The Ghost of bps21

Call it a fluke and ask us to look at the whole season. Then he'll claim that Oklahoma is #2 because their losses came to ranked teams and USC's one loss didn't

Could you please find me the post where someone called Oklahoma the worst team ever. ... You'll have to come back to reality to do the search though...so wear a helmet.

*Bangs head into keyboard* Is the computer designed to throw out blowout losses as flukes? Is that how this happened?

The MAC went 2-0 Further proof that Northern Illinois could have used that bowl bid.

Oh...pull your head out of YOUR ass Dama. BGSU is #1. Look at the big picture.

I'd like to add that BGSU getting slammed by Miami (Ohio) twice was also a fluke. ... as was their close loss to Ohio State. BGSU IS THE GREATEST TEAM EVER!!!!!!!!!!

No it isn't. It was a fluke.

And they lost by double digits. So if you want to make a case that OU > LSU its far easier than the one that says USC isn't #1

No they didn't. It was a fluke.

It was a fluke you know. a 28 point fluke. It's also funny that Dama decided the media was biased the day they stopped calling his team the best ever...and ranked them 3rd

What pisses me off is these OU fans who somehow think they "did enough" during the season that the last game didn't matter. IT ALWAYS MATTERS. I'm not going to swoon because OU beat Texas. Hell...a lesser Pac-10 team beat Texas.

BECAUSE THEY LOST BY 28 POINTS. USC lost in TRIPLE OT to a team that won a bowl game. How'd the team that whipped OU do?

"Well in my opinion USC and LSU are better. Despite the fact that I have no proof from the season aside from one game that OU lost" THE "PROOF" is in watching the games this year. Computers don't watch games. People do. People say USC #1, LSU #2. I didn't care who won on Sunday...since they're playing for a tie anyway...but now I hope LSU wins. You want proof? If LSU beats Oklahoma you'll have all the proof you can handle. Pac 10 beating Big 12 in the bowls...USC handling a top team...LSU beating Oklahoma who the "humans" said didn't belong in the game. The best the computer can hope for is a draw. Some system. A system that is only crowning their champion by forcing the coach's into settling with the #1 slot against their own preference. Boomer Sooner!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. This whole thing is a case of Human judgment vs. computer language. The computer doesn't look at margin of victory anymore...so laying a 77 point win on A&M is no better than beating them by 1. People (me, writers and coaches) saw USC and LSU as the top 2 teams. the knock on USC was from the computer saying they never beat anyone that good. That's why I said before yesterday if USC beat Michigan (thus proving that they were as good a team as the human polls saw they were) the computer's stupid language would be wrong. It'll get worse if LSU wins. Much worse. The computer language will spout out LSU and USC as the top 2...which is what the human polls said almost a MONTH ago.

"Tonight proved that that game was a fluke anyways seems how OU is 10x better than Ohio State." BASED ON WHAT? "our one loss by FOUR SCORES was a fluke" "We're ten times better than a team we didn't play" You are such a fanboy it isn't even funny...and hasn't been all month. If you lose by a point that could be a fluke. 28 is an ass kicking.

The team they would have had to play (the second best team in the Pac 10) would have been Washington State...who they already played this year and beat 43-16. Besides...I said you can't get blown out in your last game. If USC had been blown out by Oregon State they wouldn't have deserved to go...and they would have still won their conference.

It's not a weak reason. It's the same reason the writers and coaches agree with me. You can't get blown out in your last game and play for the National Title.

3. The Matrix Reloaded, $281.5 million 10. The Matrix Revolutions, $137.9 million hmm...nearly 150 million difference there. I wonder if people...didn't...like...them

Why the hell would you contract my Sabres with their shiny new billionaire at the helm? Leave my poor ass team alone! Someone has to beat Toronto.

I'm not sure how bad they blew the clock the first time anyway. The clock doesn't re-start when the ball is snapped...it restarts when the chains are moved. now...I wasn't watching to see if the chains were in place...but the clock certainly stopped long enough for two one legged blind men to put them in place...

Associated Press NEW ORLEANS -- BCS coordinator Mike Tranghese would like to see the human element play a bigger role in college football's national championship formula. "I'd like to see us go back to using the human polls," Tranghese told USA Today for a story on its Web site Friday, "but I don't think we can get that done." Tranghese expects conference commissioners to soon discuss possible changes in the controversial system that selects the two teams that play in the national title game. One change could be giving more weight to The Associated Press poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll than computer rankings. The Bowl Championship Series standings are derived from a complicated formula that includes poll results, seven computer rankings and strength of schedule, plus other factors. The top two teams in the final standings meet in the national championship game. Southern California, ranked No. 1 in both human polls used by the BCS, was left out of the Sugar Bowl, this season's BCS national title game. The Trojans virtually assured themselves a piece of the national championship Thursday with a 28-14 thumping of No. 4 Michigan in the Rose Bowl because voters almost certainly will leave the Trojans atop The Associated Press poll no matter what happens Sunday night in the Sugar Bowl. Voters for the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll are obligated to crown the winner of the BCS championship game between No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Oklahoma. That would produce a split national championship, just what the BCS was designed to avoid. "I can tell you the six commissioners do not take any delight or pleasure in having to defend a poll we didn't want to have in the first place," said Tranghese, the Big East commissioner. "I don't think we have a choice but to take a hard look at this." Tranghese was slated to discuss the conclusion of his tenure as BCS coordinator at a meeting of the Football Writers Association of America on Sunday. The BCS has two seasons left in its current format. "It's just not a single issue," Tranghese said. "Every time you add a twist, there's an unintended consequence." ........................................................... Now...why would they change something that works so perfectly? Two National Champions are F-U-N. One for each nation. err...wait.

"You and BPS both seem to have a bias against OU" No... I only care about one team, and they beat Northwestern last week. Hoewever, as someone who watches the games without a bias...I'm sorry...without being a fan of any of them...USC and LSU are the top 2 teams

They do the official rank based on yards allowed. Dallas was #1 in the NFL and Buffalo was #2 (#1 in the AFC)

I hear what you're saying Vern...but it's been so long since Buffalo had a young QB they drafted to groom.
