Sure they would have. There is usually only one or two undefeated teams and then only 3 or 4 more with one loss. As deep as KU went before losing they would have been in the top 5 and Mizzu would have surely been in the top 10 if not the top 5. It is not that unnormal for top teams to lose just for the #2 team to lose 5 weeks in a row.

 I    disagree with you on NU. If they go undefeated or have only 1 loss they will    be towards the top of the polls. I had stated before the start of this season    that any Big XII team that goes undefeated would play for the MNC and Kansas    just about proved me right. The BCS conference teams will always get    preference from pollsters over non-BCS teams. It is biased. And with NUs    upcoming non-conference schedule we should start to worry that people are    getting on the SOS bandwagon.

You      forget the main reason why Hawaii is not higher - they started the      
season lower ranked than any of these teams. Let's say a team like      Georgia played 
the same schedule Hawaii did and went undefeated. Because      Georgia was a 
tradional powerhouse - started the season with some      expectations and a high 
ranking - they would be number 1. Look at Boise      State - after last year - they 
gained a little respect in the polls at      the start of this year. If they would 
have gone undefeated - this year -      with their 'easy' schedule, they would 
have been #1. I think Hawaii has      the same opportunity next year. Take the 
reverse - I think NE has a hard      time rising to the top next year. One loss will 
blow much of their      chances - depending of course on where they start, and if 
the upsets      continue like they did this year. I think it is hard to argue 
against      OSU and LSU - they did what they were supposed to do. I believe 
Georgia      will kill Hawaii - as Oklahoma should have done to Boise State. As long as      
Georgia doesn't play like they are ashamed not to be in the big game -      and 
try to prove they should have been.

Yes, I mean no way OSU or LSU belongs in this game. This game      is suppose to
be about the 2 best teams in college football. This game is      not about that
this year because the 2 best teams are not playing in it.      Here's why the BCS
is flawed. Entering the weekend, Georgia was the      highest rated 2-loss team
in the BCS, Georgia & OSU did not play last      weekend, however OSU rose in the
standings but Georgia dropped to fifth.      Georgia should have rose to number
2. Then you have Hawaii, who is      undefeated this season but because they play
outside of the 6      high-profile conferences they were not even considered.
(This is wrong).      Instead both of these teams belong in the BCS game not LSU
or OSU. This      game should be about the 2 best teams in college football and
it is Not.      Instead it is about who the media wants to play in the game. This
system      needs to change because is flawed.

I know most of you are      going to disagree with me but think about it for a
minute. Hawaii was      never considered a top school because they played a poor
non-conference      schedule but so did KU. KU was undefeated in week twelve and
they were      ranked number two in the country and were not penalized for their
weak      non-conference schedule but Hawaii was penalized for theirs. You      could
say if Hawaii was not penalized for their weak schedule they should      have
been number three in the country at that time. They would have been      number
one after last week because they went undefeated . Instead they      get to play
Georgia in another BCS bowl but not the one that counts the      most and the one
they should both be in.

I'm not lobbying      for either of these teams but I hate it when people say if
you would play      a tougher schedule then you deserve to be there. There are
many teams      that do not play tougher schedules and they are still there i.e
OSU. In      the old days there was no computers but if you were undefeated more
than      likely you would play for the national championship. College      football
today is about big bucks and sooner rather than later the      championship will
not mean much. I just want the 2 best college teams to      play for the
championship every year and this year this is not going to      happen.

That is true but the bottom line is      that they still won the game and went
undefeated, which you can't say the      same thing for OSU. There schedule was
not as strong as OSU but OSU did      not to my knowledge beat a top 20 team when
they played. I believe Hawaii      will beat Georgia handily because Georgia's
pass defense is poor.      
There is now way that OSU belongs in this BCS game.

The      difference is OSU manhandled it's poor opponents while Hawaii      struggled
against a lot of them, IMO.
