Vast Conspiracy
You thought the BCS treated the Pac-10 poorly two years ago when No. 2 Oregon got aced out of the Rose Bowl by No. 3 Nebraska? Listen to this scenario, which isn't that far-fetched.
Ohio State beats Michigan.
LSU loses to Ole Miss or Arkansas or the SEC East champion.
Oklahoma loses to Texas Tech or at the Big 12 Championship Game.
USC beats UCLA and Oregon State.
Ohio State rises to No. 2 in the polls and No. 1 in the BCS ranking.
Oklahoma drops no farther than No. 2 in the BCS.
And USC, No. 1 in both polls, is No. 3 in the BCS ranking and doesn't play in the Sugar Bowl.
Implausible? Sure. But the math works. If that happened, the national championship spotlight would shift to the Rose Bowl, three days before Ohio State and Oklahoma play. The Rose Bowl would not get to host an Ohio State-USC game for the title. But given that the nearby Trojans would benefit, the Tournament of Roses would probably get over it.

While this is an extreme it shows the fallacies and shortcomings of the current BCS. The current BCS ratings are now posted and this was in reply to some of the changes made in the BCS that are totally contrary to all of the rest of the major polls.
