Thanks - I was waitin' for you to weigh in.

From all indications I've seen, USC will be number one in both polls, but will not go to the Sugar Bowl.

The LSU/Oklahoma matchup is okay by me, as USC hasn't played a tough enough schedule to get invited to the big dance. The Pac-10 was a joke this year, and USC's "big game" was against a team (Washington State) that thought it would be fun to lose to crappy Washington a few weeks later.

LSU and Oklahoma played far more top-twenty-five teams. The BCS gets it right again - LSU and Oklahoma are rewarded by the computer for playing more difficult schedules.
