But anyway, I don't think you can say a #9 team has any more beef. Look at Hawaii last year (?)--undefeated, in the BCS, and got totally smoked in the Sugar Bowl.
Sure, there going to be arguments over who are the 8, but as TM points out, make the top 5 or top 3 and get in--that's usually where the debate is anyway. This is a pretty rare year where there are at least 5 teams that could claim to be #1 (2 BCS, texas--beat OK, USC-one road loss in Sept., Penn St.--one point loss on road)

Penn State is good, but they have no claim to No. 1, even if they hadn't lost to Iowa. The Big Ten sucks. That and OSU was going to beat them if Pryor hadn't fumbled.
USC is going to kill them.
