I hate the BCS... only the BCS could have a one loss Texas and Notre Dame ranked below two SEC teams that were beaten by teams ranked lower than themselves at the time.

Michigan and OSU are there correctly. Can't argue those but let's move down the list here...

West Virginia... One victory over a team w/ a winning record. One. If you're going to put them there then you have to put Boise State there as well. Where's there love for the smurfs??? They have at least 4 victories over teams w/ winning records. Louisville is even a better pick for #3. They have 4 over winning teams and one over a ranked team. For all I know WVU will mop the floor w/ the Cards come Thursday, but right now they have proven NOTHING to be where they are.

Moving on to the one loss teams...

How can a Auburn team that has had almost 3 losses to unranked teams and one lost to an unranked team jump UT and Notre Dame? Preposterous!!! Auburn has had nothing short of mediocrity this year and yet they sit in the top 6? Tennessee above them too? Come on BCS... I'm an Ag and hate ND but this is the royal screwover!!!



Explain to me 2 weeks ago where

Cal was over Tennessee
Mizzou was over A&M
Arkansas over Auburn
Clemson over Boston College.

Tell me this, O' technological genuises of college football how you can take teams w/ even records, and put the team that lost the head-to-head on top of the team that beat them!!!??!?1/11/!?!!?!?1/1??!!/!1

It's almost as if the computers can't think logically enough to take the real world situation of what happened and who has won and put them in a proper place.... Oh wait... they can't think logically!!!

But let's put the deciding vote of who's better into an inanimate object that can't determine that Tennessee beat the ever living daylights out of California. Let's let a computer determine that Texas losing 24-7 to the #1 team in the land deserves to push them down further than Auburn losing 27-10 to an unranked team.

The BCS should not come out until after the last game is played. here's why:

1. look @ Boise State or Rutgers. Great chance that both of these teams can win out and miss the big dance. Any system that doesn't allow ANY team amongst the 119 to win is completely unfair. If you don't start in the top 20 you don't have a chance usually.

2. I'm an admitted aggie fan... but bare w/ me here. Let's say that Auburn wins out the rest of the year and so does A&M ( I don't use Texas in this instance because they began ranked highly). They both win their respective championships and finish the regular season 12-1. A&M was beaten by #25 by 4 points w/ 26 seconds left. Auburn was losing the entire game to a team that wasn't even in the ORV category in most polls by 17 points. A team that smoked them by running the Annexation of Puerto Rico w/ a guy who's 4'11 at that!!!! Who's ranked higher? Auburn. What have they done to deserve it? Have a better team last year? Start out ranked higher? Is one of these fair? Did they take on some strong and great team out of conference better than A&M? Wazzu? Buffalo? Tulane? Do these teams strike more fear in your heart than ULaLa, Army, and Louisiana Tech? Take this year for this year and leave last year and the preseason out.

The BCS and Myles Brand lucked out last year. There was a cut and dry #1 and a cut and dry #2... Unless you're Matt Leinart saying something about being the better team as a scoreboard and large black man wearing the number 10 and carrying a large crystal ball disagree w/ him in the background... but I digress. I have a strong feeling that this year is going to end the same way. Some 11-1 teams are going to be left out of the big dance. Another one will get the invite and get smoked and all the 11-1's are going to be saying wouldacouldashoulda. And they're completely justified in being angry. They do deserve a shot. And they deserve a system that doesn't screw them... be it the playoffs ( write it down. 32 teams, 4 from each major conference, 2 from mid-majors and the independents can join up or shut up), or be it removal of the computers for 12 weeks of the season. Something's got to be done.
