In the final BCS Rankings on Sunday, it was determined that Ohio State will play LSU for the national championship on Monday January 7, 2008 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. That became the case after West Virginia and Missouri, who were in prime position to play for the title games if they won their final game, lost their games to Pittsburgh and Oklahoma respectively. In the other BCS games, USC will play Illinois in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. On the other BCS game on New Year's Day in the Sugar Bowl, Hawaii will play Georgia. In the Fiesta Bowl on January 2, West Virginia will play Oklahoma. In the Orange Bowl on January 3, Kansas will play Virginia Tech. Missouri, who was ranked #1 before their loss to Oklahoma, didn't get a BCS bowl game. Instead, they play in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day against Arkansas. After the matchups were set up, there were many questions as to whether the BCS system got the national title matchup right. There were also many people who said that there should be a playoffs in college football. Was Ohio State and LSU the right picks for the championship game? Was Hawaii, who went undefeated all season, snubbed? Was Missouri, who beat Kansas and were #1 last week, snubbed out of a BCS bowl game?
