Undefeated Iowa Won't Make National Title Over a One Loss Team?

Tonight, I watched the show College Football Final on ESPN. It was talking about the BCS standings that came out today ( click here to see them ). Iowa was ranked number six above one-loss USC at number seven. Some people are complaining about this, but there is no reason that Iowa should not be ahead of them. Iowa is undefeated and USC has lost. It's as simple as that.

But anyway, the point of this story was that they said that an undefeated Iowa team would not make the national championship ahead of a one-loss team. What! How is that possible? How could you be an undefeated Big Ten team and not make the national championship? That doesn't make any sense. This points very frustrating flaws out about the BCS bowl system that college football has in place. There is no way that a team who went to Wisconsin and Penn State and won, and, hypothetically, went to Michigan State and Ohio State and won. That is a tough schedule. And they are saying this would not be deserving of a national title bid? Wow, ridiculous.

I believe, and I know that I'm sort of biased being an Iowa fan, that if Iowa goes undefeated they will make the national championship. They have to. This year would just be so special if Iowa went undefeated. There is no way that if Iowa came out of this year unscathed they would not make the national championship game. Sure the Big Ten hasn't been as strong as it used to be, but look at Ohio State. They lost to Purdue, and a bunch of people are saying how Purdue sucks and that means that Ohio State sucks. But, you have to remember that Purdue almost beat Notre Dame, who everyone is so in love with. A team that I feel is overrated but barelty lost to USC yesterday. A USC team that could potentially edge out Iowa for a bid in the national title game. It might just be me, but it doesn't seem like the logic fits. This is just one of the many frustrating reasons that the BCS system is flawed.

I think this will pump up the Hawks and they will finish the year undefeated, and will make the national title game. All I can say is that they better. The BCS would have to put them in. I mean, come on, they would be the champions of the Big Ten and be undefeated. That sounds like a national title bid to me.
