Math And Sports Just Don't Mix

I think USC was ROBBED this year. It's hard for me as a life long UCLA Bruin to say this ... but USC probably has the best football team in the nation. They are ranked #1 in both ESPN/USA Toay and AP polls.

 

But who get's to play the national championship game?

 

Oklahoma and LSU http://armenians.com/forum/style_images/1/icon8.gif

 

Who came up with this amazing plan?

 

A math formula ... the BCS (bowl championship series) ranking system. All three of these teams have 1 loss this year. USC was only 0.16 points behind LSU in the rankings ... well ... this is where math is stupid.

 

Either have a real play-offs ... or don't call it a "national championship game".

 

This sucks! :angry:

They should have a system where at the end of each season 8 teams play in an elimination tournament. That's only 7 games and they can all be bowl games. The final two teams would end up playing 3 each which is not that much, after 10 or 11 regular season games. The current system is no good, and will probably be replaced soon, as long as s**t like this keeps happening.
