The B$C$: ESPN cried out, and the computers answered!

Boise is now not only NOT BCS #1, they aren't even in the BCS National Championship Game.

The hue and cry went out from ESPN (the new home of the BCS) on about Monday or Tuesday. Someone ran the numbers (or at least what numbers could be found) and found out the same thing I did. Under the current structure, Boise State would be #1 under last week's numbers.

Well, they made that very public, and, wouldn't you know it, this is what we get for the first BCS Rankings:

OKLAHOMA is #1!!

Geez Louise: Oklahoma, one of the Elite Seven. The only seven college football programs you should really care about (if you're someone like ESPN, the new home of the BCS). The only seven college football programs to play for the BCS title since 2003.

Oklahoma was (and a distant, at that) FOURTH in the projections I had last week, using all five available computer programs and both BCS polls.

Oklahoma was #1 on only one of the five computers I saw last week. They are #1 on FOUR of six BCS computers.

OREGON is #2.

So the national title game right now is Oklahoma-Oregon.

Follow the money, people. And, Oregon, do not make your plane reservations for Arizona for January 10. LSU is jumping you, unless they are beaten.

Why? Consider what an Oklahoma-Oregon game would look like (especially with Boise and probably TCU subjugated -- much less an undefeated Michigan State) to the corporate suits at ESPN vs. two of the Elite Seven.

Think this is legit? It's not.
