But if you apply Kaos' view of ONLY going by SOS, as is the argument apparently for putting OSU in over Alabama (other than those two teams have yet to play each other), then Houston fucking fails miserably in that. I think their SOS is like #111 in the Sagarin ratings. The only ranked team they will play this season is #24 Southern Miss this weekend. So, why doesn't everybody just join C-USA, play shitty unranked teams in your division throughout the season, and win out every year? I mean, how is it fair to award them for playing a shitty schedule that would make Ole Miss an 8 win team, while teams in the SEC beat each other to death week in and week out?
The BCS doesn't consider only SOS when figuring placement. It is a blend of factors that decides.
Use whatever criteria you want, but pick one and let's hear it for fuck's sake.
Excluding LSU:
SOS? - Oklahoma State. Oklahoma. USC. 22 other teams have you beat.
Highest Win %/Most Wins? - Houston. (100%, 13-0 pending win next week).
Excluding Houston? Virginia Tech. (92%, 12-1 pending win next week) Boise, Stanford, and OK State have at least equal claim.
Conference (Division) Champions? There are 12 D-I conferences. That's 12 teams more deserving than you.
No matter the category, you don't deserve it. Besides the fictional made up ESPN talking heads agenda, and again the almighty dollar, which placed you higher at the beginning of the year, which is why you're still here now. In no equitable category are you the more deserving team.
And oh yeah.
YOU ALREADY PLAYED LSU AND FUCKING LOST!That is the
only criteria that matters.
