Should Bcs Stand For Bull Crap System?

As of right now (11/25/06) 12:32 AM EST this is how the BCS Standings look:
1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. USC
4. Florida
5. Notre Dame
My question is this. Why in the world is USC ranked 3rd in the BCS? And techincally they are ahead of Michigan in 2 of 3 polls that average in their BCS avg. USC looses to Oregon State, a non ranked conference opponent. Im glad Michigan is #2 because a Ohio State/Michigan rematch would be great. But why isnt Notre Dame or Florida higher up than USC? Florida lost to Auburn who was a highly ranked team at the time. Notre Dame only lost to Michigan who is the #2 team in the nation. Does anyone else feel there is a problem with the BCS? Ive heard the constant talk about an 8 team tournament, but would that really solve it and find a true national champion?

    New ranks out Sunday. USC wins big and passes Mich. for #2.

    I totally agree with your logic. I can’t wait for a playoff system! I don’t know too much about football… but the general consensus at UF (I’m a student) is that the voting system sucks (well… we might just be biased this year… but whatever, haha). Michigan has lost to Ohio State. The title game is for the best team in the nation. How can Michigan be the National Champion if they have already lost to OSU, in the last games of their seasons?!! A rematch makes no sense. If we still go by a voting system and then in the end have an 8 team tournament, I say that that’s not perfect, but it sure is much better than letting #1 and #2 be chosen by a vote. Sorry I didn’t add much insight to this issue but just letting you know what’s up down here at UF =)

    Makes sense, do you want USC ranked #2, then Shut Up.

    It all depends on who they beat, Notre dame, merely got past Michigan State, an Unranked opponent, USC beat Nebraska, Cal, Oregon, and Arkansas all ranked. Notre Dame only beat Penn State. Florida beat LSU, and Tennessee. Michigan had an easy schedule. I like the BCS, if people were doing it, maybe it would be Bias. I think the rankings should be:
    1. Ohio State
    2. Florida
    3. USC
    4. Michigan
    5. Arkansas
    6. Notre Dame

    Personally, I like the BCS system, but every year, there is something wrong. I would love to see a playoff system implemented, but until then, the BCS is okay. Every time they try to fix it, something else happens and it has to be tweaked again.
    Right now, everything is fine. Ohio St. is the best team in the nation right now, and USC should be number two. The only team that has any chance of playing for a national title outside of Michigan and USC is Florida, but they would have to pound FSU and pound Arkansas. If, and this is a huge if, Notre Dame beats USC, and Florida beats Florida St. and Arkansas both by at least 30 points, then maybe they can sneak in. Outside of that, it’s between the Trojans and Wolverines. As a Buckeye fan, I’m actually rooting for USC, because Michigan almost won the first meeting, and I don’t know if I could live through a rematch.

    Here is the problem with the playoff system. It takes away a huge part of what makes college football great. For example: The Mich-OSU game would have been greatly diminished if both teams knew they were already a playoff lock. Same thing for ND-USC. Would that game tomorrow be nearly as big if both of those teams were only playing for seeding? One of the great things about college football is that at the most, you can afford one loss, so fans hang on the edge of their seat each week seeing how long their team can stay undefeated. Lastly, I saw that someone on here said Mich had an easy schedule!? They played the #1 team-OSU, and handed two other teams, #6 ND, and Wisc, their only losses of the year. Not to mention that ND and OSU on the road. Please. If USC wins out, they will play the Bucks. If they stumble, it will indeed be a MICH-OSU Rematch. Sorry FLA, you have not impressed enough!
