***It looked pretty good last year, didn’t it?***
Not really. OU seems to enjoy an annual BCS meltdown. Let the WAC Smurfs play one of the other teams last year and you would have had another UGA v. Hawaii.
Bottom line: actually play a schedule if you want serious consideration and respect.
***Those who are advocating the elimination of the two-team rule aren’t clearly thinking through the results.***
The selection is suppose to be about BCS placement, not the name of the school. That is why Hawaii got invited when they had no business in a BCS bowl. Mizzou, ranked 6th (if I remember) before the bowl selection was NOT invited when they should have been. Let Hawaii or Ill go to a different bowl. Mizzou’s only crime: 2 losses to the SAME team. Obviously, they didn’t match well against OU, but they handed Kansas a spanking who did go and were ranked lower in the final poll.
But it's not about that--it's about filling seats for the bowls. Remember, the individual bowls select the participants, and they select who they think will be the best team for their individual bowl. You are confused in thinking that the BCS is designed to create attractive bowl matchups. It's not. That's not what it's there for--it's supposed to create a good national title game. That's it. The rest of the bowls are on their own.
