Look I never said Oklahoma and LSU didn't deserve to be there (or didn't mean to imply that). My point is that there are three teams and the BCS failed this year when the #1 team in human polls is left out...causing a split championship if USC wins the Rose Bowl--one of the reasons the BCS was created.
I would have loved for USC to have the opportunity to play Oklahoma or LSU. I am extremely confident that we would beat LSU. Oklahoma would give us a great game, but I am not sure we would win that one.
At least our loss was in triple OT. I can live with being the only undefeated in regulation time team of the 3.
And you'll notice, most media touting Sugar as #2 LSU against #3 Oklahoma and Rose as #1 USC against #4 Michigan.
Simply put--this will not end up simply. It will be a contested championship IF USC wins Rose Bowl and MUCH of the PEOPLE (not computers) WILL consider USC the champs.
And when it comes right down to it-- I think the USC-Michigan matchup is a great one too. Its just unfortunate that there is no easy solution this year and that the winner of the Sugar bowl this year will have a footnote added to their championship with all this controversy.
Bottom line: BCS is not working, and will have to change. If this many people are upset, something is wrong.
