Ok, I'll bit on this one. How in the hell does the BCS get away, every year, with picking 2 SEC teams that schedule 3 or more cupcake teams while crapping on other conferences.
Florida has Charleston Southern, Troy and FIU on their schedule. Alabama has FIU, North Texas and Chattanooga on theirs. Meanwhile, conferences like the Pac-10 play a full round robin, going up against every other team for a truly grueling conference schedule. Weakest team that Oregon plays this year? Purdue. Weakest for Oregon State? Portland State. Ok, I'll give you that Portland State was a total patsy this year. But no one in the Pac-10 played a patsy schedule like either Florida or Alabama, yet there will only be one Pac-10 team in the BCS because the Pac-10 is solid almost top to bottom and they beat the crap out of each other game in and game out. Florida and Alabama are good teams, no doubt. But a number of teams below them have played as good or better. The SEC just sets things up so they can keep having the buddy-buddy relationship with the BCS.
