Penn St beat Oregon St beat USC beat Penn St

LOL

The only undefeated team in the country cannot be named first. The agreement with the BCS prevents the final poll from naming another team to avoid having teams like USC claim to be national champions when they were not in the championship game as they have done in the past.

I’d give USC more credit than I do this year if I thought Penn ST was all that much to brag about. Penn St got where they were by beating up on other weak Big 10 teams and by beating Oregon St - remember them?

Hook Em Horns!!

Great last drive. McCoy and Co. had a very hard time getting into sync this game. I credit Ohio for keeping them off balance. However, it is sweet that UT wins after that damn last second play in Lubbock. Otherwise UT would be #1. Not impressed with the Big 10 this year. I would loved to see a game between UT and Utah.

I wish we had a playoff system cuz the BCS stinks.

The Eyes of Texas are Upon You!!

In the BCS poll. The AP can name whoever it wants as number 1. And frankly, after Utah rolled Alabama, I'm really not sure how it doesn't deserve a share of the title.
