BCS torpedoed a VaTech-Oklahoma matchup
SI.com - Writers - Stewart Mandel: Proposed?Oklahoma-Va. Tech?Orange Bowl busted by BCS - Monday December 17, 2007 7:02PM

As it turns out, an 11th-hour agreement had been reached that would have allowed the No. 3 and 4 teams in the final BCS standings -- Virginia Tech and Oklahoma -- to meet in the Orange Bowl, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. The conference commissioners who oversee the BCS, however, shot it down -- and several of the affected parties are still wondering why.

It's bad enough that we don't get a playoff, but now the BCS is refusing to allow the bowls to come up with the best matchups just so it can protect its legitimacy? Sad.

Well, to be honest I wondered why the Rose Bowl, who gets the first option should the pac10 or big10 champs go to the big dance, didn't chose Georgia? Not to take anything away from the Illini but what would you rather see, Illinois or Georgia versus USC?

Because the Rose Bowl could not take Georgia after the Sugar lost LSU to the championship game. Same rule as no one could take a Big Ten team from the Rose Bowl if they lost a team to the championship game.

That's not the rule.
there's no rule saying the Sugar Bowl automatically got UGA after LSU moved up.....

I don't know why people are debating this. The rules? There are no rules!
The BCS just makes [censored] up as they go along.
