Who do you think belongs in Sugar Bowl?
What a mess we have now! We have watched over 135 college football games and as I post this I have no idea who should play in the title game. One of the guys on are staff suggested this thought.
Now that each team has one loss, what was the margin of defeat and the pointspread in which they lost.
LSU -10 lost 17-10 to Florida minus -17 points
USC -13 lost 34-31 to Cal. (OT) minus -16 points
Oklahoma -14 lost 35-7 K.State minus -42 points
Just another thought gentlemen.
Here would be our Impact Power Number spreads in the different scenarios for the Sugar Bowl.
Oklahoma -3 over LSU
Oklahoma -5 over USC
LSU -2 over USC
How would these New Year's games look if we took the Top 4 and had them play each other.
Oklahoma vs. Michigan
LSU vs USC
Who would possibly be upset about this?
Oh yea, these student athletes would miss additional class time!

i would have to disagree with you there. The SEC is by far one of the toughest conferences in the nation, if not the toughest. The only team that was decent that Okl. played was Texas and everyone knows that Texas can't win a big game. They don't even show up for the big game. ole miss, fl, ga, tn, o' ya and arkansas who beat texas and arkansas also got spanked by LSU.
IT matters when you loose your one game in this BCS system. YOu loose your firsty game of the year and win out you will be number 2 by years end(if you don't have TCU's schedule) Pesonally, i think it sucks.
Otherwise there are 6 or so other teams that deserve to go to the national championship game, with only one loss.
LSU vs. USC Nat. Championship

that's the
way it should be, man. It happen to TN a couple years ago when they lost the SEC championship--to LSU and they got snuffed from the national champ. game. there is no reason why oklahoma should go now. The BCS would contradict itself from previous years and show how hypocritical computers and formula's can be. If you loose this late in the season then you should be out of the contention for the big prize.

The BCS is not afraid to send a 1-loss team that did not win their conference to the NC game. Look at Nebraska in '01. The BCS is garbage. USC and LSU are obviously the hottest 2 teams in the country. They have the longest win streaks of any team in the top 5. Only one will end up in New Orleans. College football needs a playoff.
