IMO, a team in the country that doesn't win its own conference and gets pasted by 28 points in their last game doesn't deserve to play in the title game. Look what happened to Nebraska a couple of years back when they snuck in versus Miami.
All 3 teams have a great argument though IMO USC v. LSU wins out since they won their conferences. Yeah, OUs conference was tougher than the Pac 10 but they didn't win it! And it was their choice to add the title game by them expanding - don't blame USC for that.
I think this will hopefully hasten the institution of a playoff -
division 1 football is the ONLY sport in the NCAA that doesn't have a playoff! the BCS contract ends in 2 years so maybe in 2006 we'll be there.
Heck, I can live with USC being the AP champion and LSU/OU in the coaches poll. But won't it be strange with USC finishing #1 in coaches poll if they win the Rose Bowl but be skipped over for the title?
