Lol, I thought Bo was the guy who you quoted about the playoffs thing. I just saw this, let me see..
Well, the way the system works, USC is not the number one team. They are the AP/USA Today/Coaches Poll etc etc number one team. What determines the top two teams in the nation is a computer program that goes over the statistics of every team in the league, their opponents, and their outcomes. In the end LSU played better against a tougher schedule, so they came out number two on the BCS computers.
No, I dont think the BCS is the best way to decide who plays in the national title game. I do however think that is it for the most part accurate.
The BCS is like the Yahoo! Fantasy sports thing. It ranks players based on their overall stats in every category. In basketball right now, Baron Davis is #1 and Kevin Garnett is #2. That is totally based on stats, but who can you say is a more valuble player to have? It might not be 100% accurate, but it is close enough.
I dont know, I dont know very much about USC and LSU football. I just think that it is a joke saying that Oklahoma doesnt deserve to be in the title game because they lost to the #13 team in the nation and were rated #1 on every poll all year.
