13-1 Houston completely exposed what a farce this rigged system is - lets see:
Houston handled F$U far easier than #1 rated Clemson - F$U came into the Houston game 37-3 over the past 3 years with participation in 2 BCS Invitational Tournaments and a "BCS Invitational Tournament National Title" two years ago and a tie for #3 in the nation last year. Again, Houston handled them with ease in their bowl while Clemson struggled to the wire against F$U.

- The P5-BCS-Only Invitational Rankings ranked 10-2 F$U #9 in the nation (2nd highest in P5 ACC) coming into the game in the P5-BCS-Only Final Rankings that determine the 4-team "Invitational" with 12-1 Houston, a non-P5 Conference Champion via a Championship Game, coming into the game ranked #18, 9 spots behind F$U who had an inferior record, nor a conference championship or even participation in a Conference Championship Game! Again, Houston proceeded to show what a preposterous farce the P5-BCS-Only System "Rankings" are that determine who gets invited to the "P5-BCS-Only 4-team Invitational" by again handling F$U far easier than the P5-BCS-Only's #1 ranked team via their "Selection Committee's" hopelessly biased, absurd and completely subjective "rankings".
- Houston was the lowest "ranked" 1-loss FBS Conference Champion by 14 ranking spots!!!! (next lowest 1-Loss FBS Conference Champion was Oklahoma at #4!. Add a spot for the lowest ranked 1-Loss FBS Conference Champion via an actual Conference Championship Game - next lowest via that criteria would be MSU @ #3!).
- Houston was ranked 12 spots lower than 11-2 "BCS Conference" Pac12 Conference Champion Stanford???
- In the "Final Rankings" of the P5-BCS-Only System Rankings that determined the 4-team Invitational, Houston was ranked behind FBS non-conference champion "BCS Conference Members" #5 Iowa (12-1), #7 ahia state (11-1), #9 F$U (10-2), #10 UNC (11-2), #11 TCU (10-2), #12 'Ole Miss (9-3), #13 (10-2) Northwestern, #14 scUM (9-3), #15 Oregon (9-3), #16 Okie State (10-2), #17 Baylor (9-3) and Independent #8 ND (10-2).
