The BCS was created to eliminate the human bias that affects the AP and Coaches polls. THe polls are only relevent in the fact that they are point generators for the BCS formula. The BCS works and did work this year.
Why is a loss at the end of the year more pertinent than a loss at the beginning? Because in the human polls a team that loses has to slide lower than the teams that won for that week. Just like USC slid a few notches when it lost to that powerhouse team from Berkeley. How can a team that loses to Cal claim to be better than any other team?
Facts:
OU - 1 loss to a highly ranked team (K-state)
LSU - 1 loss to a highly randed team (Florida)
USC - 1 lost to an unranked team (Cal)
OU - very high strength of schedule points
LSU - very high strength of schedule points
USC - lost points due to weak strength of schedule
USC is in one of the largest media generating areas of the country (if not the largest) and this is the only reason that anyone keeps this argument going.
The only national championship acknowledged by the NCAA members is the BCS champion - NOT the human biased poll winner.
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the NCAA College Football National Champions - the LSU Tigers!!!!!!!!
