I just want Missouri and Florida to win. That way we can have a whole bunch of cool one-loss teams to argue about.

Florida is a NINE AND A HALF point favorite . Wow I dunno if an unbeaten #1 team has ever been such a dog in history.

As far as the Texas Oklahoma thing, college football has always had favoritism towards teams that lose early than teams that lose late. Yes Texas could be undefeated if that last second pass to Crabtree (who made a sick catch btw) didn't come thru and yes they beat Oklahoma.... but Oklahoma not only beat Texas Tech, they annihilated them, then beat Oklahoma St in their own building decisively the next week.

It's a never-ending circle if you say Oklahoma can't get in bc they lost to Texas, but then Texas can't get in because they lost to Tech, and Tech can't get in because they lost to Oklahoma.

Bc Texas lost last second and very well could beat undefeated right now, I'll agree and say they got screwed if they don't get an opportunity (they aren't completely out of the BCS game yet), but regardless someone has to get screwed each year (how about UNDEFEATED Auburn who plays in a major conference not getting a title shot).....i'll quote an ESPN analyst and say (in reference to the Big 12) the South should just secede (sorry JD) and let the real teams in the Big 12 (North) play for the real Big 12 Championship and decide it that way.

In this case it is not the BCS's fault.
It is the Big 12.
They are the ones who put the BCS as part of the three way tie breaker.

Well, I mean...it's like the 5th timebreaker or some crap. Nobody ever thought 3 teams would be 11-1 and that one loss would be to one of the other 3 teams.

Sadly, with the recent TV contracts on bowl games, I really don't see when any changes would ever happen.
