    Auburn damn near lost to VT. VT dropped a TD, missed a 29 yd field goal, and went 0/2 recovering onside kicks. I would have liked to see how Utah would have done against one of the top three teams.

    The parity in this sport will do that. Hell, last year, Duke beat GT who beat Auburn who beat Wisconsin who beat Ohio State who beat Kansas State who beat Oklahoma. image

    Auburn/Utah would of been a great game, the way I look at it both of those teams proved nothing
    in their bowl games. I don't support a playoff system but the confrence alliances have to go. It
    seems however that the contracts are long term and we won't see that for a while. Its not like
    college football has to worry about going on strike or the fans not showing up. We will always be
    there.

    OU look really bad but they are slipping all over the place. Do you blame the shoes or the field
    guys, or maybe USC is that good?

    All I heard today on talk radio was how USC was just overmatched against OU.....I guess thats
    why they play the games?? Funny thing is if we did had a playoff system the second round would
    be Auburn or USC against Texas Tech....is that what we want?

    I flipped over to espn classic after it went 28-7. Saw a great fight, 1974 Ali vs Foreman. When boxing was a sport! Well I mean worth watching...

    << <i>Auburn damn near lost to VT. >>

    auburn has the #1 hardest defense to score on in the nation - and may have slacked up in the 4th to allow vt to make it closer than it really was, but they did what they had to do and won. also, remember that vt is a great team that only lost to usc and auburn (who will end up finishing #1 and #2 in the polls in the end) so beating them by any number is good. it sure seems like it is oklahoma that is not deserviing of being in the top 5.

    Auburn is better than VT, but Auburn's defense didn't force a 4th and goal drop nor a 29 yd field goal miss by VT. VT did that to themselves. Auburn will get what they deserve and that's the number 2 spot. Also VT lost 3 games - they lost 17-16 to NCST.

    I'd like to move Utah to #2 just to pith the college establishment off.

    It's the latter.

    USC showed tonight they really are the powerhouse that the polls have had them for 2 years....but the naysayers will continue to say 'they got lucky' blah blah blah.

    USC would have destroyed anyone who walked out on that field tonight...Auburn included.

    Congrats USC and all their fans for a second consecutive national championship...at least the BCS got it right this time.

    I agree but it should have been auburn in that game and not oklahoma. I hate stoops. he is such a freakin whiner. serves him right his team got killed.
  • dirtmonkeydirtmonkey Posts: 3,048 ✭✭

    Did they? USC is not that much better than every other team in the country. They should weakness at times this year like everyone. Did the BCS have it right with Oklahoma being second? Didn't look like it last night... Granted, the next 8 games between them could be a split but that was pathetic.

    And Auburn squeaking out a win over their opponent showed they were a worthy number 3?

    USC was clicking on every aspect of their game last night...it wouldn't have mattered who played them, the result would have been the same.
  • zsz70zsz70 Posts: 541 ✭
    Yeah,

    USC would have beat anyone last night, except maybe Cal.
    Then they would have needed a last second TD to win the game.

    But Cal did great in their bowl game anyway.

    It's still my opinion that USC, Oklahoma, and
    Auburn are the three best teams in the country this year.

    It's foolish to argue if Auburn would have beat USC.
    Or if UTAH would have beat Oklahoma.

    The schools start the season looking to win their
    conference (gather recruiting momentum), and hopefully
    CASH in on a BCS bowl game at the end of the year
    to bring big bucks to the university.

    If they are ranked 1, 2, or 3 doesn't change how much
    money they get. It only causes controversy with the fans who care
    about being #1. And the big bowl dollars will never bring a cure to that disease.

    If I had a vote, I would vote USC number 1.
    Even though I still feel the same way I felt three months ago that
    Auburn is the best team in the country. USC came up big when they
    had to. Auburn came up big, but instead of blowing VT out late in
    the game when ahead 16-0, they did the classy thing and just ran the ball with no pass attempts.
