Half a game?

If the Chattanooga game had been called at halftime, would that have counted against the Sooners in the BCS computers?

From Richard Billingsley, operator of the Billingsley Report, one of six computer ratings that factor into the BCS:

“The answer is no. If a game is called by the NCAA officials, it goes down in the recod books as a final score at the time the game was called. Therefore, history would have recorded a score of 50-0 and all public records of polls, ( AP, Coaches, Harris, Computers, would have all reflected a 1-0 start for Oklahoma’s 2008 season just like the game had gone 4 quarters.”
