At least that's what he said last year! What a joke!

I agree # 1

Stoops suggested possibly an eight-team playoff that would involve seven BCS bowl games, with the championship game being rotated among those bowls. Or perhaps just rotating it among four BCS bowls.

Bump for me .. I've been saying that same thing for 3 years!

You're not suggesting that we leave the "formula" up to Bob Stoops, are you?

Bump for the Sooners--from a homeboy=-)

[Shermy]

Did you see the BCS show yesterday?

Each school had its head coach available for comments.

But not Oklahoma.

Ok didn't even have its OC or DC available. Only an "Assistant Defensive Coordinator".

I guess the others didn't want to show their faces.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I'm saying that on top of everything else, how embarassing is it for Sooner fans when their coach won't even go on national TV because HE HIMSELF stated just last year that a team that didn't win its own conference should be in the title game? The whole thing is a joke, even Bob Stoops knows it but he can't admit it, poor guy!

[Rummyfan]

Well, without question the USC song girls are Number 1! The Trojans got jobbed big time by the BCS!

[thoughtomator]

I'm impartial... from what I have seen though, LSU should be ranked #1, and the title game should be LSU-USC. After the way Oklahoma played against Kansas State, I don't see how they have any claim to be the national champion.

Stoops just works within the existing system, like everybody else. The system being screwy isn't his fault. (I'm not an OU fan, btw). You don't expect him to decline the Sugar Bowl bid, do you?

[Diddle E. Squat]

Excellent find. I am already sick of the barefoot Sooner apologists and their convoluted whining about how they deserve to still go the mythical championship game.

[SoCal Pubbie]

No, I don't and frankly I wouldn' expect Pete Carroll to decline
either if he had made those remarks and then the next year got an
invite. I'm just not afraid to say the emperor has no clothes, and I'm
tired of Okies trying to justify the shaft!

[squidly]

I'm tired of Okies trying to justify the shaft!

The only person who should have to justify something is Roy Kramer, for bringing us this messed up system. OU and their fans have nothing to apologize for.

[SoCal Pubbie]

You obviously don't frequent college football message boards.

[arkfreepdom]

I'd suggest USC concentrate on beating Michigan. If I was Michigan I know I'd be getting tired of all this we're the real NC's talk from USC. BTW, I believe USC has a split NC...'78 I believe

[squidly]

Actually I do (an Alabama board, anyway), and I've had this same argument there. OU fans may be out there trying to justify where their team is, but that's not necessary. The team is there anyway.

[squidly]

Yep, in '78 Alabama won the AP and USC the UPI (which was the coaches' poll in those days).

[SoCal Pubbie]

I'm sure they are, but I don't strap on the pads on Saturdays! Yes, they were split champs in 1978 (another screw job), and 1974. There have been many split champs over the years. I thought the BCS was created to eliminate split championships?

[Moosilauke]

Yep, kinda silly for a team that just lost the Big 12 championship to play for the national championship in it's next game.
