Of course they are! Like YOU said:
What if a team loses a star player to injury towards the end of the season, drops a game, but get the player back in time for the bowls? Do you really think that they are less deserving than the other team
I can use the EXACT SAME ARGUMENT, WORD FOR WORD, to describe why a team that has lost one game because its QB got injuried should get a chance against the undefeateds. Why is it any different? How is it NOT comparable?! |
In my scenario, a previously undefeated team loses one of their last games because of an injured player and ends up with the same record as two other one-loss teams who lost earlier in the season. In that case, I don't think it's fair to punish a team just because they lost late; they all have the same record.
In your scenario, there are three undefeated teams. One of them loses because of an injury and ends up with one loss while the other two, I assume, remain unbeaten. In this case, I would have no qualms about saying the one-loss team is not deserving of a title shot, as they have a worse record than the other two teams.
Obviously, the two situations aren't similar at all. Only a complete ****ing retard would think that they are the same...

NCAA says no to computer company's $30 million title-game proposal
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Unhappy with college football's split national championship, the head of a computer company thought he could entice Southern California and LSU to play each other later this month by offering $30 million in scholarship money.
The NCAA quickly hit the "delete" button, saying there was no way such a game could be played.
Ted Waitt, chairman and CEO of Gateway Inc., which is based in the San Diego suburb of Poway, offered each school $10 million in scholarships for disadvantaged students if they'd play each other the weekend of Jan. 24-25. The winner would have gotten an additional $10 million in scholarships and $1 million in Gateway products.
"Everybody wants to see it happen," Waitt said. "It'd be fun. But everybody is afraid of the NCAA. We just want to know one good reason why this can't happen."
Waitt made his proposal in letters faxed Thursday to LSU Chancellor Mark Emmert, USC President Steven Sample and NCAA President Myles Brand.
"It's just not as simple or easy as doing that," said Wally Renfro, the senior adviser to Brand. "Decisions about postseason football are made by the membership of the association. Those two institutions would not be able to make that decision in any event.
"Right now, by the bylaws, it couldn't happen."
And the NCAA wouldn't jump even with $30 million in scholarships up for grabs?
"No," Renfro said.
Besides numerous logistical problems, games aren't allowed past last Sunday, which was the date of the Sugar Bowl.
USC was No. 1 in both the AP media poll and USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll at the end of the regular season, but slipped behind No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Oklahoma in the computers and the final BCS standings because of a weaker strength of schedule.
LSU won the BCS national championship by beating Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl while USC won The Associated Press title by beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
