I'm as big of an SEC homer as the next guy, but isn't the competition only between BCS conferences? If so, the S. Carolina's victory over Houston shouldn't count towards the overall standings.
I agree, so in cases of non BCS conferences, we changed the scoring. In all non-BCS conferences, the teams were 1st tier in their conference, because only top non BCS conference teams got bowl bids (Houston was tops in their conference). However, while South Carolina would have gotten 5 points for beating a top tier BCS team, it got only 2, the award for any non BCS opponent. If you LOSE to a non BCS opponent, you get a point deducted, as the Pac 10 has now done 2 times.
