Besides the fact Texas is a better team. I think The BCS has got it right here. Texas has only struggled aginst Ohio state, USC can barely beat Arizona State.

And after we beat Notre Dame 6-0, we will prove to everyone that USC was overrated. (They only beat them by 3) :birgits_giggle:

BCS= the bigger the blowout, the higher the rank. Forget strength of schedule, etc.

Based on that criteria, it appears that Texas and USC are the TWO best in the USA. Let 'em settle it on the field. That's what we all really want to see, anyhow. Either one of them would murder Bama, Georgia, or VA Tech. I personally want to see that matchup. Hope USC stomps them. Mack Brown's an A-hole. Hope it takes him as long to win a NC as it did to beat the Sooners.

It doesn't matter who is ranked #1 or #2 as long as you are ranked in one of those two spots then u will be playing for a NC and then you can prove who is really #1.

this is the biggest pile of crap in sports history. yes texas is very good, but until someone beats usc, no one should even breathe on them in the polls. they have proved 27 straight times that they are number 1 and until someone scores more points they should get every first place vote their is.



I HATE THE BCS.....WHAT A CROC OF SH*T. WE ARE LETTING COMPUTERS TAKE OVER EVERYTHING.

why dont we just play out the seasons on computers and forget about real life.

I think you all might be missing the point. The purpose for the computers is to make the ranking - or at least a portion of them - objective and based on data. When the computers come up with a different ranking than the human polls (which are laughably based on little emperical information) everyone gets bent out of shape; as if that somehow PROVES the computers are wrong. Frankly, it should be helpful to cause people to look a little closer to see why there might be a discrepency.

Also, remember this very important point: the computers ONLY take into account what has actually occurred. It doesn't matter what USC did last year, how tough someone's upcoming schedule is, what coach loses big games, and on and on. Therefore, I would posit that the computers probably do AT LEAST as good a job as the human polls.

The bigger problem is that college football is organized poorly. There is no mechanism to settle any of this. The BCS is dumb, the proposed BCS + 1 is dumb, and so are all of the other playoff-dodging formats. This is the kind of garbage we talk about when the whole thing is subjective.

The BCS is working just the way they intended. We're all talking about college football right now.

How do you figure this? The BCS is a season-by season ranking, and in no way is or should be a rolling accumulation from year to year. USC isn't even the same TEAM as last year due to graduations and attrition. Last year don't cound; this year does. And, this year, Texas is showing itself as the better team through quality wins and strong performances.

It doesn't matter anyway. As long as USC and Texas win out they will be #1 and #2 and play for the NC. Who really cares who is #1 right now? :twocents:

When i was in college, I had to write a paper on something in this world i would change. I chose the BCS (I am not kiddin) 10 Pages on a playoff system complete with poster board displaying the brackets. Think i could send that in to NCAA and make a difference?

Texas in only ahead of USC by 0.0007 points in the overall BCS. Texas is #1 in almost all the computer rankings. However, the computers have been reduced to only 1/3 of the equation. The fact that the human element, making up 2/3 of the BCS equation, have moved Texas closer to USC in the Harris and Coaches polls is the reason that USC is no longer #1 in the BCS. You see, they factor in the total points of the human polls, not just the rank.

Texas has been slowly whittling away at the USC lead in the polls. Very slowly. This week, the Longhorns picked up another first place vote in each poll and gained one point on USC in the coaches' poll and three in the Harris poll.

Try not to get too riled up about this. This is about as good as it gets for Texas as long as the voters continue to love USC. Texas is coming up on the soft spot in their schedule, which will bring its computer numbers back to the pack.

The disappointment will come when the final BCS rankings have #2 .0007 points ahead of #3.
