With the Trojans convincing 44-24 victory over Notre Dame Saturday night, USC has leapfrogged Michigan in the BCS standings. The Trojans now claim the number two spot behind Ohio State and now USC controls its only destiny. Beat UCLA next week and the Trojans will take on the Buckeyes in the national championship.
Given the current BCS situation, Florida is on the shakiest ground for playing for a national title. A one-loss Gator team being the odd man out won’t sit too well with Florida head coach Urban Meyer and his plea for a playoff system either. The Gators would have plenty to argue about too. Not only does Florida play in one of the toughest conferences in college football, the SEC, but also the Gators only loss was to Auburn. The Tigers were ranked No. 11 when they upset Florida, while USC’s only loss would be to an unranked Oregon State program.
Of course, one thing could fix all of this mess, but it also makes the most sense. That’s why we may never see a playoff system in college football.
