Bowl and Poll Prediction Time--before today's polls come out!
USC is going to be number one in both.

LSU is going to be number two, and OU number three.

Does that mean that USC and LSU are going to the Sugar Bowl?

No, I think (and someone else predicted this earlier) it will be LSU vs OU. USC goes and whomps Michigan in the Rose, and takes the national championship in the AP poll. LSU beats OU, but not that convincingly, so we have a split championship.

Now the big question, will this f**ked up situation doom the BCS and we'll finally have a play-off system? Look, it will be obvious at that point USC got screwed, and if OU loses again, after being hailed as the greatest team ever, something's wrong with this system.

But I still say no, it won't change anything, because the powers that be are dead set against it, but it's pretty frickin' obvious there should be!

1. I agree.
There should be a playoff like all the other divisions. But too much $$ in the bowls. If it happens, it will take some time. I mean what would I do w/o my GMAC bowl??? I think it should be USC/LSU. Excuse the language but fuck OU!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm bias. :)
GO HUSKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Well, a playoff system will allow a team like that to either prove they've
got it, or that it was just because of a weak schedule.

Let's put this questions, doubts and assumptions to rest once and for all!

4. Would that this were the most pressing issue in the world today.
That said, I totally agree. The BCS is a piece of shit. It should be LSU vs USC for the championship.

5. Oh, but it is!!!!!!!!!
I'm not serious, but for some people it is.

I'm not a fan of any of the teams in contention, but it still irks me that they can't get it right!
