This season was probably the most befuddling in the 10-year existence of the BCS in college football. USC started the season ranked number one and ended ranked sixth. Michigan started at the two-spot, but lost their first game of the year to Appalachian State and never recovered. LSU was ranked number one at one point, then number two, began yesterday seventh, and end the season back at second. Ohio State is now number one for the second time.
As if things couldn't get any worse for the BCS, Missouri and West Virginia entered last night as the top two ranked teams in the country. All the two squads needed to do was win, and they would both virtually assure themselves spots in the National Title Game. However, the Tigers fell to ninth-ranked Oklahoma, and the Moutaineers suffered an embarrassing loss to then 4-7 Pittsburgh, throwing a monkey wrench into the entire ranking system.
In the end, it will be the Ohio State Buckeyes and LSU Tigers facing off in the BCS Championship Game. Despite the fact the Buckeyes defeated only two ranked teams, neither of whom have a spot in the final AP poll, 11-1 Ohio State did just enough to earn a spot. LSU looked dominant at times this season, but very vulnerable in other instances. They've experienced many highs and lows, ranging from beating Virginia Tech by 41 to giving up 50 in a loss to Arkansas. However, they took care of business by winning their conference, and because of that, they will have a shot at the title.
