The mega-conferences with championship games do nothing but ruin schools' chances of participating in better bowl games. Championship games suck, ask any coach how he feels about them. Who likes them?The people who make money off of them, that's it.

then play everyone in your conference. Its fucking lame, and it happens year after year in the Big 10, that the best 2 teams don't play each other. Plus, I don't exist to make coaches happy. The teams that play a tough conference schedule and come through a championship game deserve to be rewarded, and they usually are. Its ridiculous that USC will get in the championship game playing that lame PAC 10 schedule, the MAC is better than the PAC 10 top to bottom. And no way Cal should be #8.

I think I can agree on that.

Not necessarily true, but your point is valid, especially this year.

What about teams not having control over conference rules? Are they to be punished then?

Is it? They wiped the floor with everyone they've played the last 2 seasons. It's not as if the Big 12 goes out and wins every bowl game their schools go to.
The MAC better than the Pac 10? You saying Buffalo is better than Arizona?

All 'BCS' conferences should have a championship game, to level the playing field. USC gets to walk through a cake schedule AND get an extra week to gameplan.

They were really impressive against PAC 10 teams, with the exception of the only other decent one, Cal, and struggled with VT. I wouldn't give points on a Buffalo/Arizona game.

I'd be willing to guess the Big 12 and the SEC ar among at least the top three conferences in BCS appearances, as well as national champioship game appearances. I can't be sure, but that would be my guess. Remember when Colorado almost made it to the NC with 2 losses? No way they could have come close without that championship game at the end. Hell, Nebraska even made it that year without making it to said championship game.

Last year OU was in the BCS championship game after losing the Big 12 Championship.

Typical OSU fan right here. How's the record this year?
I'm sure the three loses (will be at least four by years end) are due to the fact that Fassel is teaching his class and doesn't have time to prepare for the games. What class you might ask? He teaches a class called, get this, Football. It's four credits a semester for Athletes so they can pad their GPA. To bad the NCAA found out, this scam has probably been going on for years.
Way to go Ohio State.
Oh and for all the thread hyjackers, I think you are all jealous because the other Conferences have no compitition level what so ever. There might be two maybe three decent teams in each of the other conferences, but the Big Ten has regularly at least 5 teams in the Top 25.
