**petegz28** · 12-03-2007, 08:14 AM

**** this article and **** the BCS. LSU 11-2 ahead of MU, KU and OU yet MU at 11-2 is behind OU and KU for the bowl selection yet ahead of KU and Illinois in the BCS polls.

You obviously don't understand how the system works. MU should be behind both LSU and OU. MU is ahead of KU in the rankings as they should be. The bowls can choose whichever eligible teams they want for the at-large bids, and the Orange chose Kansas and the Rose chose Illinois.

I understand the BCS rankings have MU ahead of KU and Illinois yet the BCS Bowls...nevermind.

WTF is the point of having BCS rankings if the BCS dumb ****s won't even follow their own rankings?

The rankings determine which two teams go to the National Championship game and which 14 teams (provided they have 9+ wins) are eligible for at-large bids. Outside of that and the automatic bids, the individual bowls select which teams go.

Sorry it all sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Rankings seem to be used but then discarded in the end.

This is why I don't watch college football. There is too much a "good ole' boys" club. Every year I hear about how the BCS screws up and man this year really takes the cake.

OU and USC should be the NC game. Not OSU and LSU.

But...but....but......

Yeah, OU and USC should be there because their losses to Colorado and Texas Tech and Stanford and Oregon (I'll give on that one) are much more impressive than LSU's losses in 3OT to Arkansas and Kentucky. Lets also forget that LSU has a higher SOS than both teams and beat 4 teams in the BCS top-25 (#3 VT, #12 UF, #16 Tenn, #23 Auburn).

Yep, it's a good ole boy system... and OU and USC are left out because they're not a part of that.

Since when does SOS matter? MU has a stronger SOS than KU and Illinois. MU beat KU and Illinois, etc, etc.

You were just saying something abotu ranking snot really mattering after 1 and 2 now you are talking out of the other side of your mouth abotu SOS?

After the conference champions get in, it's a popularity contest, and an audition of Athletic Director's as to which one can be the biggest whore for the At-Large BCS spots.

Unless it's the Rose Bowl, who will take a Pac 10 and Big 10 team every single time if they can.

Part of me is wondering if this is a slap at MU's A-Department for all the crap that happened with the basketball team?
