Why shouldn't someone else get one now? I'm not even arguing that they aren't the second best team, or even the best. Everyone can trot out statistics and opinions, but none of it matters. You only get real results on the field.

I really dont understand the theory that the BCS makes every game count. Like before the BCS the big schools still felt free to schedule non conference teams like Alabama did this year (Ga Southern, North Texas, Kent State) and you still needed to be undefeated or have an early season loss to have a chance to be number 1(unless you are an SEC team). The problem I have is that not only arent the games between the top team decided on the field but the "scientific" methods that the BCS uses are a joke. If you had a 4 or 8 or 16 team playoff it is as though you wouldn't have 4-8 teams getting in. It isnt like a loss wont hurt you either in getting in or in seeding. In theory the BCS makes only regular season games between the top 4 or 5 teams important anyway.

It is all propoganda so that the commissioners of the SEC, Big 10, ACC and Pac 12 can control the power and money in college football.
