You could say Arkansas best wins were Auburn (there was a reason why russell wilson chose WI over Auburn) and South Carolina(who beat no one really besides GA by 3 at the begininng of the year). Arkansas ranked 8 in BCS and WI is 15th. Makes total sense right?

You cannot afford to lose "fluke games" in the current system. Arkansas plays in the conference that has produced what, 8 of the last 10 Nat'l Champs? The fact that the SEC doesn't win it every year is because they are forced to play each other all year which leads to losses.
I like Wisconsin a lot and wanted them to run the table as I thought they might have a shot vs. LSU or Bama.

I agree in the current system you can't afford stupid loses or any losses. The problem is the system doesn't provide a clear cut true Champion. It is flawed terribly. So if you think WI has a shot to beat either LSU or Bama how can you be happy with a system that doesn't allow them to play each other and determine that on the field instead of with a computer or politics. Maybe Obama can hold to a campaign promise and fix this system

I think folks are confusing better "team" with better "season." Okie State has twice as many top 25 BCS wins as does Alabama. Alabama literally beat three teams with winning records all season. I don't get how their body of work is superior to Oklahoma State's, fluky Friday night Iowa State loss or not.

The biggest joke will be if UGa figures out a way to beat LSU this weekend and we end up with a national "championship" game featuring two non-conference winners.

I am not defending the system by any means. I think it is a complete disaster.
