The arguments for all three teams are passionate and have merit. Based on what transpired this weekend, I think USC and LSU deserves to be in the Sugar Bowl. You can't dismiss that the Sooners got their asses handed to them in the Big 12 Championship game. How can a team that lost its conference championship game go to the National Championship game? It kind of throws logic out the window.
But what this all cleary illustrates is this BS, ehh I mean BCS system doesn't work. Case in point is the fact that if Notre Dame had beaten Syracuse on Saturday, USC would have pushed past LSU in the BCS because the Trojans strength of schedule would have improved based on the Irish victory. WTF kind of system is this??!!
There is a simple solution. A 16 team playoff just like all the other divisons of college football and use the current BCS bowl system plus the Cotton, Gator, whatever bowls as the elimination bowls. One of the four BCS bowls gets the national championship game when it's down to two teams. There is plenty of time to do this. Basically the whole month of December is available. The college presidents make the ridiculous claim that this would interefere with exam time. Please. This isn't the Ivy League championship. Most of these so called student-athletes are just the latter. Bottom line is under the current system, the universities, conferences and the bowls have too much money on the line to quietly walk away from such a lucrative system.
College football is an awesome, exciting game being ruined by fat cat administrators and bowl executives who are not willing to work out a system for the betterment of all of Division I football.
