Default Re: Case for South Florida and Virginia over USC, Oregon and Oklahoma?

I just meant that, after explaining how the BCS works, even people who have no idea what football is have told me they think the system is terrible.

Your argument is great if you're only looking at W/L. Problem is, this is retarded because the teams they're beating ALSO play weak schedules, so their records don't prove anything. USC obviously has played like crap and doesn't deserve a high ranking, but they're also the most talented team in the country, and they play an extremely difficult schedule. If they run the table, they would, without question, have a serious argument as a NC contender. Same goes for LSU and Oklahoma (though OU doesn't really play anybody either).

It's just clear at this point that the only thing that matters is a loss. So if you're Ohio State, you just schedule OOC cakewalks like Kent State, scrape by against the Michigan States of the Big Ten, and your whole season comes down to one game. If you win, you make the NC...even though you'd lose 2-3 games in the SEC or Pac-10.
