#1 Missouri and #2 West Virginia Loses


In another crazy day in college football, #2 West Virginia became the sixth #2 ranked team to lose to an unranke team and seventh #2 ranked team to lose overall. West Virginia lost to the University of Pittsburgh 13-9 in West Virginia in the biggest upset this season. This upset comes a day before the final BCS Rankings and the BCS Bowl schedule is supposed to come out. This loss for West Virginia gives way to Ohio State, Georgia and Kansas to move up in the rankings. Also, #1 ranked Missouri lost in the Big 12 championship game 38-17 to #9 ranked Oklahoma in San Antonio. One week after another #1 ranked team, LSU, loses, another one goes down, propelling a whole new matchup in the championship game. There were many quetions as to whether Missouri was going to beat Oklahoma. But West Virginia was expected to destroy Pittsburgh, which didn't happen. West Virginia has still clinched a BCS bowl berth with their Big East Conference championship. Missouri doesn't have a guaranteed spot because they are not their conference champions. They will have to get lucky and get an at-large bid for a BCS bowl game. Hawaii also beat Washington, securing their undefeated season. Can they get a BCS bowl game? Who will play for the national title? Who will be the champions of college football? Does college football need a playoff system?
