If Missouri loses.

The screams for a playoff system yet again will be heard.
Ohio State sits at home watching the top teams get beat.
If you dont play, ya cant lose. (Even though I think Ohio st. belongs in the BCS championship.) But you got Georgia, not even playing in their conf. championship, not even winning their conf., with a chance at the National Championship?

This should be a riot.

Personally, I would like to see Ohio State against USC.

This is great. Georgia is looking very good to make the title game. Just like Nebraska some years ago when the made the title game without even winning their conference tournament. Maybe these conferences will stop having conference championship games since they are absolutely worthless and sometimes end up hurting more than helping. Ask Missouri. I know they won't ever stop them because of how much revenue they bring it but it's funny that they have them and a team like LSU can win it and Georgia can sit home and make it to the title game. If this year isn't the biggest argument for a playoff, I don't think there ever will be one. Georgia not only didn't win their conference title........they didn't even win their DIVISION in their conference.

That would be great.
Then teams could wait 2 1/2 months for the championship game.

Man all these crappy bowls would really flourish. Bowl eligible with 3 wins.
Somehow they got to get all these Bowl comittees and college presidents together for some sort of playoff. This vestigial relic bowl system wont go away just like a tailbone. All it does is hurt when the wrong things happen.

Maybe in my lifetime.

If HAWAII wins tonite,they gotta be given a shot.If LSU had just 1 loss, then I would say LSU versus OHIO State.Unforgiveable to lose to Arkansas.LSU coach is going insane anyways.

I realize they don't play much but how can you not give the BCS honors to the only quality undefeated team in the country...

I hope Georgia goes and defeats OSU so I can say..the SEC is so tough, even the national champs couldn't win the SEC title...hell, the national champs couldn't even win their own division in the SEC title quest.

Bottom line. This year's champ will not be a very good team. Every team out there has glaring holes and bad losses on their records.

I think it is sad that a team like Kansas can beat up on cupcakes and go to a BCS bowl game.

Illinois went to The Ohio St and beat them.

they are on the cusp. Illinois isn't too far fetched. Time to redeem the UCLA Rose bowl debacle

Missouri beat Illinois.
Back to square one.
Its a mess.

It should go something like this:
Regular season BCS used to determine 8 teams in the playoff (yes the moaning for the 8th spot will be heard).
The regular season should count; the playoffs determine who
the best team is at the end of the season. Its like this in almost
every other sport.

But its not gonna happen... and its sad.

There's never been more of an evident season then in 2007, that screams for this BS system to be tossed, and a playoff system to be put in place! Only then, can a true national champion be crowned!

This is the greatest day in sports history!! I think Oklahoma and USC are the two best teams right now. (you were right cannon...USC could beat the combined Mo/Ks team by 20 and probably the Mo team solo by 35!). I think the major lesson in this season is you need a good backup qb. Both of W Va losses came with Pat White missing more than half the game and Oklahoma isn't playing for the title because Bradford basically missed the whole game against Texas Tech. For that reason alone put Hawaii in. Granted it was only Nevada they beat but they did it with their backup playing the whole game.

Despite being sort of an OSU fan I don't think the sweater vest should be there for some reason. They're a guarantee however.

I think all these teams have legitimate claim to the title game...Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, USC, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Hawaii. I think Oklahoma will jump lots of teams after tonight...just a feeling.

I just don't see how LSU can jump over VTech. Granted they lost to LSU in the 2nd game of the season, but that game was at LSU. VTech has lost 2 games this year and both were to the #2 ranked team in the country at the time of the loss. LSU lost two games to two unranked teams and 1 of them was at home. In addition, LSU just lost last week and you cannot lose games this late in the season and go to the championship game.

Back where they belong, on top. Maybe Ohio State can play their red squad against the grey squad for the Nat'l Championship
