And thats why no bowl eligible SEC team will get passed over if the BCS takes 2 teams

Even as a Buckeye Fan I would have to agree with that.. SC had a rash of injuries and the Bulldogs have been the hottest SEC team since lateOct......

No best team in the nation gets rolled by 3 Td's at any point in the season.
Lsu & Oklahoma = my top 2

That's not the only reason. AT ALL. Big name schools will never get passed over. That's it. Doesn't matter what conference.

Wiz a team like Northwestern from the big 10 will get passed over at .500 where as if Miss State had a .500 record they would be in a decent bowl. Why causeNorthwestern wont travel.

No they won't because that will never happen because of bowl contracts, and Northwestern will get passed over because it is a smaller school than MissState. Compare Miss State and Illinois, and Illinois is going to get over Miss State.

Understandable, and I disagree that the Vince Young game was a fluke (he was simply the best football player in the country that day and there was no wayhe was going to let Texas lose that game) but when you look at the board this year, Besides Ohio State Kansas and Hawaii, EVERY BCS team has at least 2 losses,one of which is an "embarassing" loss that shouldn't have happened.
You can't be a college football fan and tell me that there's ateam in the country right now better than USC. No one not named Vince Young is beating Pete Carroll in January. He's smashed 5 out of the last 6 teams hefaced in a bowl, and even the loss was a last ditch effort and only by 3. Now I agree that they don't deserve to be in the NC this year, they lost thegame they were meant to win (Stanford) and they deserve to be punished for that, but if the BCS is going to continue this facade of "scheduling the bestpossible matchups" then they need to seriously rethink the way they go about it.

^Technically, the Big East is tied to the Orange Bowl... I don't know if that's changed or I was just mistaken and used to seeing Miami play there allthose years...
