That is pretty much true of non-BCS teams too. Auburn (a southern team) went unbeaten last year and they still didn't get in. Penn State only lost once this year and they didn't get in.
Who said I was against a playoff? I never said that and no one else in this thread has either. My point has been that the BCS is the current system - like it or not. As long as it is the system agreed upon by the member schools, the winner of the BCS championship game is the national champion.
BTW, MikeInIraq is not a "southern boy" - he is an Ohio State fan.
