tell me why Ou or Florida deserves to be in the BCS game over them


there is no fairness to west coast teams on a natioanl level

cleary the pac 10 is every bit as good this year as any top confernce if you have been waching the bowls - they have won shootouts and defensive games

The week that most of the pac 10 lost to those mountain valley teams or whatever... and usc getting beat by osu. that is probably the 2 biggest factors for USC going rose.

People thought the Pac 10 was very bad this year so that didnt help USC. Turns out the Pac 10 is pretty good!

But, the only team USC can fault is themselves.... if you want to win a National Championship game you cant lose to OSU.

The Gator loss to Ol' Miss was unfortunate, but it was by a blocked extra point and Ol' Miss turned out to be a real good team (IMO) this year. What the Gators have done since that loss has been rediculous.

And USC didnt beat the #1 team in the country for the conference championship either.

Gators and Oklahoma deserve to be in the championship... or the Gators and Texas. USC could have beat them all (I think UF beats USC tho)... but they shouldnt have lost to OSU!!

no, they don't. kills me when those with a team bias can't step back and consider things objectively.

Missippi was 8-4

Vanderbilt and USC beat them - 2 very medicore teams ,

Ole Miss is playing well now no question , but they were a middle of the road SEC team in the early part of the season

Ole miss is playing good ball now , i'll give you that , but again UF lost a home game in confernce and USC lost on the road in confernce big big difference - and USC wasn't blown out they lost a close game just like UF it

There is a west coast bias , no question about it - it's unfair to these kids to not get a chance

has everyone forgot the beavers got CRUSHED by PSU in happy valley.
IF there were a 4 or 8 team playoff, usc would not string together 2-3 blowouts against Good defenses and teams that would punch back.

utah has to come cross country to the sugar bowl - which is almost a home game for any sec team , and they should hammer them - no excuses , we shall see tonight

tide - what do you think was 'bama's best win this season ???

I'm not arguing about Florida.

What I am saying is, if you lose a game, any game, against any opponent, you leave it up to the polls and computers. It is the current system that they are playing under.

Plain and simple. Win 'em all. It's not about OSU or UM.

fair eneough , but don't forget a 2 loss team got to play a home game for the bcs title last year - and don't tell me about the ot stories that was a great sell by the tigers last year

there was a team from the big 12 that had only 1 loss and could have gone over LSU

not what - you can't tell me that we can't have a plus 1 right now

let utah play the uf /ou winner during the bye week before the super bowl

no reason it can't happen this year

funny, you mention supposed mediocre teams..osu is right in that category! fla's one loss was to a better team than usc's one loss. then there's strength of schedule-and of course style points. fla smoked some good teams, made them look like division 2 opponents-and them beating the #1 team in the sec championship sure didn't hurt them.
i can see arguing for texas to be in the title game, but not usc.
