This is exactly what I'm talking about. Is it fair to have to leave a team out? Your saying that it wouldn't have been a big deal if a team that was clearly better than OU and as close to equal as possible (if not better than, we will never know) to USC was completely left out of the equation. Remember one thing: after last years standings only one team was the clear choice to be in the championship game---LSU was ranked #2 in AP, Coaches, and BCS...the controversy was that USC was ranked #1 in polls and #3 BCS and vice/versa for OU.
I would love to have a way for a clear champion to be decided, but economics dictates that it will never happen.
