Mizzou was ranked higher than KU though, in all polls including the BCS. If you go strictly by wins and losses, then Hawaii should be in the championship.

^^^Good point.
Plus, Mizzou beat Kansas recently.
I just think the BCS missed the oppurtunity to put some good matchups in there.

true win loss would put the undefeated team as #1.....another thing would be that mizzou ends up in the same boay as georgia. they don't get into a higher bowl they deserve because they didn't win thier division

But you don't....strength of schedule. For the record, I'd love to see Hawaii get the shot just to mix it up and make it fun.

But then we go back to asking the question as to why KU and not Mizzou? KU didn't win their division, or even their half of the division.

No, I wasn't arguing that we should go by strictly wins and losses, I was responding to the comment that Mizzou was left out because of their record compared to KU. Mizzou had the 20th (26th? I can't remember) something hardest schedule, KU, 109th.




Anyway, KU is going to get killed in the bowl, and OU should probably handle WV fine, but it should be a decent game.

[Cigar_Dan]

true i guess they just felt bad for KU or someone really wanted to see them get handled big time in a bowl game.....I hope all the bowl games are close though, it gets old watching teams get blown out bad enough that you wanna find another game to watch at halftime...

I gotcha....though I still would love to see Hawaii in the Big Game just to make it fun.

The BCS means nothing.

Georgia and USC are playing the best football right now and are not in the championship game.

Two teams both beaten by MU and ranked lower made it into a BCS game?

Just goes to show that the BCS has no credibility what so ever.

Neither do most politicians, but they're still around.

We should replace Congress with a playoff system.

The national championship shouldn't be decided by "who is playing the best football now" it should be like high school and the NFL - "who wins their district/division automatically gets into the playoffs and then you worry about who has the best records to fill in the wild cards."

The reason college football and the BCS is screwed up is everyone wants to VOTE who is the best team in the nation and it's always someone's home team. If a team wants to be #1, it should have to win its conference first. Sorry for all you teams like Georgia, BUT YOU DIDN'T WIN YOUR CONFERENCE TITLE!!!!

Thing about this is that you're running on two different systems. Maybe the BCS isn't and shouldn't be decided by who is playing the best right now. I can go along with that. However, if that is the assumption under which we're operating, then we need to be consistent. The conference championships do not operate this way. They are decided largely by timing and who plays the best at the right time, rather than by who plays the best throughout the season. So, conference championships, influenced by timing, help decide BCS placements, which are supposed to be a snapshot of the season.
