My boys up in Auburn are now in the Top-10.

Expect them to now choke against The Citadel, only to beat the snot out of Tennessee (in Knoxville) the following week. They then further perfect the art of choking, falling to La Tech and a couple of weeks later, Kentucky. The Tigers will close out the season strong with wins against Georgia, at 'Bama, and at the SEC Championship thus ending that conference's bid at a National Title. They'll finish the regular season 9-3 before branding whatever sacrificial lamb the non-BCS school sends into the big party.
(My bet's on Utah... they're really not that good, really... they just have a good QB and a great receiver... not much else to brag about in the land of Latter-Day Saints... not the defense, not the running backs, not the offensive line... they've been winning games because of two players... sorry, just had to get that out)

I really wish Texas could pull off the big W over Oklahoma....who knows it could be this year.....if that happens they are in the hunt

Nobody ever wants to give Texas credit for putting Oklahoma in the hunt it seems. It is Oklahoma's win over Texas that puts them in the hunt as well. It is a two way street. The winner of the Texas vs OU game is pretty much guaranteed a shot at a BCS bowl and/or championship.

PLUS all that super talent that jumps over the Red River each year.

If I had my way, the ship jumpers (Texas grown talent) would have to stay in Oklahoma forever because they left!!!!! LOL (maybe)

Heck yeah!!! I'm a Texas boy and proud of it.

I'd give them the choice of being tarred and feathered, but that would be the easy way out. Exile in that God-forbidden land is much worse.
