Entering this weekend, the BCS standings had Missouri ranked number 1 in the country and West Virgina ranked number 2. They both lost their weekend games and left college football undecided for the ranking of number 1 and 2 in college football. With their loses, they were knocked out of their possible contentions for a national title bowl game. The college polls were left with a tough deicision on who to make play for the national title.
As believed, Ohio state regained their number 1 rank due to their unbelievable season which contained only one loss. The real problem was who should be ranked number 2 considering who had the toughest schedule with the best record. The three left open was LSU (11-2), USC (11-2), and Georgia (11-2). LSU had never lost a game in regulation, both their loses came in overtimes. The college polls believe they had the best record to the toughest schedule and are going to be playing Ohio State for the national title in two weeks.
I believe the problem with this BCS standing arrangement is that the indefeated teams such as Hawaii won't get a shot at the title because of a schedule that is chosen for them. They have arguably the best or second best quarterback and top 3 defensive unit. Next year, college football is thinking of allowing the top four ranked teams to contend in a two game playoff to decide the national champion of college football.
