The BCS has officially melted down and BCS officials have probably spent a very sleepless night trying to figure out what to do now.
What happened? The unthinkable has yet happened again. There is one team who has NO LOSSES although they have played in a weak conference and had a weak schedule and they have NO CHANCE to play for the national championship. They probably played tougher teams than Ohio State played this year who has one loss and will likely play for the national title.
Number one ranked Missouri was knocked off last night by number nine Oklahoma.
Number two ranked West Virginia was knocked off by Pitt.
Number three Ohio State hasn't played in a couple of weeks now.
Number four Georgia should then be the next team in line to play right? Well not necessarily, they play in the SEC and their title game was yesterday and guess what? They weren't in the title game!
Number seven LSU and Tennessee were who are both ranked lower than Georgia is!
So what is a convoluted, stupid system to do? Well having a playoff isn't an option because that is just too easy to figure out who the best team is.
Could a seven and nine ranked team jump ahead of everyone else and play for the national title?
Who knows but there is no doubt that somewhere someone is trying to make perfect sense of it and the rest of the football watching nation will be unhappy with whatever decision will be made since there is 100% certainty it'll be a bad decision!
I really don't even have a good guess at who will play the game but the logical choices are the number three and four teams which are Ohio State and Georgia but I wouldn't be surprised at any two teams they put in there and then try to sell the game to the public as the best game.
They have their work cut out for them in trying to defend this stupid system.
