In case you haven't got a chance to look at the latest BCS polls yet, they got knocked up. With #2 Texas Tech going down hard to #5 Oklahoma, #3 Texas had a bye week, #1 Alabama won, #4 Florida won, and with 6 teams with 1 loss records, it's nearly impossible to put these teams in the right order. It's a total mess and I sincerely hope that the best teams some how get their rightful bowl games.
What's really screwed up is all this Big 12 south shenanigans. With Texas Tech beating Texas, Texas beating Oklahoma, and Oklahoma beating Texas Tech, theirs no possible way to decide which team is the better of the three. Well we have to do something, so according to the Big 12, the team that is the highest in the BCS polls will be the team that go's to the Big 12 Championship game. Well even though theirs one week left, Texas is the highest in the BCS out of the three, even though they idled this week.
Another thing that should be fixed, is The Pac-10 dilemma between USC and Oregon State. both with only one loss within the conference, USC's to Oregon State, and Oregon state's to Stanford in the first week of the season. USC has won the Pac-10 for the last who knows how long, and if Oregon State wins it, then it out a shut Pete Carol up about not getting a fair ranking. Oregon State still has one last conference game this weekend v.s. #19 Oregon, which is gonna test this Oregon State team to see if they're truly up to the rose bowl challenge. The way all of this is going to affect the BCS is that now, USC can't go to the Rose Bowl and have the ultimate home field advantage like they've had the last billion years in a row, which means that they will have to receive an "at large" bid to another bowl game that might test them a little more than usual.
One last thing that's bothering me about this weeks edition of the BCS polls is that Florida is still only #4 in the nation. Right now their are two teams in the SEC that haven't lost more than one game; Alabama, and Florida. Everyone should agree that if you go with only one loss in the SEC, then you most likely deserve to go to the title game, and if you go undefeated, their's NO QUESTION that you should go. Well many of you may have read my article a couple of weeks ago about how Bama doesn't deserve to be #1, and how Florida is going to go all the way in my opinion. Well these two teams are already set for the SEC championship game in Atlanta Georgia. These two teams are arguably the best two teams in the nation and one will have to pack it up a week from this Saturday.
All of this is setting up one of these two things. Either Oklahoma, Texas, or Texas Tech goes to win the Big 12 championship game and face either Florida or Alabama in the national championship game. Or, Alabama will lose to Auburn, Florida will lose to Florida state, and then beat Alabama in the SEC title game. Texas will lose to Texas A&M, Oklahoma will lose to Oklahoma State, and then Missouri will beat Texas Tech in the Big 12 championship game, and USC will face Utah in the national championship game. All of which is VERY possible.
