LSU vs. Oklahoma for the national championship in the Big Easy.

USC gets screwed, Oklahoma doesn't deserve to be there.

That sucks! USC gets to play Michigan #1 vs. #4 while LSU #2 faces #3 Oklahoma for the title lol

Now this would be a good thing if it was a playoff system but the BCS really f'd up this year

Although USC did get screwed, I still stand firm in saying that OK is one of the best teams ever to play in the NCAA. They demonstrated throughout the season that they could not only beat anybody they played, but most of the time blow them out as well. Unlike Ohio State last year in which they edged by in most of their games and still went to the championship in which they did not deserve. I feel really bad for USC because they are playing some great football right now. However, I think that OK belongs right where they are because every team has a bad day and it's a matter of chance whether an opponent can catch them down. Luckily, K. State did just that. Oh well...just some more BCS bullcrap as usual. I mean, look at Tennessee, they are the highest ranked team ever to play in the Peach Bowl. Why didn't they make the Orange bowl? I mean who the heck wants to see Miami (Fl) vs. Fl. State again? The BCS should be done away with and a tournament should be enacted for the top 10 teams in a deciding poll (whichever the committee chooses) so that we can really crown a champion. In what other sport does the #1 team get shafted like this? If you think of one, let me know.

yeah, i know! we're like #7 and playing clemson!
<-- loc

I'll have to say that this is going to be a good game and not a blow out. I'll go with USC by a field goal in this matchup.

Perry is gonna rush on them (150+ yds) and Michigan wins, 38-24 is my outcome pick.

I'm a Michigan fan

I think this shows the strength of the BCS and the weakness behind human polls. All three teams lost one game, everyone is moaning because UO's happened to have been the last game, if it was the first game they would be #1 without a doubt. Thier SOS is almost three times better then both LSU and USC, they are the only one of the three to have a quality win and they have destroyed every other team but KS in a fasion i have never seen and people still insist on bitching. UO IS THE #1 team and shame on the ESPN and AP polls for not reflecting that.

The BCS screws USCover.. In my opinion, they are the best team in the nation.. I dont think Oklahoma deserves to play in the Sugar Bowl.. Mainly because both USC and LSU were both champions of their conferences.. What does Oklahoma have? Nothing.. Case closed, Sugar Bowl should be USC and LSU..

how is USC screwed??

face it. you lose a game, you are at the mercy of the system. if USC didn't want to get "screwed", don't lose to Cal. it's that simple.


look at SOS. who's is worst? who's only played 1 team that is still ranked? USC and USC.

however, it still bothers me that OU isn't their conference champion.



however, i'm stoked. i'll be at the rose bowl to watch michigan play usc. this will be the only game i get to see this year, since i've moved to cali, and don't have season tix to the big house anymore. i think michigan can pull past usc. then hopefully LSU will beat OU, and things will be ok. however, if michigan can't beat usc, we're going to have another split national championship, which means the bcs didn't do it's job.

yes, they lost one game just like usc and lsu

WOW, this post better be shut down. First off, you tech geeks have no idea what the hell your talkin about. You certainly do not know football, and to top all that off well your just pointless. Oklahoma deserves to be #1, and according to SinFy's comments, OSU was a good ass team last year a win is a win dip****. They found ways to win, that proves they're a good and SMART team. Oklahoma is certainly not the best team ever in the NCAA also. Wow I'm not even going to argue my point because you guys are just idiot geeks out trying to act like you have a life.

Bye

as you are apparently a football god, thank you for gracing us with your presence and saying nothing worth while. OSU is a good team but there is a good bit of luck involved in winning most of your games by a touchdown or less. Ohh i hope you come back and school us all with your never ending football knowledge...

haha, that's the funniest post i've read in a while. you gotta love when someone claims to be smart, ridicules people for not backing stuff up, yet fails to do any of the same for his post.

to me, you are just another jackass newbie. you said nothing with merit in your post, you make wildly inaccurate assumptions (#1 clue that you are a jackass and have no clue that you know what you are talking about), and you insult people on an internet forum. please, entertain us some more...

but winning a conference championship has been historically linked to the national title.


if you lose a game, you throw yourself at the mercy of the system. the system is unbiased, and computes everything the same for everyone. the next thing you can look at is strength of schedule (since margin of victory was removed), and usc had the weakest. end of story.

i don't care if usc keeps crying though, just increases michigans chances of shutting them up for good, although it's gonna suck basically being a home game for usc, and michigan having to travel so far, but that's ok.

if you dont win your conference championship, in my opinion, you dont deserve to play in a national championship game. brochahos you are right, usc does need to get over it in order to not get blown out by a good michigan team. i was reading the sports section in the newspaper today and usc said that they will treat the game against michigan as the "national championship game."

its a crying shame that the #1 team in the country, as voted on by the coaches and the sportswriters, wont be able to play for a national championship. now, oklahoma and LSU both deserve to play for the title as well. you have got to be an idiot to not see how this could all be solved. PLAYOFF!!!!! why does the NCAA not see this? why do the schools not see this? there should have been a playoff to begin with. the bowl system always was a bad idea. if this is the kind of publicity the NCAA wants for its D-1 football, then they can keep the bcs. im tired of hearing this sh1t every year. until this is fixed, ill continue to sleep on saturdays and watch my football on sundays, thank you very much.

LSU definitely deserves to be in the NC because they are champions of the strongest conference this year. USC had a cupcake schedule this year and is why they arent playing in the NC. However, no team would be able to lose the last game of the year against another team who plays a cupcake schedule every year, Kansas St. Oklahoma has a great football team and they can contend with anyone in the nation, but had the circumstances been with another team...this would not have happened.

bcs is screwed

yep, i was listening to sports radio in my car in atlanta yesterday when they announced this, they said "mark it on your calendars, at 5:36 pm, December 7, 2003, the BCS died."

yep.. how many more years does it have? until 2005 is it? i cant wait for it to be gone

One more year.

i just hope USC beats michigan so there will be a split national champion. everyone would be like "omg this sucks" for a few days. then the nfl playoffs would start, and everyone would focus on the real deal

I will sacrifice Michigan if it brings a playoff, if not let Michigan smoke USC

BCS sucks needs to die College football needs to be done like college basketball two pools a year are better then one.

i wanna know how is oklahomas sos so good, who did they play? Texas got killed by Arkansas, i think the big 12 is overrated.

right on, brother!! i hate the big 12 too. texas is the most overrated team of the century. they get blown out by oklahoma, blown out by arkansas, how are they still ranked so high? they should be the lowest 2 loss team out there, hell, 3 loss kstate is better than texas right now.

no ****ing way in hell michigan is gonna let usc take this one. put usc in their place, let lsu whoop on overrated oklahoma, who in my opinion also plays a weak schedule. then everything will be fine.

wait...this is too funny...a michigan fan talking about being overrated.

they did have a good season though, you cant take that away from them.

f the bcs, its lame.

you think we're overrated? please explain...

2 more years. The contract ends after the 2005-2006 season.

This year Michigan has a good team. But traditionally, Michigan has always been a favorite of sportswriters. Michigan is the only team i know that can lose 3 games..and never leave the top 10. it gets rediculous sometimes. Watching Michigan play Minnesota the sportscasters are like "The Golden Gophers are playing superb against the Michigan Superstars" ...now when did Michigan change their nickname?

no, hes an auburn fan, hes upset because that little redneck school never gets the credit it deserves

No..Auburn deserves no credit because they have a quarterback dumb as bricks. Thats how you ruin a good season. Tubberville deserved to get backstabbed with the coaching he did this year. You dont leave in a dumbass quarterback who cant move an offense with one of the best backfields in college football.

redneck school? what makes you think that?

i dunno, we traditionally have one of the toughest schedules, year in and year out. assuming ND isn't ass backwards like they have been the past few years...
so yeah, if we've lost to a top 10 ND and a top 10 ohio state, we'll usually still stay in the top 10. usually, we'll just be the highest ranked 2 loss team, which makes sense if the next thing you look at is SOS.

I'm with Brochaos. Michigan is not overrated (Btw, congrats, Bro, you deserved it!!! ).

They've got one of the best running backs in Perry in the nation, they know how to manipulate defensive lines (Perry ran all over OSU's Will Allen), the passing game has been going well, and Carr does well in big games (MN and OSU this year)

Getting on the subject of the BCS, I still can't figure out the OK thing. I really think it was a conspiracy. OSU won several close games this year, just like last and they ended up dropping 1-3 spots throughout the season. Yeah, the BCS is computers and all, but thy need to factor in scores, cause OK got spanked by KSU.

Now, I just pray that OSU has better luck come Fiesta time!

Bro, you heard the rumors of possibly bringing in another team into the Big 10 for a championship game? I heard that Big 10 officials REALLY want Notre Dame to join the Big 10.

(Oh, btw Bro, you can edit your sig now with the outcome! )

Them's fightin' words, son

Please explain, I'd love to hear your excuses!

yeah, it's funny how people still can't comprehend last year. as much as i hate OSU, they deserved everything last year.

oh, another thing about Mich. being overrated. being overrated means not beating the teams you are supposed to beat. under carr, michigan is like what, 12-2 against top ten teams?

compare that to say, virginia tech, who was like 0-11 against top ten teams until they beat miami this year. that's called being overrated.
