1. Shoulda coulda been
USC and LSU

Oklahoma is a super team, but blew it. They need to stomp LSU to regain their hard-won respect.

7. No way! It should have been OU / USC, just wait to LSU collapses
LSU is totally overrated and the Sooners are about to prove it. I really wanted to see OU / USC, that would have been a great game. Instead we'll get to see two relative blow outs by the higher ranked team. LSU is toast, they just don't realize it yet.

11. BCS
OU shouldn't be in the Sugar Bowl. The BCS should re-write the rules that if a team can't win its conference and/or its conference championship game they are automatically disqualified from playing for the national championship.

12. Okay..LSU is overrated..
..the same team that destroyed most of their SEC opponents, including a championship game in Georgia's home turf. You don't watch a lot of football, do you?

At least OU lost to a BCS bowl team, too bad LSU can't say the same.

3. Not a Trojans fan usually, but I'm ABF
Anybody but (any team from) Florida! And any Pac 10 team over any other conference. USC earned the championship this year, and as far as I'm concerned, they own it. Fuck what the ridiculously east coast biased polls will say tomorrow.

8. no bias
there isnt a east coast bias in the polls. if there was the coaches and the AP polls coming into today wouldnt have shown USC as the number one team. the BCS is screwed up, the computers are always making mistakes in chosing the number one team.

but florida often wins or is a favorite for the national championships because miami and florida are football powerhouses. they cant produce a nfl qb for shit but they know how to win college games, most years.


but since the coaches poll is required by contract to support the BCS computer UCS is almost guaranteed not to win the BCS championship.

peace

4. Yup, it's now official--USC was screwed royally
Wonder if thi will change anything!

If either OU or LSU wins, but doesn't look so hot while doing so, do you think the Coaches will break the rules and go for USC also????????

14. They can't.
The winner of the BCS game automatically gets the BCS trophy.

9. as far as I'm concerned
USC won the National Championship tonight., they totally beat the shit out of Michigan, that 28-14 score wasn't even THAT close. So the pundits can take their BS system and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!

actually, I wanted USC to really whip on Michigan, like 48-10 or something...
