First off, I would like to say, exactly what I said would happen, did happen today when they released the standings.

Second, I was joking when I said OU lost on purpose. I doubt bob stoops would want a perfect season to be lost just cuz it would keep Texas out.

Finally, I agree with BigBlue, IT SHOULD BE A PLAYOFF SYSTEM.

I say, you can keep the BCS ranking system, but use it as a playoff setup, with one exception, remove the quality win component. Then take the top 1-8 teams in the BCS standings, and have them play a bracketed playoffs. 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, and 4v5, and then next round have the highest remaining seed play the lowest remaining seed, etc. Keep doing it, until u have two teams left that play in the "national title game". The only problem with that scenario, is there are times when a conference champ will not be ranked in the top 8, but I say thats fine. I mean this year Kstate is number 10 in the BCS, and therefore in my system would be left out, even though they won the big XII, but I say thats okay. I mean come on, they have three losses. I think that would REALLY make it the top 8 teams in the country playing against each other. None of this automatic bid because you are a conference champ. I mean both Oklahoma and Texas are better (record wise and BCS wise) than Kstate, but because its Big XII north v south, Texas is automatically out cuz OU beat them, and KState, who not only lost to Texas, but also has a worse record, would get to go to it. And none of these rules that say only x number of teams from a conference can go. If teams 1-4 are from one conference in the BCS, thats fine, because that means they deserve it. And since Strength of Schedule is part of the BCS, you will truly get the teams that have few losses and are playing tough teams to get there. I would really like some feedback on why this scenario would not work. I am trying to think of things I am overlooking that would make my suggestion flawed. Thanks.
