If Oregon wants to bitch, they should bitch about FSU getting in over them. or WVU for that matter.

If Oregon wants to bitch, they should stop scheduling Division I-AA teams and beat better competition (and dont tell me that FSU is great competition, because they lost to Louisana Tech last week). In one of the prior iterations of the BCS points system, teams would lose BCS points when scheduling I-AA teams for every loss that the I-AA team had. Considering that Montana had 4 losses, Oregon could have been below ND if that system were used.
Also considering that ND hasnt gotten BCS money in 5 years and Oregon gets some every year, I dont feel too bad about this at all.

I'm assuming this is some sort of strength of schedule argument.
To that, I'd say:

Oregon: 49th
ND: 54th
UO got [censored], but we all expected it and it will always happen as long as this system is in place. This pales in comparison to 2001.
PS. Dick Bennett can eat my [censored]. You can debate the merits of the Ducks' season, but you can't put them 15th. What a tool.
I don't have any hate towards Notre Dame even though they overrate their team this year. After however many years of futility and embarrassment though, who can blame them?
My biggest issue with the entire situation is that #5 UO is playing an unranked opponent, that's an absolute joke.
Rolling OU and finishing the season #5 isn't that bad an ending though, all things considered.
