And now the polls are out, two teams who have had a cakewalk are still in the top 8 - Penn State and USC.
Penn State has the Big Ten pushovers. I say this, being partial to this conference, growing up in the Midwest. The Big Ten is a very poor conference this year, as it is most years.
Then, there is USC, the best California college football team money can buy. They play in one of the weakest conferences in the country. And, they still can't run the table there.
If USC or Penn State were in the SEC or Big 12, they would both have at least two losses, and maybe three.
Friggin' media voters don't care who is best, only who they feel will make their alma matter look better.
Seems the BCS wants to put the Big Ten winner and the Pac-10 winner in a championship game and make one of them the national champ. In most years, neither of those conference winners could make it through the SEC championship game, yet they end up with a national title.
I am surprised they have Utah and BSU as high as they do. Those teams never get any respect from the media, so I guess they will have to go to a BCS game, thrash one of the royalty teams, and still end up third in the final polls.
When is D-I football gonna get their head out of the sand and start a playoff system? The bowls are rigged for padding the odds to this conference or that conference, and to bring in gross sums of money to the sponsoring conferences.
I hope USC and PSU get in a BCS bowl game and get their a$$es handed to them.
Whew, I feel better now.
