I'm sure Clemson and Louisville would lose to six SEC teams too.
Texas A&M lost to two at home

it is a simple formula, one VS two and rankings determine that. there is no stipulations about why a team loses and sad as that coach dying he/she did not coach the team. Whether the media propped up ND or not they were the number one team and Bama was two. All rules have been followed.

Oregon and Ohio State
Oregon would have thrashed Ohio State to about the same tune that Bama did Notre Dame. Probably should have been Oregon and Bama. That would have been epic...like pitting a Black Mamba against a Python.

so the best teams in cfb are not decided by rankings in the bcs? and you call me retarded. Again you are too angry

When you're picking between three teams with similar credentials, what's the deciding factor between the three? Last year it was the "eye-ball" test.
It came down to people peddling the idea that Bama was just "better" than Stanford and OSU. It had very little to do with overall body of work because if people examined resumes, Bama's was clearly inferior to OSU's and Stanford's. Notre Dame was playing in the national title SOLELY due to body of work.
This is the reason college football under the current system blows.

So, under your theory, every team ranked higher than another team in the BCS rankings is "better" than every team ranked lower than that team?

I'm sure that has something to do with your thread. Not sure what that might be though.

It's as relevant as you bringing up Louisville and Clemson.

I just find it odd that the "eye-ball" test was employed so heavily last year when it was painfully obvious that if the eye ball test had been employed this, Notre Dame would have been in the Independence Bowl.
Eyeball test was between two 1-loss teams. If OSU wins them all, they are in. No eyeball test needed.
This isn't hard.

Because ND was completely outplayed and outclassed like Bama's previous BCSCG victim?

I hate the 4 team playoff. Simply beacuse it's going to put WAAAAAY too much importance in the bullshite preseason rankings. A top 1 or 2 team to start the season has a free loss in their back pocket. If it's gonna work they have to get a team that loses the frick out...at least until they prove that they are really a top 4 team. Alabama will most likely benefit from this but it's gonna be fricked up if a #1 team loses and only drops to 4th. Teams on the outside will have NO shot to get in.

They got in wrong in that they in no way deserved to be in that game based on merit as that honor should have been bestowed upon Big 12 Champ Oklahoma State. I guess it sucks to lose to an unranked Iowa State on a Thursday night after your women's bball coach dies in a plane crash
This is gold. Thanks for the memories.
This had absolutely nothing to do with OSU's performance. Hell, they were up by 17 before blowing it. When will you people move on?

I hope in the long run it settles on 8 teams.

Why didn't Hawaii play in the national title game during the 2007 season then? They were undefeated. Neither LSU nor OSU were undefeated.

No playoff, no champion.

This is such a crock of shite arguement. The regular season did count, especially OSU's game versus unranked ISU.

1. Yes you are right, it sucks to lose to an unranked Iowa State on a Thursday night, WHICH happens to be the next to the last week of the regular season.
2. Unranked is the key word here
3. Okie St. was ahead 24-7 in the third quarter, so I'm not buying the plane crash being a contributing factor because...
4. Okie St. turned the ball over, committed numerous penalties and made uncharacteristic mistakes which led to the OT loss.

Perhaps it shouldn't be as meaningful as we make it out to be. Georgia was better than Notre Dame. A&M was, too. But because of the importance placed on the regular season (and on conference alignment) we got Notre Dame almost entirely because of their undefeated status.

Well notre dame would probably beat both. Whereas powerhouses LSU and UF could not.
