BCS troubles

Yesterday, USC made sure that the "playoffs or no playoffs" debate continued into the next college football season.

Today, Utah put an exclamation mark on that statement.

Of the top 8 teams in the BCS rankings, every team is a one loss team except for Utah.

As of the end of the Utah/Alabama game this evening, 3 of those one loss teams (Bama, Texas Tech and Penn St) had become 2 loss teams. By the end of Jan 8, at least one more team (Florida or Oklahoma) would be another 2 loss team. That leaves 3 one loss teams and an unbeaten team. 

WHY SHOULD THE WINNER OF THE FLORIDA/OKLAHOMA GAME BE CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPION?

USC has a good reason to gripe that they should be NC.

Texas, who will hand Ohio State a whoopin, will have a good reason to gripe they should be NC.

And Utah, who is 13-0 and beat the team that was ranked #1 as recently as the week before the last week of the regular season has every reason to gripe that they should be NCs.

Like Kyle Whittingham, the Head Coach for Utah said after the game, he knows who he is voting #1. If I were a voter, I would vote them #1 too. It really doesn't matter they have a softer schedule than the BCS leagues. What matters is that they got the job done. And then they went to Sugar Bowl and put the icing on the cake. They should be #1.

This debate has gone on since the inception of the BCS. In some years, the debate has had less heat, in other years, a lot more. This year, I am sure there is going to be super heated discussion after the NC game on Jan 8. The end to this debate is no where in sight. Or is it?
