So, 5 undefeated teams at the end of the season
Pittsburgh in a BCS bowl, Cal stuck on the outside looking in and they were the only school in top 6 defense and offense.
Michigan, Pitt and to a slightly lesser extent VA Tech could have been replaced by more worthy teams. Pitt is the biggest disgrace to the bunch, they won by the rules but the rules are flawed imo.
I think TX definately deserves a bowl bid, I mean their only loss was to OK but at the same point Cal's only loss was to USC so how can you deny them a bowl bid?
I think in my ideal world you would have an 8 team playoff system and this year it would be:
1) USC
2) OK
3) Auburn
4) Cal
5) Texas
6) Utah
7) Boise State
8) Louisville, Georgia or VA Tech
The last spot is hard for me to say, Louisville has been impressive with how many points they can put up and their one loss was only by a field goal to a pretty good Miami team. Likewise Georgia lost a close game to TN and got beaten by a team that could very well be the best team in the country. VA Tech lost to USC and lost a heart breaker to NC. The system needs some reform imo.
EDIT: Utah and Boise State had the 2 easiest schedules across the country however I don't think you can take anything away from a team that goes undefeated especially considering both of them blew out a lot of their opponents.
