This why the NBA has playoff series.

Tournaments only yield a true champion when it's the team you root for... otherwise, the structure is used as an excuse.

Are you kidding me? That is one of the reasons why a single elimination basketball is the best way to determine a National Champion. You have to show up to EVERY game or you go home, it's as simple as that. The best team at the end of the year will be the one who can withstand the pressure.

USC in 2003

Boise St and TCU in 2009
TCU in 2010

All disagree.

I don't really feel like getting into each of those, but they all had a reason to be left out of the BCS game.

The reason you don't is because they had legit claims to be in the NC game and you know it.

OSU is the best team in the country over the course of the entire season. But that is the beauty of the NCAA tourney....especially this year, on ANY given nite, the best team does not always win. If OSU/Kansas play a series against teams..the better teams usually come out of those. But that doesn't happen in college. Pretty crazy NCAA..never seen anything like this before.
