okay, so from what I gather these are the facts.....

okay, so from what I gather these are the facts.....

THE WINNER OF THE SUGAR BOWL/BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WILL BE DEEMED "THE BCS NATIONAL CHAMPION" BECAUSE OF THE BCS AGREEMENT. THAT TEAM WILL BE #1 IN THE COACHES' POLL DUE TO SAID AGREEMENT.

The loser of the Sugar Bowl will finish no higher than #3 for the year in both the AP & Coaches' polls (given that both #4 Michigan and #5 Texas lost convincingly in their respective bowl bames).

Depending on if, and how, Ohio State or Tennessee (#5 and #6 in the polls) win their bowl games, there is a small possibility that the loser of the Sugar Bowl with drop to #4 as a result.


Oklahoma stands to drop the furthest should they lose, and either Ohio St. or Tennessee wins, because they are currently #3.


USC, HAVING WON THE ROSE BOWL, WILL FINISH #1 IN THE AP POLL . THE TROJANS WILL BE #2 IN THE COACHES' POLL DUE TO THE BCS AGREEMENT.

I'll send you a picture of USC NC trophy in Heritage Hall

Since the BCS started, the winner has recieved 2 trophies, this year their are 2 trophies, but they are going to 2different deserving teams.

Everyone can have their own opinions and i respect that.

FIGHT ON!!!!!!!!

When the College officials SCRAP the BCS system, and adopt another "system", weather it be nothing, or a playoff system, or a new "computer system", will the teams holding the BCS trophies NOT be recognized as the "Champion" of that year that it was won??

Everyone wants to discredit the "Poll Championships". These were the only way to win a championship until a few years ago. Does this mean that they are discredited now that we have the BCS? I don't think so. Will the BCS championships be discredited once the BCS is gone?? Probably not.

Howvever, since the BCS DEPENDS on the AP Poll writers for the input to feed their computers, it is ludacris to say that USC is not deserving of a share of the title.

If the AP poll wasn't in INTEGRAL part of the BCS equation, then I would say that USC DIDN"T have a right to share the title, but......................it is, so, THEY DO!!!

Congrats to USC!!

The rules & system were in place. The rules clearly pointed out the #1 vs #2 teams in the "BCS Standings" would play for the national title. All the conferences that make up the BCS agreed to this in advance & can't have it another way until this system is scrapped period.
