College football news put it perfectly. The BCS worked

[bbk]

I think the BCS actually worked somewhat even though I think Auburn should be playing in the NC game. I will be taking OU + the points.
This is an article from college football news. I think they hit the nail on the head,

The BCS actually worked ... to a point
Please people it?s called a television. Learn how to use it.

California might have one of the nation's most complete offensive teams, but it beat a whole bunch of no one. As predicted, everyone conveniently dismissed the 28-27 should?ve-been loss to an Oregon team that?ll sit home for the bowl season. Most were too busy watching the SEC and Big XII title games to see Cal struggle until late to put away a mediocre Southern Miss team. What?s Cal?s claim to fame? Losing to USC in gallant fashion. That?s fine, but that was still a loss.

For some reason, USC couldn?t do anything wrong in the eyes of the pollsters. Auburn has been blasted for a ?poor? performance against Tennessee despite outgaining the Vols 559 yards to 297 and 31 first downs to nine. (A couple of great Gerald Riggs Jr. runs appeared to have erased everyone?s ability to comprehend how good a team is.) But USC had even bigger problems with a UCLA team that?s worse than Tennessee. Everyone swept it under the rug.

As predicted, everyone has conveniently dismissed USC?s 31-28 close shave to Stanford, fog bowl 28-20 performance against Oregon State (that the Beavers gacked away with early turnovers) and the 23-17 win over a slightly overrated Cal.

Only two teams came within single-digits of Auburn; LSU and Bama. Two teams came within single-digits of Oklahoma; Texas A&M and Oklahoma State and both are better than Stanford and Oregon State. The problem is that everyone?s brain melts when they consider the possibility that USC might not be the number one team in America. It?s O.K. to watch every game, and it?s more than O.K. to look back and review what happened this year. No one is saying USC and Cal aren't among the best teams in the country and no one's saying the Trojans shouldn't be playing for the national title, but the top Pac 10 teams got away with average performances other teams didn't ... until the final BCS tally. Texas was the second best team in the best division in America while Cal was the second best team in arguably, the fourth best conference in the country. USC in the Orange and Cal in the Holiday; that's an even balance

I have a feeling even if USC beats oklahoma they still won't DESERVE it in some peoples minds I hope USC beats the shit out of OU, I am so tired of this crap about how USC doesn't deserve to be in the NC game

Unfortunately the BCS is a sham that should be scraped as the public outcry over this should be quite loud that is if Aub wins their bowl game. Let's face the facts that Texas played much better competition throughout the year and to have just one loss in a rugged division as the Big 12 -South is quite a achievement. Cal on the other hand played a very weak out of conf schedule and although it is not their fault is a member of the 5th best conf in the country and the comparison of strength of schedule has Texas as having the 14th toughest while Cal comes in at 45. In the future teams from the Pac 10, Big East, Conf USA are going to either have to run the table or play a non-conf schedule that is in the top 20 to be a factor in the computer rankings due to the hits they take within their respective leagues from playing below average teams. If any team has a good right to bitch it is Lousiville, this team would give any team in the country a game and on a neutral field would knock off many of the top 10, but they are stuck playing in the Liberty Bowl against a over rated Boise squad that has not seen a team with the athletes and speed in the WAC that they will see when they match up against the Cards.

Well if your going talk about SOS Auburn is below both OU and USC and somehow this doesn't ever come into play when people talk about AU. I wonder why that is?

ET4646,

Well it's more than likely not brought up because your numbers are wrong! According to the NCAA's own website, Auburn has played the tenth toughest schedule is the country, Oklahoma the 20th toughest schedule and So Cal the 28th.
