BCS nightmare avoided
The people who run the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) have to be some of the luckiest people on Earth. They dodged a lot of outrage today.
No. 1 USC and No. 2 Texas remained undefeated, so they'll face off in the Rose Bowl for the national title. A loss by either team - or both - would've led to a lot of arguing over who deserves to play in Pasadena.
Texas slammed Colorado 70-3 to win the Big 12 Championship. Pac 10 Champion USC coasted to a 66-19 victory over crosstown rival No. 11 UCLA.
Some fans are probably asking: Why run up the score so much? Wasn't it enough for USC and Texas to win their games and advance to the Rose Bowl?
Not exactly. Today was basically "Make a Statement Saturday". USC and Texas wanted to win convincly in order to show each other, and the college football world, that they are tough to beat, and worthy of playing in the Rose Bowl.
