Gee, I can't think of any reason why OSU got the shaft except for three reasons:
- Money
- Money
- and.......money
If they were OU, UT, USC, or Ohio State, they would have gotten the nod. Nah, no politics or dollar chasing here, none what...so....ever.

The Sugar Bowl is even more obvious. How the hell did Virginia Tech get in instead of a team like Boise State or Kansas State?Gee, I can't think of any reason why OSU got the shaft except for three reasons:

Instead of a fair system, they made a system to make the most money possible and it's really pathetic.Gee, I can't think of any reason why OSU got the shaft except for three reasons:

Oh, and LMAO at Baylor getting stuck in the Alamo Bowl with a #12 BCS ranking. So much for having a leading Heisman Trophy candidate and the top offense in the nation, a lot of good that did them. What a ******* farce.
Against UW? This game is going to be a slaughter.:lol:

This is what happens when a global sports network gets in bed with a dubious organization like the BCS. ESPN didn't get the nickname "Eastern Sports Players Network" for nothing. VA Tech is the bigger name and ratings draw, Boise and Kansas aren't, that's why they're in the bigger money bowl game.
How the hell has the BCS not been hit with an antitrust suit yet?

Same thing with the 2011 Fiesta Bowl.
#25 UConn vs. #9 Oklahoma. :lol:
Completely ignored teams like Nevada and Utah
Actually, that one happened because the Big East is an auto-bid conference...Same thing with the 2011 Fiesta Bowl.

Just looked over the matchups compared to the BCS rankings. Yeah, the Sugar and Orange Bowls are so laughably rigged. Baylor got completely ******.

It has. As a matter of fact, it's been investigated by congress, which is probably why the investigation got nowhere. :P[QUOTE="channtheman1"]The BCS voters did put Alabama at 2 again. We saw this game already... why are we watching it again? Oh yeah, SEC bias.No_Hablo_InglesBecause Bama is the 2nd best. Bias has nothing to do with it. They are without a doubt the best conference. Florida LSU Florida Alabama Auburn There in a good conference but Ok St has better wins. Alabama has 3 total wins against teams with winning records and even faced subdivision teams......When I checked Friday, Ok St had 5 wins against current top 25 teams alone........
Big 12 commish now wants a 4 team playoff system. :?
Wait, so it wasn't right for the big 12 three years ago when the SEC commish suggested the same thing, albeit different big 12 commish at the time.
Nope, two best teams are playing, as it should be.
bleehum
If they're as a result of votes, then I guess we'll never know who the best is will we?
When I checked Friday, Ok St had 5 wins against current top 25 teams alone........ mastershake575and a lost to a team that ended up 6-6. Alabama's one and only lost came to the #1 team in the nation... in overtime... losing by 3 points.

(not only that but im not even arguing who should go , im arguing that "oh there in the SEC" statement which is BS since there not even top 20 in that nation in strength of schedule....)

Who the better team is is 100% subjective. That can't be their reasoning for picking one team over the other. monkeytoes61That's why college coaches basically decide as a group...
Why are coaches allowed to vote? That's just bizarre. They have a financial incentive to give higher rankings to themselves and their opponents (to pad strength of schedule), and the individual voting results reflect this.
Plus they almost certainly watch less games each weekend when compared with the average AP voter or even common fan. They may watch in conference games, but a large portion of their Saturday's are for their own team.Why are coaches allowed to vote? That's just bizarre.

So a... PLAYOFF SYSTEM? in the BCS???? No that's waaaay to fair and balanced.[QUOTE="GodofBigMacs"][QUOTE="GamerForca"] [QUOTE="The_Zoid"]I said this in another thread...but LSU vs Stanford OSU vs Alabama Winners play. Is that scenario really a world of trouble? It at least gives four teams a chance. JML897
Please. Think of the kids. They miss more cIasses if they have to play another week.
(brb, adding more teams to the 68-team basketball tournament)
Yeah it always baffles me to think of it. First of all, very few actually believe the BCS system is the best system. Second, considering how much money and attention March madness brings in, isn't only logical that a playoff system for the BCS be installed?So i was just thinking...............in the real sports we have 30 teams with long schedules AND playoffs. How in the world does anyone think they can take a pool of over 100 teams, have them play a 12 team schedule and somehow come out with the best 2 to play for a championship?? Without a playoff? That's just insane. Doesn't matter what peoples "eyes tell them", perceptions can be wrong.X360PS3AMD05I think 99% of the world agree with you....the 1% being the people who profit from all the bowl games.
