What should it have been (BCS)

Chiefnj2 · 12-03-2007, 09:56 AM

Here's what you got:
Sugar: Hawaii v. Georgia

Fiesta: West Virginia v. Oklahoma

Orange: Virginia Tech v. Kansas

Rose: USC v. Illinois

BCS National Championship: Ohio St. v. LSU

Which matchups would you have preferred?

Looks right to me, except i'd sub KU with Missouri.

Garcia Bronco · 12-03-2007, 10:01 AM

Virginia Tech vs LSU(again)

or

Virginia Tech vs OU

I don't like the Rose sticking with its Big 10 tradition. That and the 2-team rule screwed MU. (Yes, I know --

)

So blow up the stupid rules and put KU in Miami and MU in Pasadena.

That two team rule is a bunch of crap too. They want to make sure the money is balanced amongst all the conferences.

Conferences that have three top ten teams should be rewarded not punished.

They need to throw that rule out.

The glaring issue is Kansas. Georgia does not get to go to the championship game, becuase they did not win thier conference, or even go to the conference championship game for that matter.

On the other hand...

It's pretty clear that if 2 teams go from the Big 12 it should be the two teams that played in the championship game, especially when you consider that the team that didn't get invited to the BCS (Missouri) handed the team that did get invited (Kansas) thier ass two weeks earlier (on a nuetral field none the less), and the one team missouri lost to twice Kansas never played. No way a loss in a conference championship game should put you behind a team in your conference that wasn't even in that game. reeruned.

No way Ohio State should be moving up the standings when they are not playing either. That's total BS.

All this being said, I bet Missouri still ends up ahead of Kansas in the final rankings once the bowl games are over.

I don't see how any team can move down when they don't have a game. I can see moving up but not down.

Not a complaint, just an observation.

It all balances out.

KU and MU are probably not top 10 teams. They played well in the relatively weak Big XII.

I think OU - LSU would have been a better NCS game. I think OSU is going to get embarrassed again this year.

Molitoth · 12-03-2007, 10:12 AM

Take away the 3 team conf rule:::

Title Game:
Ohio State (1) vs LSU (2)

Fiesta:
West Virginia (9) v. Oklahoma (4)

Sugar:
Kansas (8) v. Hawaii (10)

Orange:
Virginia Tech (3) v. Missouri (6)

Rose:
USC (7) v. Georgia (5)

I know, I know... those would be good games.
Hire me for prez.

I know I'm in the minority, but I still think I'd put OU in the championship game over LSU. Oklahoma was inconsistent, but so was everybody else. I think they have the most talented team in the country.

Oh ya, and MU should be in the Orange Bowl
