Like I've said, if you can't win your own conference you don't deserve to play in the NCG.

Oregon did win their conference. Had they beaten USC, they would have finished with a resume that included PAC-12 Champions with wins over #4 Stanford, and #5 (in the AP Poll) USC.

Delany remains opposed to a Plus-One because he believes it would lead to an eight- or 16-team playoff that would harm college football’s regular season and bowl system.

“Our view is we’d like to stay where we are,” Delany told the Tribune in a telephone interview. “We do believe in the slippery-slope theory.”

But Delany also said of the BCS: “No system is perfect, and this one is not. It can be improved.”

sherm03;1004642 wrote:I know they have 2 losses. That's why I said, IF they had beaten USC (which would give them 1 loss...that came at the hand of LSU).

Are you dense, stupid, or both?

If Alabama had lost another game, Oklahoma State would've been fine with blowing that one game. But once they lost, they were at the mercy of other teams. It was no different with LSU, they were at the mercy of other teams after their poor performance, but other teams also underperformed.

Skyhook79;1005444 wrote:1 loss Kansas (only loss was to #3 Missouri) was left out and 2 loss LSU was chosen in 2007. How did Kansas underperform more than LSU?
Hope this helps.

People weren't impressed with that when it came down to it. You couldn't figure that out?

I'd be against the rematch of Oregon LSU especially if OK STwas in the same position they are now. If OKST was not in the picture with their accomplishments then go ahead with the rematch.
