I think Utah would have been a better match than Auburn.
They were the only team that might have given USC a decent game.
Obviously, the Sooners should not have been in this game and Auburn should have been. The sorry BCS system gets it wrong again. No one in the Big 12 can beat them, but everyone else can. Without Jason White, finally, next year, maybe the Big 12 can rid itself of this annual embarrassment. If they moved to the Philipines, they could be the Manilla Folders.
auburn scheduled 3 pansys to open the year. If they had played even 3 mediocre teams, they would be getting beat by USC instead of OU.
Problem is, if you schedule 3 competent teams early, you might actually get beat by one of them.
The other team that got hosed is undefeated Utah who walloped Pitt in their bowl game.
I too am tired of these blow out "championship" games that you wait all year to see and end up watching for one quarter because they are so one sided.
Excuse me, they did not open the year with 3 pansys. Their non conference schedule had 3 pansies Lousiana Monroe, The citadel, and louisiana tech.
They did beat those three by a combined score of 116-10, but that kind of scheduling is frowned upon by the computers and human voters.
A better question is: Why are NCAAF championships decided by voting (not unlike figure skating and gymnastics)?
They need a playoff system that incorporates the bowls in the worst way.
Duh.
My alma mater, University of Louisville, got screwed by the BCS. Okay, just wanted to get that out. Feel better now.
the BCS is fixed,they just pick 2 teams at random
Well OK does serve a purpose...
It sucks and keeps Texas from slipping off into the Gulf of Mexico.
