On what planet does the BCS make any sense? I hate the freaking thing and it screws with the foundation of sport.
Since Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech tied at 7-1 in the Big XII South Division, they go to tiebreakers. Since Texas lost to Tech, Tech lost to Oklahoma and Oklahoma lost to Texas, the tiebreaker falls to who is the highest ranked BCS team. So voters and some computers decided that Oklahoma was.

Oklahoma leaped over Texas in the latest BCS standings.
How? Texas beat Oklahoma in a neutral site game. Texas' lone loss was at Tech on the last play of the game. Sure, the Sooners blasted Tech a few weeks later ... in Oklahoma, I might add ... but isn't Texas the better team because, ya know, they actually beat Oklahoma???

Texas could expect to get screwed again. Say Oklahoma wins over Missouri in the Big XII title game and earns one of the title game spots. Now, suppose that #4 Florida beats #1 Alabama in the SEC title game. You know Florida will leap over Texas to earn the right to play Oklahoma in the title game.
That's right: Texas keeps winning and teams keep jumping over them.
And Florida's one loss was to Ole Miss ... at home!!!! I think the Big XII South was much more difficult than the SEC East. So how does Florida get to jump Texas?

Why even have the BCS rankings? Why not just have all the voters pick the two teams they want to see play for the championship? Then add in the computers' top two ranked teams.
In the history of the BCS, I have never seen a season end where we were like "thank goodness for the BCS!" I almost liked it the old way when bowls just picked up teams and then we crown a champion after the bowls.
Of how about doing what everyone else does: PLAYOFFS!!!!!
Oh my God! How exciting would a college playoff be this year with Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Florida, Alabama and USC???
