BCS rejects the plus one 4 team playoff system.
I know this is an LSU dominated board, but as an Auburn fan whose dad is an LSU alum, no team in the history of football got hosed more than AU in 2004. Auburn beat 4 top 10 teams that year, no team has beaten more in the history of college football. OU beat Kansas on a call that was about the worst call in college football, as Kansas' coach pointed out, and got fined for. Kansas. OU had to get LUCKY to be Kansas.....
Auburn got criticized heavily for only beating Tennessee 38-28, the second time they beat UT, whose only other loss the entire season was by 4 points to ND, but because UT ended the season with 3 losses, it looked bad. Does it matter only 1 loss came at another school's hands? Nope, unless it was Ohio St or USC, then every excuse could be made. 4 top 10 school defeats had never been done, but didn't matter because they started out below USC and OU, and really what matters is what people think before a game is played, so they don't look stupid later on. Who wants to look stupid????
