Official cheer for things that muck up the BCS thread.

Then who would go? Texas who didn't even play in their conference title? Or USC who would be 11-1 and the Pac 10 champ?
Or PSU at 11-1?

Mess it all up.

In that scenario, Florida, Texas and USC would be the 3 teams vying, and by SOS and conference strength it's a no-brainer: Texas vs Florida. The Pac 10 was a joke as a conference this year...

But Texas didn't beat anyone out of conference and USC has the Win over #10 OSU to brag on.

Florida played Citadel and should be disaqualified for that reason alone.

A) I give Texas a pass on the Arkansas game. It was probably scheduled ten years ago. How could the AD at UT know Arkansas would suck ass in 2008?
B) USC lost to Oregon State, a horribly mediocre team. They choke every year against shitty competition. Eff the choking Trojans.
C) It IS shameful that Florida played Citadel. But if they beat Bama (and Bama is certainly for real), they have to go. I actually feel dirty saying that because I hate the Gators with a passion, but fair is fair...

Texas vs Arkansas is actually considered a rivalry game to the Arkansas fans. It goes back to the old Big South conference. So it isn't that bad of an out of conference game. But it is the only legit game they played out of conference. Oklahoma beat 2 top 25 ranked teams out of conference.

USC lost in a very tough place to play on a Thursday night. They weren't "UP" for the game at all and barely lost. I watched the game. They just blew it. I hate USC but I'd rather see them play a top SEC team to see how they really stack up. I don't want another USC beat down of a Big 10 team in the rose bowl. That's so boring.

Oklahoma is great, but they choke in the big games. I want to see USC either step up and shut up the SEC or get beat like they did against Texas.

Had to reserect this thread one last time for the utah Utes. Screwed out of a chance at a national title by a stupid corrupt system

I don't think they should get a chance. I don't understand how a non BCS school can get in to a BCS game.

Because they were one of the best teams in the country, maybe? It's too bad that "outside" teams have to make it that obvious to even get a shot at a lesser BCS bowl. All the BCS is, is a coalition of the conferences where the money is centered. If you're 12-0 and you've played a few decent teams, you ought to be guaranteed a shot to keep playing until you either lose or you have a national championship trophy, end of story.

I'm always against these non-BCS teams claiming a share, but I've changed my tune this year, and here's why:

-Utah didn't shy from scheduling OOC teams. Hell, 90% of the SEC teams would not schedule Michigan (and when the game was scheduled, nobody could have known Michigan would suck this year). They also scheduled Oregon State, which is no great shakes, but they DID beat USC.
- They beat Alabama. It's not the Utes fault that bama overlooked them. It was a BCS bowl game...you need to show up to play.
-They are undefeated. That's tough in any conference nowadays.
-SOS. It's probably not that horrible.
