Your memory is bad. Both the AP and Coaches' polls had it USC, LSU, and OK. Both would have probably dropped OK even lower if there would have been any other 1 loss BCS teams. It was the computers, that don't care when and how you lose, and SOS (which drove the computers) that put OK in the CG.
Not to really harp on anything specific that you're saying, but you seem to be taking up for the PAC-10 an awful lot. Same thing with Arkansas fans, maybe you guys are looking for excuses to why you couldn't beat USC? In the main article's discussion, they had an Arkansas fan that I swore could have been a PAC-10 homer had I not read that his nick had something to do with razorbacks. Anyhow, he had an argument stating how the PAC-10 was so superior against the SEC by beating the SEC runner up last season. I had to laugh out loud at that remark. Whoopie sh!t! Had LSU not been raped at Auburn, Arkansas would not have been in SECCG in the first place. It's a moot point, I know, but here is one of his quotes: ND was clearly not on the same level as either LSU or USC. Nebraska, decent, but I wouldn't say that they were better than a Cal-Tennessee match-up. I don't know, I usually just keep my mouth shut when it comes to these sorts of things that I have no control over, but something is wrong here.
JayB, I think he's only trying to present information and let it speak for itself. USC's OOC schedule was more difficult than most, by any means. :thumb: FWIW, his raising question with USC being singled out from that article is legit, imo, in fact the initial thread was titled "USC" instead of "Pac 10" but was edited, to reflect accuracy. :grin:
Oh.. USC beat their usual whipping boy Michigan... Arkansas when they didnt have a starting QB or their best runningback (and their wildcat offense was not yet in use) and the "Big 12 runner-up" Nebraska, who was hardly the big 12 runner up considering they came out of the big 12 north...
Sorry about singling out USC...and thanks for reminding me that there are OTHER teams in the PAC-1! I had honestly forgotten! What would I do without you guys?? Seriously, though...name one other PAC-1 team that could feasibly appear in any plus 1 game...were it to be implemented...just one.......anyone? Buehler??:dis: FWIW, I knew exactly what I was doing when I titled the thread.
+1 is a joke. But a workable playoff could easily be devised. It sickens me how CFB could be so myopic, but I'm afraid they only appear myopic. What they really have their hearts set on is money and power and are uninterested in changing the status quo.
