Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech,Florida, Alabama,Utah, Boise St,USC, Penn St. That right there is 9 teams that are above Ohio St and there is only 10 bids for the BCS games. 2 Of which are auto-bids to the ACC/Big East, so with that said Ohio St should NOT be playing in any BCS game rather a lower bowl.
And with USC they may schedule 1 hard game on their schedule and have all season to circle the game and get all hyped up for it. Never have I've seen USC play a hard schedule except maybe the last game of the season. But USC themself has proven any team is able to circle a single game in the season and give 110% and win that game. See USC vs UCLA, Oregon, Oregon St and STANFORD etc over the past couple of years.
This is how I'd ideally have the bowl games this year:
Texas Vs Florida
Oklahoma vs Alabama
Texas Tech vs USC
Penn St Vs Boise
Utah Vs Cinny

You're leaving Va Tech out...
I agree that Ohio State is not worthy of a BCS bid, but by the rules they are the best available team.

The BCS is best for TV...that's where the money is. Advertising and network contracts. The BCS is just a glorified bowl system with the addition of a "#1 vs. #2" title game added.
