The BCS and the National Championship
This archived discussion is "read only".
» Chuck - What Now? Texas A&M pulled a double overtime shocker, stunning K-State 36-33 in the Big 12 Conference championship game.Edgerrin James scored with 50 seconds left to give Miami a wild 49-45 upset over the third-ranked Bruins, thus ending UCLA's bid for a national championship. So what happens if Tennessee loses tonight? Who goes to the National Championship? Common sense would say FSU and Ohio State would move up. But of the five teams (including Tenn., UCLA, and K-State), only the Wildcats' loss came against a Top 10 team. Shouldn't they be considered? What about Tennessee? Even if they lose (they currently lead at the half), would the BCS bump them down far enough? The BCS would be left with a plethora of 10-1 teams, all who COULD make good representatives in a title game, and one undefeated team -- Tulane -- who the experts have snubbed since day one. Traditionally, if there is only one undefeated team, aren't they usually No. 1. Who do you think the should play in the Fiesta Bowl? -- posted by Chuck
