Lsu! Lsu! Lsu!

Well, Hawaii TRIED to schedule teams such as LSU by offering sums of money from 500k to 1mil just as a thank you to play them, but every really good program was too scared to take the offer. It's not their fault they play in an inferior conference, and it's not their fault that every program is afraid to play them. The only team with balls was Boise St. and Hawaii disposed of them even though they were ranked 19th in the country.
I don't think it should be Oklahoma really, but I do think Oklahoma is better, however, Georgia, V Tech and Kansas were all ahead of LSU, and somehow LSU gets the nod above them all?
Georgia didn't play, V Tech beat a VERY GOOD BC team 30-16 (ranked 12th), and Kansas didn't play, the only game they lost was to the #1 team in the country.
So I do not think LSU deserves it. V Tech was above them and beat a better team by a bigger margin than LSU for the last game of the season, so how in the world can you explain the leap frog of LSU on that? Also, how can you punish Georgia and Kansas for not playing? If you rank below those teams and they don't play, how can you pass them...especially when you almost lose to Tennessee?

I think they play in the same conference. But I see your point, it just doesn't feel right that you can go undefeated and not have a chance to compete for the national title. While I think the BCS did the best it could, this was the season more than any other I can remember in which a playoff was needed not just to satisfy the fans, but to truly determine the best team.

VT was ranking #1 by the computers =/

Yeah, I don't see how LSU is playing. At least VTs losses weren't by some unranked ARKANSAS! Triple overtime or not, that's inexcusable.

So you think it should have been Ohio State-Oklahoma? Fine, but I think LSU was more impressive based on the entire season, and certainly were at the very least, deserving.

I don't see how you can say that after losing to an unranked team and another lowly ranked team.

While Mizzou has 2 losses, how does Kansas play over them in a BCS Bowl, when Mizzou disposed of them 2 weeks ago? They lost to a tough Oklahoma team, and have better rankings all around, yet Kansas with 1 loss goes forth.

As far as Hawaii goes, I've always been under the impression that no matter who you are, an undefeated team should be fighting for a championship. And while the Sugar Bowl is a decent consolation, if they do beat Georgia, the debate will rage on about mid-majors. However, their strength of schedule is 118 of 120 D I-A schools...and yes, Boise State is in their conference.

LSU/Ohio State should be a decent game, but until there is a playoff, there will be no fair way to figure out who is the true champion.

Honestly, I think just about anyone in the top ten would be competitive playing in the championship game.

Yeah, I don't see how LSU is playing. At least VTs losses weren't by some unranked ARKANSAS! Triple overtime or not, that's inexcusable.


LSU beat Virginia Tech 48-7 you cant ignore that

Bleh, you're just saying what they said on TV.

Sure you can't, but you also can't ignore a loss to an unranked team. While VT shouldn't be playing for it, neither should LSU.

Particularly when there are one loss teams AND an undefeated team who WON'T be playing in it.

whats crazy is how kansas can be in the orange bowl with the 109th weakest schedule or something like that...they beat 1 ranked team, #24 kansas state...mizzou got screwed

I would tend to agree. I think the championship should be OSU versus Georgia.
