Ok, I am stepping onto the soapbox now.
The game should be LSU vs. USC.
The rational is that Oklahoma got stomped by the then #13 ranked team and so they don't deserve to be in the Championship Game.
I don't understand how Georgia drops from #5 to #11 when they were beat by the #3 team, and Oklahoma drops from #1 to #3 when they were beaten by the #13 team by a larger margin.
Also how did they get 8 1st place votes after that loss?
The reason a late season loss hurts more than an early season loss is that your team should be better later in the season as they should have the kinks worked out.
Instead of USC fans being mad that LSU is in the Sugar Bowl, they should be mad that Oklahoma is in it. LSU deserves to be there USC deserves to be there, but Oklahoma should have fallen further in the polls than they did, which would have caused them to not be there.
On a sidenote if Georgia wouldn't have fallen so far in the polls they would have given LSU a larger margin over USC in the BCS as they would have been given quality of win points.
I am now stepping off the soapbox.

Please Oklahoma fans don't bash me, I'm a Notre Dame fan and so I really don't care who wins the National Championship.
