2nd Best College Team In Texas?

[Bullaholic]

This topic was taken up in spur-that-mule's thread, but I thought it was interesting enough to merit a thread of it's own. Who do you think is the runner-up to UT as the 2nd best college team in Texas?

I'm going to say TCU because of their 10-win streak and successful bowl appearances.

I think TCU and Texas Tech should play it off at the Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater. Then we will know.
Can you get that set up? I got $5 for my ticket.

Just found this. Goes right along with this thread!

TCU 11th, Tech 20th in final poll

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - All season long, the No. 1 ranking belonged to Sou-thern California - before Texas swiped it away at the end.

The Longhorns finished first, a unanimous choice, in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 1969 after beating the Trojans 41-38 in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday night.

Not only did Texas end USC's 34-game winning streak, the Longhorns snapped USC's record string of 33 consecutive polls as No. 1.

Texas opened the season No. 2 behind USC and coach Mack Brown and his players never grumbled about being stuck behind the two-time defending national champions.

The Longhorns were fine with waiting for a chance to prove they were the best on the field - and they did.

Vince Young ran and passed for 467 yards and scrambled 8 yards for the winning score with 19 seconds left for Texas (13-0).

The Longhorns received all 65 first-place votes.

USC was second, ahead of Joe Paterno and Penn State, which had its highest final ranking since finishing No. 2 in 1994.

Ohio State was fourth, and West Virginia finished fifth. LSU, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Notre Dame and Georgia rounded out the top 10.

It's been more than a decade since Notre Dame finished a season ranked this high. Behind coach Charlie Weis the Irish have their best ranking in the final poll since 1993, when they finished No. 2 behind Florida State.

The last time the Crim-son Tide were a top-10 team at the end of the season was 1999.

No. 11 TCU (11-1) just missed the Top 10, but still grabbed its best final ranking since 1959, when the Horned Frogs were seventh.

Urban Meyer ended his first season at Florida with the Gators ranked 12th, tied with Oregon for that spot. Auburn was 14th and Wis-consin 15th in coach Barry Alvarez's final season.

The Southeastern Con-ference had five teams in the top 15.

UCLA was No. 16, followed by Miami, Boston College, Louisville and Texas Tech. The final five were Clemson, Oklahoma - which finally got back in the rankings after falling out in September - Florida State, Nebraska and California.

The Cornhuskers haven't been ranked since the end of the 2003 season.

Nebraska beat Michigan won a wild Alamo Bowl, 32-28, to knock the Wolverines from the rankings. Michi-gan didn't make the final AP poll for the first time since the 1984.

Lamar University........oh, wait, forgot they got rid of it years ago:D

Tech would rip TCU! TCU finished higher because of their lack of playing anybody. TCU got lucky and caught OU early, Tech beat them at season's end. Would TCU have played as great of a game against Bama as Tech did? NO! Tech would win that game around 35-13.

[wos fan1]

I agree.

Rip TCU???

Tech is good but BAMA held them to 10 points

that pass only Offense didn't look so great the other day

I agree Tech should be in the top 10 but TCU should be also
Notre Dame and Georgia
