For the last 4 years in a row...USC has played the hardest or one of the top 5 hardest, OOC schedules in college football.
They wasted OSU this year....a team that had played in the last 2 BCS championship games. They scheduled Arkansas 2 years ago and demolished them 52-10 in Arkansas...and thats when Houston Nutt was there. The play Notre Dame EVERY year. This year they played on the road in the ACC and at home against the Big 10...who else does that? They won those games by a combined 87-10. They have outscored opponents this year 312-57...but yes, everything is just fine in the BCS system.
Now you wanna talk OOC sched? The SEC is a joke. Look at their OOC games as a conference and you would be hard pressed to see it equal what USC does year after year.
Like I said...I realize that the PAC 10 is ajoke this year.....but how does that really affect what USC is as a team now? Or for that matter...how about Penn St? They could go 12-0 and miss out on the NC game to a 1 loss Big 12 team and a 1 loss SEC team....why? Because they played a weak OOC schedule. Its a freaking ridiculous system. Its why a playoff system is so long overdue...this stupid crap arises every year and it really is so easy to fix.
Again....does anyone think that USC is really only the 7th best team in the country? Because before Saturday, apparently they were 5th best, then they win 56-0 as they should of, and they get dropped 2 spots. Apparebntly two other teams got better between Friday and Sunday. Hilarious.
Thats why the system si so broken.
It would be SO easy.
Winners of the
Big 12
Big11
SEC
ACC
PAC 10
Big East ( though thats getting debateable)
2 at large bids for the next best 2 teams...whether they come from above conferences or a mid-major.
8 teams/4 games one weekend(Sugar, Cotton,Orange, Fiesta)...then 4 teams/2 games the next weekend (Rose, Tostitos Bowls), Then the BCS game as the grand daddy.
