Lsu! Lsu! Lsu!

Well EQ -- the only people that Tech lost to were ranked #2 and #1 in the country respectively. The comps had them #1 for a reason. They've come a long way since the loss to LSU. LSU has gotten worse.

This is why college football blows. There's no closure. We can debate all day about who should go, and everyone has an argument. Without some sort of playoff system, it's impossible. Take the top 8 teams to a playoff. Thats two extra games. Keep the same ranking system, and if you aren't top 8, chances are you dont deserve a shot.

LSU is not a worse team they were just hurt. Boston College was undeserving of that ranking

Truth is though, Boston College was never that good this season. At the time they beat Va. Tech, they hadn't lost yet. Va. Tech was better though, I thought they proved that in that game, and they definately proved it in the ACC Championship.

But the point is that if you are arguing that LSU doesn't deserve it, you still will end up making an argument that will end up disqualifying pretty much any team that could play OSU. The computer average isn't a statistical formula that tries to find who played the best football, its an average of like 6-7 human polls.

The point is that the idea is to find the best 2 teams and have them play. That was accomplished this year. The goal is not to find the teams with the least "unimpressive losses" or crazy wins or whatever. It's supposed to be the two best teams.

If any of the other teams had been more impressive than the two that made it, then they should have gotten it. No one really was. I thought WVU was for awhile, but they not only didn't beat Pittsburgh, but basically lost to a Pitt team that didn't even play it's best game.
