BCS Gettin' Messy

The new BCS standings have came out today around seven and once again we have some controversy as they rank 1. Alabama, 2. Texas, 3. Oklahoma, 4. Florida, 5. USC.

Now there is a three-way tie for the Big 12 South title and if no one loses their last game then it will be based on the BCS Standings whoever is the highest. As you can see now, its Texas who beat the Sooners by 10 but lost to the Red Raiders. In my opinion, if one team (Oklahoma or Texas) wins by a big amount and the other struggles to win, then its obvious that the team who dominates deserves to play in the Big 12 Championship. Now if both teams win by 10+, I think the team that deserves to play in the Big 12 championship is Texas for the reason I stated above.

Brad Edwards of ESPN.com wrote a great article breaking down the possibilities of still seeing America's favorite Texas Tech Red Raiders in the championship which I had no idea was possible. All that really needs to happen is of course, the Red Raiders beat Baylor, then Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma in Stillwater which is completely possible after the beatdown the Sooners laid on the Red Raiders, a letdown is completely pausable. Also Texas Tech has to get by Missouri in the Big 12 championship game as well.

If this situation happens, I would lose complete hope in the BCS and maybe the United States if USC or Penn State make into the BCS Championship. Granted I like both of those teams but they dont deserve it as much as Texas Tech. I dont care if they got their asses kicked by a whopping forty-four points, they deserve to play if the aforementioned situation occurs.

Another scary situation: What if one of these three loses to Mizzou in the Big 12 Title game? Then does USC (lets remember if the Oregon State Beavers win on Saturday, they are the Pac-10 Champions) or Penn State get in? Or do you allowed the team that didnt play for the Big 12 championship into the mix?

The BCS back again.
