This is freaking nuts
I mean come on this season has been freaking crazy. When have we ever seen so many 1's and 2's lose week in and week out? I don't think anyone would have called this pitt/wv game.
assuming Missouri doesn't come back, it should be VA Tech and UGA in the championship game (although Kansas has a strong arguement) but we know that won't happen as the tv planners won't allow it.

Georgia? Kansas? We're down to teams that cant even win their conference in the discussion to win a national title?

IMO LSU-USC would be the best game.

No way will it be anything more than a 13th game.
Calling it a National Championship is  Play the bowls, no one more important than another, look at the final season records, scores and schedules (Ohio St and Kansas won't like the latter) and vote. Ohio State is in, but no more deserving than Georgia, LSU, and USC.

But anyways... I'm going to be a tad biased here but I'll give my input here....
Ohio State - Lost to Illinois - Key Wins - @ Washington, @ Purdue, @ Penn St, @ Michigan Oklahoma - Lost to Colorado, Texas Tech - Key Wins - @ Texas, Missouri X2 USC - Lost to Stanford, Oregon - Key Wins - @ Nebraska, @ Washington - @ Cal, @ Arizona State Georgia - Lost to South Carolina, Tennessee - Key Wins - @ Alabama, Flordia, Auburn, Kentucky Virginia Tech - Lost to LSU, Boston College - Key Wins - @ Clemson, @ Virginia, @ Boston College Kansas - Lost to Missouri - Key Wins - @ Kansas State, Missouri - Lost to Oklahoma X 2 - Key Wins - @ Illinois, Texas Tech, @ Kansas State, @ Kansas West Virginia - Lost to South Florida, Pittsburgh - Key Wins - @ Rutgers, @ Cincinnati, Connecticut LSU - Lost to Kentucky, Arkansas - Key Wins - Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Florida, Auburn, @ Alabama, Tennessee Flordia - Lost to Auburn, LSU, Georgia - Key Wins - Tennessee, @ Kentucky ------- So lets read into this... LSU should be in hands down... both their losses are from 3OT games.. They beat 6 ranked teams this year... They lost @ Kentucky and with McFadden running the ball.... So, you have 1 team... Who is number 2? Oklahoma - They lost to 2 unranked teams this year... Beat # 1 team in the last week of the season. IMO - The win against Missouri doesn't do enough to justify the 2 losses. USC - Lost to a horrible Stanford team. And a ranked Oregon team... - THey are playing extreamly well... Georgia - They didn't even win the SEC, are they that good? Wins against Alabama, Flordia, Auburn and Kentucky help, but they were all at home but the Bama win. V. Tech - Lost to the best team in the nation and a good BC team - They turned around beat BC later in the year kinda evens stuff out. Kansas - Weak Schdule, and only beat 1 decent team in K. State. Missouri - Lost to Oklahoma two times, had big wins at Illinois and Kansas. W. Va - Horrible loss against Pitt and S. Flordia. Decent wins at Rutgers and Cincinnati. Ohio State - Lost to Illnois - had 4 key wins on the road... LSU will/should play USC....

LSU I can buy, USC no way they shouldn't get anything but a possible rose bowl. If LSU is going to be rewarded for their 2 losses then they better wind up playing VA Tech.

I can see Va. Tech... But I can see USC, Oklahoma taking the bid also... I'd love the Buckeyes to play USC at the Rose Bowl or for the National Champ game... Guess we'll find out tomorrow...

If this season doesn't have them SERIOUSLY thinking playoff....and NOT the 'plus 1' thing they've talked about...no season will....
7 #2 teams have lost to unranked teams this year?! Bizarre enough in itself. Who WILL play? Well....if you took the top 2 1 loss teams it'd be Ohio State and Kansas. If you went by current BCS standings it'd be Ohio State Georgia. If the computers see VaTech's win yesterday as enough it could vault them in there. If they put LSU in there, they basically say their computers have been wrong because, from where they are right now, no way they should jump to #2. And yes, if you went with the undefeateds it'd be Hawaii vs UNI. Now our deltamaster might enjoy that....but it ain't gonna happen. If you went with who many believe ARE the top 2 teams, it'd be LSU vs USC. I know many of you don't have USC up there but how many of you realize that their loss to Stanford also involved a few key players being injured/unavailable. And now their loss to Oregon hurts them even more because of how the Ducks' season has turned out (which is another bogus part of the system....why should YOUR season get dinged just because someone else's season tanks AFTER you play them?!) ........it's a mess......
