1) Auburn is ranked the number one team in the nation.
2) Oregon is ranked the number two team in the nation
3) The number one team and number two team play each other in a championship game.
4) The number one ranked team beats the number two team in a close hard-fought contest.
5) Final BCS standings for the year come out after the contest and Oregon is ranked...THIRD in the nation.
How the fuck does this happen? We're supposed to believe they were the second best team in the nation. How does losing to the best team in the nation make them NOT the second best team in the nation anymore? Isn't that generally supposed to be what happens when the best compete against the second best? The second best will lose. That's why they're SECOND best.
This happens ALL the time in sports rankings and goes to show what complete and utter arbitrary bullshit they are.
