I think its a good point. The creators of the BCS are getting exactly what they want: controversy. And this translates into more people tuning into more games, and therefore generating more money. Its all about the money.

The reason why I am a proponent of a playoff system has absolutely nothing to do has with Texas being left out. Would it have helped Texas this year? Yes, but it could also potentially benefit OU or any other team at some point in the future as well. I've been a proponent of a playoff system for years. Every level of collegiate sports has a playoff except D-1 football and it's ridiculous that there isn't a playoff in place. The BCS is once again exposed as inadequate. A playoff would generate millions and millions more that what is currently in place. We need a playoff, and one of these years there will be one in place. Unfortunately it won't happen until 2015 at the earliest since the BCS has a contract that runs through 2014.

The playoffs might make more than the current BCS games, but you have to account for the rest of the season, too. Is ABC going to pay as much to broadcast OU/TTU when it's not a de facto playoff game? Is the 06 OSU/Mich game hyped as much when both teams make the playoffs anyway?

[QUOTE=Sooner Todd;10579264]You want a national title game berth? It's simple...play a real schedule and go 12-0...then you are in. UT fans want a title shot...tough ****, you lost. USC fans...tough ****, you lost. Win your games.QUOTE]
As far as the Team heading to the CCG we did win and have the same record so whats your point? OUs Schedule is not much different than UTs OU has 2 teams with 0 wins in there NC SCH. OU might have a slight Nod for SOS.

And yes, Washington is bad, but TCU and Cincy in the NC make it pretty good overall.

Thats why I gave them a NOD in SOS, my point is both are top programs OU could be setting where we are next year. We have lost the CC more than once to teams we have beat and have the same overall record. Goodluck to OU in both games.

All I can think of is like 1994 when TAMU was 6-0-1 and on probation, SMU and UH were winless and everyone else was 4-3.
Unless you mean like two years ago when UT choked away the south against Planet Mangino...but OU still had a better conference record.
