Crothian, who do you think the Rose will select to oppose Michigan? My money's on Florida St. or Miami.

Game over 35-7 KS wins. I think KS could have done even more damage, but they let it slide.
Going to be interesting..

Cal playing the Insight Bowl Dec 26 against Va Tech. Good enough for me.

Well, there still is a chance that USC does not make it into the National Championship game. So, it could be them. Otherwise I'd imagine it being FSU.

Predictions are in that USC could be No.1 in both polls but LSU vs. OU for the title.

This just proves the BCS is broken and that we need a playoff.

I'm for a Miami vs. Ohio State Rematch in the Orange Bowl.

You are so right that it isn't funny.

Exactly. With a slew of 1-loss teams, the ONLY way to determine which ones should play for the title is to have a playoff. Computer rankings, strength of scheduless...it's idiotic. Those say nothing about who is the better team, just which team's opponents screwed up or not. I mean, come on, if the Boise State/Hawaii came can determine whether or not USC or LSU goes to the big game, something is seriously wrong.

As a BCS hater, it warms my heart to see OU lose.

So if 1-AA/2A, etc. can have a football playoff, why can't the big boys?

They can, it's just that the people in charge don't want one.

No worse than some idiot voters who put no thought into there votes and will drop a team for not winning impressively enough.

Yes it will be messed up if that happens. Moreover, all the critics of the BCS will love this and go wild on the talk radio shows and sports commentary shows about the situation.

It seems likely that the Sugar will be LSU v. Oklahoma. So what happens after #2 in both polls LSU beats #3 in both polls Oklahoma in a virtual home game (the Sugar/BCS Championship) while #1 in both polls USC beats #4 in both polls Michigan in a virtual home game (the Rose Bowl)?

Probably a split title (USC ends up AP #1; the coach's poll is required to give their title to the BCS title game winner) -- and the anti-BCS sentiment in the Big 10, Pac 10, and Rose Bowl gets a lot stronger. Will it be enough to kill the BCS and get a playoff? Probably not.

History suggests, though, that the humans are a lot better than the BCS at identifying the top 2 teams when there's a difference of opinion; Oregon was clearly a lot better than Nebraska in 2001.

[edit: removed note that I'm guessing as to poll standings, as my guesses were correct]
