Don't blame the game. Blame Missouri for not being able to beat OU in 2 tries last year. Who could argue that Missouri deserved to be in the title game? Even without the title game, OU was clearly the better of the 2 teams, if either should have been considered.

Never. No way this ever happens. The BCS powers that be won't allow it.

What % of hardcore college football fans will even watch a BYU game this year during the reg. season? (No ABC or ESPN or CBS broadcasts) |

Now the casual, or everything revolves around the SEC fans, most likely will not catch a BYU game.

An assumption is the accuracy of the computer models (and polls), so I would say yes the same exact team has the same likelihood to make it to top 12 BCS no matter if you are BCS or not.

I am beginning to think a shot at the national title may not be totally unrealistic. Check out this comment from ESPN:
"The top of this bunch is very legit. BYU has emerged as a very scary team. We knew the offense would be terrific, but the D has come though big-time, compiling consecutive shutouts, while the Utes' defense also has been quite salty. In fact, one of the best performances of the weekend was Utah bottling up an Air Force ground attack to 53 yards, 303 BELOW the Falcons' average coming into the game. Now if TCU can upset OU, again in Norman, the MWC really makes noise and probably leapfrogs every league outside of the SEC in conference rankings." http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/...=feldman_bruce If the MWC is regarded as the 2nd best conference, the champion should have a ton of national credibility. Of course, TCU would have to beat OU, and that isn't likely to happen, but if it does, this season could become really crazy. |

Given the number of teams that do each every year, the answer is obvious. It's far easier to go through a BCS schedule with two losses than it is to go undefeated with a non-bcs schedule.
