Okie St or Alabama?

The fact still remains, the winner of the CHAMPIONSHIP game should be the CHAMPION, regardless of how the teams got there. Whether it was done by voting, rankings, playoffs, or whatever is irrelevant.

Not when the system is this flawed, corrupt and is the single most idiotic thing in sports today. No when a system this ****** up a co champion is deserved in this instance.

How do you in a non drunken state, rationally say that when two teams play each other two times and each wins one time that one is a "champion" over the other when there is no playoff system to get them into this game. Given the fact that one team beat the other at their home, had a tougher schedule, and had to win one more game to get there.

Didn't USC get a co-championship recently? Well if Alabama wins it should be shared.

They should have the damn computers choose the best team. If that's the system, why change it for just the last game if it's a good enough system for the rest of the time?

i think the bigger blunder was putting u mich in a bcs bowl game. they werent even in their conference championship and there were teams ranked ahead of them in the polls. how did they get in again? why doesnt boise state or michigan st get in? michigan st was in the big 10 champ game and split the season series with the big 10 champ

Totally agree with this.

For a country that seems to loath injustice and loves democracy we seem to be ok with this stupid BCS system.

The bowl committees just thumb their noses at the system and will take any team that qualifies if they will travel better than another. Who cares about the games lets make sure we get Michigan in a "BCS" game so their fans will come in hordes because this meaningless bowl is more meaningful than others.

Now I did hear that the BCS is most likely going to go under some major reconstruction after this season much like the year USC didn't go and OU did. What they keep saying on TV and radio is the main change will be if you don't win your conference you can't play in the BCS championship game.

To me, OK state is more impressive:

BCS rankings
#6, #22, and #25 (Bama) v. #8, #12, #14 and #24 (OK State)

BTW, how is Arkansas 6 with 2 wins over teams over .500?

I am pretty surprised no one cared about this. OK State has better wins than Bama.

Also OK State played 9 conference games (same you play with a championship game in the SEC) to Bama's 8. OK State played 10 BCS conference teams to Bama's 9. OK State also did not schedule a 1-aa team.


By the logic everyone is saying, Michigan should have played a rematch v. OSU in 06. Their 3 point loss at OSU was better than USC losing to Oregon State or Florida losing by 10 to Auburn

it's the truth. nothing else really matters. Okie State doesn't wet the bed against Iowa State and they are in and bama is playing Stanford.

Loses matters more than good wins and amount of wins? And why the constant bed wetting reference my weak bladder is offended.

Michigan State was not eligible. They did not pick Michigan over Michigan State! If you don't win your conference, you have to be in the top 14 of the BCS to be selected as an at large. Michigan State did beat Michigan, but finished with 3 losses. They got blown out by Nebraska and Notre Dame, who Michigan beat. If they'd have won one of those we probably wouldn't be having this argument. Michigan lost 2 games all year, and they are playing their best football of the year the past few weeks. I'd have much rather had them playing in the Big Ten Championship game for a shot at the Rose Bowl than "sitting on their couches getting something they don't deserve." Hey Cousins, win the game and it doesn't matter. Your coach made a stupid decision to try to block a punt near the end of the game and your DC's idea of "60 minutes of unneccesary roughness" blew up in his face. Tough. Karma is a bitch. It's pretty sad and petty when the first thing out of MSU's mouths after losing a very competitive championship game was about Michigan. Get over it. Michigan has a better brand name, and always will. I was at the game and let me tell you, it was glorious watching the Michigan State fans in disbelief after the running into the kicker call, and the loss. Watching Wisconsin win a game has never felt so good to me. MSU got screwed last year, and then got blown out by Bama in their bowl game. I'll guarantee they lose to Georgia this year too.

Putting VT in there was the dumb move. They got killed twice by Clemson, and I don't think they beat a ranked team all year. K State, Boise or TCU should have their beef with VT and not Michigan. But this is what the BCS has become, it's all about putting asses in the seats. Boise didn't win their conference so they were not an AQ.

Also, this isn't the BCS's fault. All the BCS was ever set up to do was decide the best matchup for 1 vs. 2. After that, the bowls pick the participants. Yes, it comes down to money because...it's America. Either way, I won't argue that the Sugar Bowl matchup should be different, but it should be by replacing VT. Even their coach was surprised they got in.

As a genetically superior Northerner, I wholeheartedly agree.
