13-7 Pitt and Pat White is out late in the 4th

unbelieveable

Here we go. If Mizzou and WVU both lose, we're going to have to deal with the likelihood of a two-loss team in the NT game. And I wonder how the voters will vote. Georgia is next in line at number 4 in the BCS. But, they didn't win their conference. That seemed to matter to voters last year. I bet LSU will get bumped up to the NT game in the scenario where WVU and Mizzou both lose.

Perhaps they should give Hawaii a chance if they manhandle Washington.

I'm still pulling for OU. I want the BCS to blow up and get a playoff in place.

I cant believe that a playoff wouldnt bring in more money than the status quo. the presidents and the bowls are so friggin greedy.

IMHO USC is the team playing the best right now and deserves to play OSU

i don't want a national playoff. i don't like the BCS. i much prefer the way it used to be when winning your conference was the target. used to be alot of schools could finish as champs each year. the current fad for "there can only be one" is impossible to sort out: undefeated teams that don't get considered and multiple losers that don't win their conference get serious looks.

blow up the BCS stuff and let the conference championships be the goal.

As for Richt...He neglected to mention that his Bulldogs got spanked by a very mediocre Tennessee team this season. I'll say what I said last year, they had their chance, they blew it. IF Georgia had beaten LSU during the regular season, I could maybe see giving them the nod ahead of LSU even though they didn't make the title game, but they didn't.

On to the other contenders....Virginia Tech is being tossed around, but they got destroyed by LSU at the beginning of the season, so they shouldn't get the nod ahead of LSU.

OU beat a very good Mizzou team (twice) as well as won their conference. To me, they have a good shot because they didn't lose their second to last game of the season, but they look to be hurt by a somewhat weaker schedule.

USC...well, they could be in it, but they lost to Stanford.

LSU looks to have a pretty good case, but they did just lose to a 6-6 Arkansas team a week ago and barely scraped by Tennessee in the SEC championship game.

Edit: No matter what happens, the BCS failed miserably this year.

Yeah I'm happy Ohio St is playing for the title but man I am sick of Jim Delaney, the Big 10, PAC 10 and the Rose Bowl for being the main opposition to a playoff.

WE NEED A PLAYOFF, yeah it was nice to have these traditional bowl games but that was a different time when travel was harder and there was less money. Times change and traditions change, its now time to have a playoff so lets look at the arguments these morons make against a playoff:

1) the players will miss too much class time
BS!!!! If all the other divisions can have a playoff why cant Div I? Div III has a 32 team playoff those univs are much tougher academically than what players in DI programs face. heck most states have 32-64 team playoffs in high school. most schools would be on semester break while a playoff occurs and would likely miss only a few days of class. heck hoops players miss more class time than football players

2) the bowls have been good to DI and are viable
Have you seen the crowds at some of the non-major bowl games? My hs would outdraw them!!! The only games that draw well outside of the BCS are the Cotton, Cap One, Outback, Holiday, Peach and maybe Alamo. they are all nothing but a 3.5 hour promo for the city's tourist bureau (I'm waiting for KNTO to get a Korea Sparkling Bowl approved). heck if you dont make the playoff you can still play in loser.com bowl

3) not enough money
BS!!!! I bet one of the networks would shell out more than all of the bowls combined per year. CBS pays like what 500mill/year for March Madness.

rant over.

my thoughts for a 4 team playoff would be:
OSU-USC Rose Bowl
OU-LSU Sugar Bowl

winners play in New Orleans the 7th

Well, the bowls are set. LSU did get the nod. Vtech came in at third and was first in the computer ranking but got killed by the pollsters.

I foresee bad times for the Big Ten. OSU plays LSU in Lousianna (New Orleans), Illinois plays USC in California (Pasadena), Michigan plays Florida in Florida (Orlando) and we all know how well UM handles "mobile quarterbacks." Ouch.
