We all know how weak the Big 10 is- Then you add in Ohio State played an embarassing non conference schedule.  Illinois beats Ohio State and then USC dismantles Illionois by over 30 points. 
   I do not think LSU is that good either as they lost to two flawed teams in ARkansas and Kentucky, so I give Ohio State a decent chance in the 7th.  USC is the best team in the country and deserve the share of the title.

What makes you think that?
 
Bottom line, they lost to Stanford. Anybody who loses a game at home as a #1 team favored by 41 does not deserve a split unless EVERYONE else has at least one more loss than they do.

USC had their shot . . . twice.  Anyone who loses two games in a year has no room to bitch and moan about not winning a national title. 

Not saying that LSU is anymore deserving . . . but if you lose two games you have no room to complain. 

Its a flawed system . . . but maybe next year USC should not lose to Stanford as 41 point favorites.

The Stanford thing was a fluke. Put Stanford on the field with USC now and see what happens. In every other sport you're entitled to play shitty games during the regular season and still have an opportunity to win it all.

My top 5 right now:

1. Oklahoma
2. USC
3. LSU
4. Georgia
5. Missouri

Wish there was a playoff to sort it all out.

You can't lose to Stanford at home and than complain when you aren't in the National Championship game.
 
However, I do think there should be a playoff system, and I would have to put USC as the favorite to win a 4 or 8 game playoff.
 
That's why the BCS sucks.

So you are using the logic that since Stanford beat Cal who beat Tenessee it absolves USC from losing at home to Stanford???
 
You are an idiot.
 
USC lost twice. That is their problem. Sure if we had a playoff they might win now, but that is not the system we use. USC lost when it was in their control. Get over it.

I'm a big USC homer out here on the west coast.  You can't lose to Stanford at home, no injuries, good weather, 40+ point favorites, no way, no how.   Do I think they can beat anybody in the nation, hell yes I do.  But that loss to Stanford cooked there goose.

I don't believe in split championships. If there are two so called champs, then there really isn't a champion. A champion is singular, there can only be one.

Absolutely fuk'n right.   Too many people say that this is what makes CFB so great. But in reality, what we're settling for is mediocrity and a debatable Champion.

Just as people try to make the case for USC, you could make the case for Oklahoma amongst others.  But NO WAY IN HELL do you split a National Championship if OSU wins.  Although I hate the BCS system, it is what ALL TEAMS use.  USC wasn't in the Top 2 so they really don't have a gripe.  PERIOD.  Move on.

The whole BCS needs to be blown up.  So many things are wrong with it.

For instance, why the hell does Illinois get the right to play in the Rose Bowl.   Didn't Michigan have the better Conference Record.   Didn't Michigan beat Illinois head-to-head. 

WTF ?!

who cares if USC is playing the best ball right now. There's no trophy they can put up in for that. They blew it this year, plain and simple. It was a wasted opportunity. Move on. They played a shit team today, and like I said a month ago, winning today will prove nothing. Illinois is NOT a top 20 team. MOve on, good luck to the teams PLAYING in the national championship

Had same conf. records. BCS gets to chose whom they want. Michigan was not elligible (were not in top 15). Non-title BCS games are about nothing but ratings and cash.
