Its a shame this system is so bad that WVU is going to play for a national championship. Im not saying they arent a good team but they are not one of the best two teams in the country.

You're wrong about the Auburn-WV game I believe, or the local paper was wrong... Read an article about us having the first ever Away,Away games in Auburn history. We play in Morgantown back to back years.
Let me know if that's what the word is up there

The first game was originally scheduled to be played at Auburn with the next in Morgantown.. Auburn requested that the first be played in Morgantown and the following year at Auburn because of a scheduling conflict. I wish it was an away/away for you guys
I know Pat White was disappointed because of the switch...he wanted to play in his home state.
From CBS Sportsline:
The city expected a far different kind of night. Before the game one exceptionally classless West Virginia fan hit the Pittsburgh team bus with a rock, but WVU fans as a whole are not known for their gentility. Because of the tendency to celebrate big victories by burning couches, garbage or whatever else they can find lying around, the city fire department had doubled its normal workload and police were planning to infiltrate known hotspots with under-cover patrols. Trash bins all over town were emptied earlier Saturday to take away potential bonfire materials.
Nothing in the preceding paragraph was a joke. But West Virginia is. It has to be. The Mountaineers were four-touchdown favorites. They were at home. They were playing Pittsburgh, their most heated rival. This was the 100th edition of the Backyard Brawl. What would have been the greatest victory in team history instead became the most shocking loss.
Rodriguez didn't bother putting on a brave face, either. He looked devastated, as well he should. Unless he wins a national championship -- and wins it at West Virginia, not at any of the schools that might one day try to pry him away from his alma mater -- this loss will be his legacy.
"Obviously I'm shocked we didn't play better," he said. "We weren't looking above and beyond."
Oh, really? Even the West Virginia marching band was looking ahead. At halftime the WVU band titillated the crowd by spelling out BCS for its grand finale. As the band strutted off the field, compressing into four tightly packed rows near the bleachers, the letters "BCS" melted away into nothing.
