What If (BCS)

[KLayneUT8]

Now whoever the well inform are please feel me in..


What if you had The Nat'l games between 2 teams with one loss...much like this year....and then you had a team undefeated also playing in a bcs bowl against the 3 rank team in the land....and the undefeated team won there games and the finals BCS polls come out and the undefeated team jump the one loss national champions...would we have 2 champs?? or what



just curious

?????? I'm not real clear on the scenario you're trying to describe. But, there can only be 1 BCS NC, and that's whoever wins the designated BCS NCG. However, other prominent polls, most notably the AP Poll, have no tie-in with the BCS, and are free to crown their own NC.

Isnt there a final BCS poll after the Nat'l Champ?

Whoever won the BCS Title game would be the BCS National Champions, however, if the undefeated team was voted #1 in the AP Poll, they could claim the AP Championship, and it would be a split title. Basically the LSU/USC thing a couple years ago.

The split title deal is stupid, though...teams buy into the BCS system until they don't get their way, then scream "Well....the AP says we're champs! So we get a National Championship, too!"

No, the last BCS poll comes out after championship week. the BCS poll is only used for bowl game placement, i.e. who gets to play in the game to decide the national championship.


I'm also confused by what you're asking...why would an undefeated team from a big conference be ranked out of the championship game for 2 one-loss teams...that wouldnt happen even if it was ohio state again this year

It was poor play on the NCAA's part too. They should have stepped in and said "we agreed on this system to decide on our championship this year, and that's how it's going to be"....course that would require the NCAA having any actual power at all
