The BCS should work out after all

Now that Ohio State is done (at least for now) it appears from the gurus that study the BCS that if Kansas wins out, the Jayhawks would jump past Oregon into the title game. They might even jump to No. 1 because if they beat Missouri and Oklahoma in back to back weeks, even the doubters will be sold on Kansas. Most of the collective public will cry the controversy surrounding which one loss team deserves a spot in the title game proves the BCS is a sham. The fans of the one loss teams need only to turn their frustration to their own team. It's simple. Don't lose. If you do, then don't gripe about getting left out. What happened to Auburn in 2004 was a tragedy but maybe they could still get a national title if the NCAA finds Bush was taking cash during as early as the 2004 season.

As an Oklahoma fan I am intriguing by the possibility raised by ESPN BCS guru Brad Edwards that the Sooners might be able to jump Oregon if they beat KU for the Big 12 title. A lot of eyes could be on that game. Oregon's schedule really don't have much upside to impress. However, if OU wins out but doesn't pass Oregon, I won't cry about the system because my favorite team should have beaten Colorado and they would be in without question. Same thing for LSU, Oregon, West Virginia.

LSU is back in the top spot. I'm not sure I agree but they can present a strong case. The Tigers' biggest obstacle may be fighting the distractions that are sure to come over the next three weeks as the coaching carousel begins to spin. Michigan and Ohio State finish up their regular season this weekend and many expect Lloyd Carr to announce his retirement soon after. It's thought that Miles in the top guy on Michigan's wish list. The media will have a field day with Miles, Michigan and what impact it could have on the future of Tiger defensive coordinator Bo Pelini. Bo was the interim coach for the Huskers after Solich was dismissed. Many wanted him to stay but Steve Pederson wanted 'his' guy - Bill Callahan. Pederson is gone. Callahan will be shortly. Do the Huskers want Pelini back or do they favor former Husker QB great Turner Gill? Back to Auburn, are fans worried about rumors Tuberville may be the top candidate on the A&M wish list? It could result in a bidding war that would likely reset the bar for top coaches around the country.
