BCS Anarchy Just About Here

College Football

West Virginia loses is a world class shocker at home to heavy underdog Pitt.

Missouri down 11 with thirteen minutes to go in the 4th quarter to Oklahoma. IF Mizzou cannot come back, then 1 and 2 will have fallen on the last weekend of the college football regular season.

For those of us who hate the BCS, this would, of course, be absolutely a pleasure. In every respect.

If it comes to pass, then tOSU is in the title game again. Who would meet them there?

The candidates:

Georgia
USC
LSU
Va Tech
Oklahoma

Those are the best of the two loss teams. You would likely eliminate one-loss Kansas (beat no one, he said carefully, noting that tOSU’s resume ain’t all that great either) and Missouri (two losses to OU) from the discussion.

Of those five, who should go? Who knows? It’s all frickin’ arbitrary and ad hoc. Decent arguments can be made for each (except for maybe the Hokies).

My best guess? Look for the voters to engineer either USC or LSU to the sweet spot in the polls, and for one of those two to face the Buckeyes. Let’s call it USC. Barely.

Maybe, hmmmm, perhaps, just a thought, a playoff might help with this? For the love of all that is holy, college presidents, just give us our fuckin’ playoff already.

ETA: Now 35-17 with 10 minutes to go. OU almost cruising now. The barbarians are at the BCS gate.
