My answer: Absolutely not.
I don't care how good Louisville is, they play in a weak conference and so does West Virginia. SEC is much tougher and with the schedules those teams are playing they definitely deserve to play in the title game.
Now if the team has one loss and the one loss was to a weak oppenent then yes, but if you have won all your games except a road loss to Florida or LSU or something, you should still be able to get in. Louisville plays West Virginia, Rutgers, and a Pitt team that Michigan State beat.
Your answers and opinions....

a Pitt team that Michigan State beat. A Pitt team that the Michigan State team that dominated Notre Dame in the first half beat - not the team we've seen since after the ND game. I say....put in the best teams. If Louisville is good enough, so be it. I don't think they are though.

As long as that one loss team is Florida or Arkansas and not Auburn than I'm fine with it. If it comes down to Louisville or Auburn, than I think Louisville is the team th at should get in.

I have an idea, use the BCS to determine the top 8 teams, and then play it out on the field in a playoff.
Those football players all act like they're so big and tough, so what is a couple extra games going to do. If the NFL can play through the start of Winter than so should the College teams

Yeah if Auburn is the team then yes Louisville but if it's a good team then to me it must be the SEC team.

If it comes down to Louisville or Auburn, than I think Louisville is the team th at should get in. funny thing, i agree with Bama here all throughout the summer and early August, i've been so excited, claiming that Auburn will make it to the BCS National Championship, bragging about how stacked our defense is and all that stuff well, i never actually thought i'd be biting my nails when we played OLE MISS, anyway our best showing was in the 2nd half against Florida, in which we really showcased how good our team actually is well now, i honestly think Florida would wipe the floor with us if we played them again, and even though we lost to Arky, i'm not sold on them totally yet, so i really think that the winner of the SEC Championship should go to the National Championship over an undefeated Louisville team, because honestly, Florida would be undefeated if it weren't for a blocked punt by Auburn i'm not jumping off the Auburn bandwagon, but i'm just saying, we ain't national championship material right now

Simple formula... the team with the most wins and the least losses should get in. There.

Can u say 256 team tournament? All 118 Division I-A teams, all 122 Division I-AA teams, 12 Division II teams, and 4 Division III teams. Every team plays just 4 games, all of which are chosen at random with random teams and random locations. Seeds are based on just their records. For the D-2 and D-3 teams, if there are more than 12 or 4 teams with the best record, overall point differential comes into play. From there, the tournament starts. Division I-A schools get higher seeds over the lower divisions and so on (#100 in D1-A is above #2 in D-2 for instance) and then the massive tournament commences. It takes 8 wins to bring home the National Championship, which will be held in Antarctica.
Also, all teams eliminated in the first and seconds rounds are put in the NIT. The losers of the 1st round play out their round (128 down to 64) and then go on to their next game against the 2nd rounders (so back to 128 and then down to 64 for the next round). The NIT Championship game is held in Egypt.
Then, to cap it off, the NIT Champ can challenege the National Champ, but they must overcome a 40 point spread that is started pre-game, and half the team must play without helmets and pads. Field goals are illegal, and it takes 35 yards for a first down. The National Champs however get 5 points for a field goal, and only have to go Pi yards for a first down, which will be measured out by the linesman after every first down to see where the next first down mark is.
Finally, the BCS calculates who actually is the National Champion, so techincally, the winner of the tournament could still get screwed over by a team that was eliminated in the 1st round of both tournaments.
---------------------
I've already contacted the BCS about my brilliant ideas, so don't think you can steal this genious plan...

I love the fact Louisville has a chance to play for the National title and face Michigan (NOT OHIO STATE) in Arizona. The Big East is a rising conference. USF, Cincinatti, West Virginia, and Louisville can hold there own- those are the cream of the crops. I think Louisville is rated high for a reason- they're undefeated including a win against Miami and of course West Virginia.
Brian Brohm is a first round NFL quarterback and they have a nice wideout corps topped by Mario Urruta. Imagine if Michael Bush was still playing. What Im saying is Louisville has a great chance to make an impact in the BCS and believe they can beat Michigan and win the National Title.
The Big East is already good in basketball but in a few years they're going to have some football powerhouses. After beating Rutgers (yes, they're going to win) and whoever they have left, Louisville's BCS percentage is going to increase.
We can wish for a playoff system all we want but in reality it wont happen for another two years or so

Okay. I've (unfortunately) watched Michigan from nearby all yar and seen several Louisville games, and michigan would beat them by at least two touchdowns. Same with THE Ohio State University.

SilverBlazer, what about Louisville's defense? Defense wins championships, end of story. That's why Ohio State and Michigan are both undefeated.

Which is also why if Florida/Auburn win the SEC Champ with one loss they should jump Louisville. Louisville would be unable to stop Ohio State/Michigan. I also look at it as if the two teams played each other who would win. Your out of your damn mind if you think Louisville would beat Florida/Auburn.

I think Louisville and the Big East is a lot better than some people are giving them credit for, though I still think an OSU/MICH rematch or winner v. SEC champ would be correct.
