    That's okay, the BCS doesn't recognize you either.

    AP? That east coast biased poll? That's the reason they had to come up with an alternative in the first place.

    Who gives a crap if you play, just suck up to some sports writers and bribe your way to number one!

      Well, K-State knocked my Longhorns out of the BCS picture. In any case, it was almost worth it watching the sullen faces of the dirtburglers at the end of the game

      Good luck in whatever bowl you guys end up in! And yes, the BCS is f*cked up.

      I hope Texas ends up playing in the Alamo bowl in my hometown of San Antonio.. then I might actually have the motivation to attend my 1st football game since I was 2 years old.

        I've decided to support my team in my avatar. I only display stuff if they are losing, requires left effort on my part that way.

          The AP poll isn't bound by the BCS formula, so USC is still in the hunt for the title, as this article points out...

          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            LSU has beaten four teams currently ranked I believe.

              USC or LSU. Oklahoma clearly is not better than K St.

                The BCS isn't completely useless, before BCS LSU, USC, and Oklahoma would have all played in three separate bowl games. At least we get two of the top three teams going head to head.

                GhengisFarb's Proposal to Replace the BCS:
                1) Go back to the way the Bowls worked before.
                2) Have a National Championship of the top two teams after all the Bowls are finished.

                Maybe the winner of the National Championship could get a special plaque or something if they did a "triple crown" - that is they win their Conference Championship, their Bowl Game, and the National Championship.

                Who am I kidding, it screwy, its always been screwy, and it will always be screwy until we have a playoffs. Which will never happen because the current Bowl system makes the NCAA TOO much money.

                      I don't understand. USC is ranked #1 right?

                      no wonder I don't follow college football.

                        Yep... the BCS just proved how invalid their system is.

                        The number one team doesn't get a shot at the championship... that's fair...

                        Well... it's only worked about half the time, so it's no surprise that it didn't work this year. It's time to end this farce.

                        There will probably be a split champion this year, just like their used to be in the past many times.

                          I've thought about the possibility of a split championship and think it wouldn't be too bad. What's the problem with it?

                          Anyway, there's lots of ironies. The east coast establishment poll ( ) picks a West coast powerhouse as #1. And Oklahoma has one of the toughest schedules.

                              Normally I'm opposed to split national titles (that's why I supported the BCS in the first place), but I also wouldn't really have a problem with it this year. You have three one-loss teams who are so similar in on-field performance that is pretty much impossible to pick the best one. Only two teams can play in the title game, so you might as well let USC in on the action if they win. The other champ won't be undefeated anyway, so who really cares?

                                Split champion? Only if USC beats Michigan
