In the past, BCS has always stood for Bowl Championship Series, but it looks like this year the name will need to be changed to Bowl Chaos Series.  We won’t know until tonight, but Ohio State figures to move to the number 1 slot after two weeks of not losing while sitting on their couches.   Who deserves that other spot?

  • USC – Probably the best team in college football right now.   Their loses came to Oregon and Stanford while there quarterback was out.  It looks like there loss to Division 1-AA Stanford will cost them a spot in the title game.  I also think voters will want to see some new blood in the title game.
  • Oklahoma – Another great team, but has a loss to the lowly Colorado Buffaloes.  Also, was very close to losing to 3-9 Iowa State.  This team often looks like a national power, but when they are off, they are really off.
  • Virginia Tech – This team is not truly in consideration, despite both losses coming to the #2 team in the country at the time they played.   One of those losses is to LSU by over 40 points.
  • LSU – Both losses came in triple overtime to SEC teams.  Won the toughest conference in college football this year.   This team is probably the favorite out of the 2 loss teams.
  • Kansas – 11-1, but didn’t beat a ranked team the entire season and didn’t play for their own conference championship.
  • Georgia – Probably the hottest team in college football right now with 6 straight wins, but didn’t even play for the SEC championship this season.  With that said, the managed not to lose Saturday, which worked for Ohio State.

Overall, it looks like LSU is the most likely to make it to the championship game to play Ohio State.  I do not think Ohio State deserves to be there, but I also don’t think you can leave them out in this situation.

I think its funny that everyone was so worried about seeing a West Virginia vs. Missouri championship game, because neither team is a college football powerhouse.   Now it turns out that we will have two traditional powers in the title game.  I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same…….
