So OU got whipped but will still be in Sugar......

Not sure you should be able to lose last game and play for the title. But I am not going to complain. Grimm made sure to update me to the score every 5 mins. during my rehersal dinner. Guess it is pay back for my OSU bashing;-)

Hard to sleep tonight, Laura kicked me out, said it was tradition. So I am in Billy's closet.

Brad we suck, we don't deserve to be in the Sugar Bowl
Watch the game
its unwatchabe in the 2nd half

So who does? A matchup between LSU and USC? Hopefully if that's the case OU will get to tangle with UM in the Rose Bowl, now THAT"S the game I want to see.

According to my BCS, it will be LSU and OU in the Sugar Bowl.

There's just something fundamentally wrong with a system where a team that is not even the champion of it's own conference plays for the national championship....

Championships should be settled by head to head games not some convoluted computer ranking system.

I agree, the system is not perfect. Regardless, the Jet is reserved for the Sugar Bowl.

At the same time neither is the tax system fair and I pay my taxes.

You sure you want to fly all the way here just to watch LSU pummel Oklahoma?

Oh wait, JMM and will fucking Britney Spears in the ass on the 50 yeard line for the Halftime Show, so maybe that's worth watching.

They got their asses handed to them and they get rewarded with a title shot. That sucks.

well
can i shut up all the whiners?
With all due respect to #3 USC, the teams most deserving of invitations to the Sugar Bowl are #1 Oklahoma and #2 LSU
All 3 teams have 1 loss, and USC simply has not beaten anywhere near the caliber of teams that Oklahoma and LSU have beaten:
Based on teams' current rankings, Oklahoma and LSU have each played 2 games vs. better teams than USC's toughest opponent, and they have each played 5 games vs. better teams than USC's 2nd-toughest opponent
USC has not played a current top-15 team, and the Trojans are only 2-1 vs. the current top-40, despite playing #38 and #40
The best team USC has beaten is #18 Washington St., while Oklahoma has beaten #5 Texas, and LSU has beaten #12 Georgia twice
The 2nd-best team USC has played is #38 Cal, which beat the Trojans
Oklahoma and LSU have each lost only to a current top-25 team (#16 Kansas St. and #24 Florida, respectively), and they have combined for 9 wins over teams currently ranked higher than Cal
As the following list shows, USC has posted only 2 of the 10 best wins by these 3 teams (based on teams' current rankings): 1. Oklahoma over #5 Texas, 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia (regular season), 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia (SEC championship game), 4. USC over #18 Washington St., 5. Oklahoma over #19 Oklahoma St., 6. LSU over #20 Arkansas, 7. LSU over #23 Mississippi, 8. Oklahoma over #31 Texas Tech, 9. Oklahoma over #32 Missouri, 10. (tie) USC over #40 Auburn, 10. (tie) LSU over #40 Auburn
In sum, the Trojans' top wins are over much worse teams than the Sooners and Tigers have beaten, and the Trojans' loss is to a much worse team too: Oklahoma and LSU deserve to play in the Sugar Bowl

OU knew they were going to the Sugar Bowl
they didn't play their best
USC lost to CAL
close game, shouldn't be close CAL is ranked 38th

I think we all know that
who wants to bet on the Sugar Bowl
I'll take OU

Hell
Michigan will beat USC
any takers?

I'll take USC over Michigan and give you 3 for the homefield and LSU over Oklahoma and give you 3 for the homefield advantage to LSU.

Want some of that action?

Your on
