After the fact it's easy to say otherwise but prior I think everyone for the most part thought the two best teams were on the field.

Auburn was the second best team in the country. When were they on the Orange bowl field?

I knew it. Popular opinion does not make it so (and is usually wrong, but for some reason that's what we want to crown Div-1 MNC with).

Just because Oklahoma got blown out last night doesnt change your opinion to fact either.

I will admit it is an opinion. Will you admit it is idiotic to crown an National Champion by opinion?

Absolutely. I'm all for playoffs.

I'm just laughing at all of the (not necessarily you) "Auburn would have beaten SC" talk.

I don't know for a fact they would, but then again, no one knows for a fact they wouldn't.

Must have playoffs .... grr.....

The BCS this year was a collection of AP and coaches, just like it has been the last few years (with a few computers thrown in for garnish). That was my reference using the term "BCS". My post was that the "BCS" has been slanted toward the Big 12 for 5 years now. This conference is not one known for playing competitive games in elite bowls.

Perhaps not, but the Utes would have.
