Well, if its any consolation, if its USC-LSU announced tomorrow, I'll then start arguing that OU got ripped off, since I hate the BCS, and too often there is just no way to truly pick the 2 best teams with certainty. Its such a joke that there isn't a playoff.

What a wonderful outcome! The BCS is now officially dead and everybody knows it. Well, everybody except the metrosexual NCAA suits who get manicures, wear green eye shade, and take their wives on comfy bowl trips to warm weather sites.

Yeah. Like I said, I don't follow it closely, but I also think it gives me a a more impartial view. I suppose a playoff system would add 3 weeks to the season right? I suppose that is doable. If the season is lengthen by one week, and then OU, for example, doesn't need to play North Texas or University of Tulsa.

I think the best argument that can be made for a playoff was made by Kansas State tonight. Here is a team that suffers injuries to two of its top players (Sproles, Roberson) early in the season. Loses a game to Marshall while playing with inexperienced backup QBs. Loses two close, early conference games before putting it all together.

Fast-forward to the end of the season, where K-State rides a 6-game win streak into the Big 12 championship game. The Wildcats dominate a team that many had said might be the best ever in the sport to win the conference championship. And despite being conference champions they have absolutely no shot of being remotely considered for a national championship.

The conference championship should mean something, dammit!
