Hmmm…

Arkansas is no. 6 in the country. They lost to Alabama at their place but have been strong the remainder of the season.

But i’m still not sure how Oklahoma is ranked above them… They lost at home to an unranked Texas Tech… (Arkansas lost at Alabama to a team that has remained in the top 10 for virtually the last 3 years). 

Oregon… ok, they lost to an undefeated LSU, but their only significant win (yes, a good one) was against Stanford. Who else have they beaten?? And what if Arkansas goes down to LSU and wins??

A 3 way tie in the SEC… who goes to the SEC championship? Who from the SEC goes to the national championship (assuming they win the SEC championship first)?

That’s werein lies the problem I have with the BCS…. Its set up in a way that could most definitely leave the most deserving team in the nation out of the championship and, in this situation, a very deserving team out of a BCS bowl. 

Not saying that the Razorbacks will for sure win in Baton Rouge or that they deserve a national title bid. But I predict that if Arkansas and Alabama win out, there will be 3 SEC teams in the top 5. 

One goes to the title game, another to a prestigeous BCS bowl and the other… shafted by a flawed system. Thus another reason for a PLAYOFF!

simplyfootball:

My top five, in order, would be: 

1. Alabama
2. Boise State
3. Oklahoma State
4. LSU
5. Stanford

I’m not sure how you could rank LSU at anything but no.1… Undefeated this season with 3 out of their 4 wins coming against top 25 ranked teams. I’ll give Boise credit of being a rock solid team, but LSU is clearly the number 1 team in the nation at this point in the season
