The BCS is Simple

or not. Shit done got interesting yesterday, so I'm gonna do a quick Sunday post. It started so simple. Missouri and West Virginia win and they're in the championship. Instead, this is whats left of the BCS computers:



For the second week in a row, both the #1 and #2 teams were upset. The curse of the #2 continued as West Virginia, who was favored by 4 touchdowns, was upset by unranked Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl. And that is just the beginning. Here's where we're at right now:

#1 and #2 lost. #3, #4, #5 didn't play. #6 beat #11 by two touchdowns. #7 survived a scare from #14. #8 won. #9 beat #1 and won the Big 12. #10 didn't play and #11 lost. #12 won and is undefeated. Ohio State(#3) and Kansas(#5) have one loss. Missouri(#1), West Virginia(#2), Georgia(#4), Virginia Tech(#6), LSU(#7), USC(#8), and Oklahoma(#9) all have two losses. Both of Missouri's losses came from Oklahoma. West Virginia lost to unranked Pittsburgh and South Florida. Ohio State lost to unranked Illinois. Georgia lost to unranked South Carolina and Tennessee. Kansas only lost to Missouri. Virginia Tech lost to LSU and Boston College. LSU lost to unranked Kentucky and unranked Arkansas. USC lost to unranked Stanford and Oregon. Oklahoma lost to unranked Colorado and unranked Texas Tech.

It seems pretty simple to me. I guess I just don't see the problem. Wait...you can only pick two teams to play for the national championship? Ffffuuuuuucccckkkk...good luck man.

Every team in the top 9 has a legitimate claim to the title game(and you have to throw #12 Hawai'i in there too). I don't see how #3 OSU doesn't get in because of their popularity, but they will probably lose. I think LSU is the best team, but two losses to unranked teams could hurt them, but both games were triple-overtime thrillers and LSU plays in the very tough SEC. Virginia Tech plays in the weak ACC, but both their losses came against opponents who were ranked #2 and they avenged one of them by beating #11 Boston College yesterday. Virginia Tech could also get some sympathy votes in the human polls because of the shooting tragedy there earlier this year.

I'd like to see a LSU/Virginia Tech title game, but I'd be surprised if we don't see a OSU/LSU matchup, with LSU winning by at least 17. You heard it here first.
