LOL!

I think the only thing that makes sense is an eight team playoff. Until then, there will always be controversy.

BCS ain't about finding the best football team, it's about making money.

Yup that sums it all up... as long as they are making a killing they could care less about the controversy. What would be really funny is to watch OU beat Mizzou and then Florida beat Bama and watch OU and Texas stay 1 and 2... I know that's a long shot, but what if lol... I mean Florida is way behind Texas in the computer rankings and even beating bama won't fix that completely... so what if the voters don't vote Florida up to #2?

This could be more controversy....

On a side note I blame the Big 12 for the controversy this season. If there are two teams that are so close in rank and talent that there is no clear winner... it shouldn't come down to the BCS ranking... they should have a playoff game for those teams to prove it on the field. I know UT already beat OU, but it seems the only way to end that discussion would be for one final game for all the marbles. And no TT shouldn't be in that playoff, they barely beat Texas and got owned by OU, so they deserve their BCS rank.

If Florida beats Alabama and Oklahoma beats Mizzou, Florida would need to be first in both the coaches and Harris poll to jump Texas.

I hate the Gators with all of my being and even with that I would think they got robbed if they beat Alabama and don't get in the game.

All I know, there will be some very deserving teams not playing in Miami this year.

Yup... that is about how I saw the breakdown as well... unless the polls really help Florida get up there... they won't make it to #1 or #2... Texas is too high in the computers and polls... and OU beating the crap out of Mizzou should only help Texas' strength of schedule since they are the only team to beat OU...

While I would love to see Texas play OU in the big dance... that would be a huge ripoff for Florida to be a 1 loss team, win the SEC and still not get to go...

If Texas does play for the NC, their resume is impressive. They beat the #1 ranked BCS team and their only loss came against a top-ten team on the last play of the game made by the best receiver in college football.

Yup... that was their argument... but several teams can say that... OU only lost to a very good Texas team and has dominated everyone else... Florida has only had that minor blemish and then came to life after ward... Bama has been good all season and only has one more game to be undefeated... so its a tough crowd for sure... lots of argument for the playoff system, but it won't happen....
