The BCS is screwed

Well, what a mess. I didn't expect Mizzou to win the Big 12. No way they were going to beat a healthy Oklahoma team that had beaten them by 10 earlier in the year. Of course this all could have been avoided had West Virginia not fumbled away the game against Pitt. Pitt! How the hell does that happen?! Pitt is crap this year and they hold WVU to their lowest rushing output of the season. Pat White gets hurt, is in street clothes apparently and then comes back in the fourth quarter. Poor.

So now instead of an Ohio State-West Virginia national title game, we have something less desirable. I think Ohio State should be in, but after that who knows. I don't think Georgia deserves it. I don't care what Mark Richt says, you can't play for the national title when you didn't even play in your own conference championship (right now this isn't a rule in the BCS that you have to win your conference to play for the national title). And I don't care if Georgia tied for first in the East. You still didn't play in the game! Same thing for Kansas and even more so--the Jayhawks didn't beat anybody this year. If you ask me it should be either Oklahoma or LSU. Sorry, USC, but you guys lost to a horrible Stanford team. Virginia Tech is ahead of LSU, but they got smoked down in Baton Rouge.

If I had to make a pick I'd go with the Sooners, but I see way too many teams that either do/don't deserve to be playing for the title this year. And I think an 8-team playoff would solve the problem. To me this is worse than having three undefeated teams. Let's hope we see some kind of change for next year.
