Whew...Texas was worried OU was going to jump them and then back into the Big 12 Championship game. Now when Tech loses one game (I think they will, if they don't great) then Texas (assuming they win out) will be in position to play in the Big 12 Championship, and MAYBE a national championship. Hook Em!

Why does OK State have a lower % than Boise but ahead of them?

Somebody explain (yeah right lol) this so it makes sense. I'm not real concerned with the rankings today, but in a month. I know there is a certain rank a team has to play to get into one of the elite BCS bowls. What ranks do they take? And is there any benefit other than more payola and "status"? Not MNC, but the other bowls....

I really cant see OU going to a bigger Bowl if UT wins out.
That would mean they would jump from 6 to 3 in BCS.

I sure am glad about this BCS standing!! For one, Texas should be ahead of both Florida and Oklahoma. Florida lost at home to an unranked team, and Texas beat oklahoma. Second Tech is a great team, no doubt about. BUt the BIG 12 is just going to beat each other up this year. Luckly TExas has already gotten through the gaunlet with only 1 loss. IMO I don't see tech BEatin OKST, OK and Missouri in consecutive weeks. But if they do then they deserve to jump over PEnn st. who will go undefeated cuz they play absolutley nobody. However I do see Alabama Losing one also probably late in the SEC championship to Florida. Which every way its going to end up in another BCS mess!!

If OU beats Tech, and OSU beats OU, then you would have Texas, Tech, and OU all with one loss. In that case, the highest ranked team in the BCS standings would go to the Big 12 Championship.

not only that tech still has to play missouri, and if bama wins out they have to play most likely Florida in the SEC championship game. Penn ST doesn't deserve anything they have beaten absolutley nobody and thats why TEch jumped them this week.

From BCS website-

3. The champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the Western Athletic Conference will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either:

A. Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or,
B. Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.

No more than one such team from Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference shall earn an automatic berth in any year. If two or more teams from those conferences satisfy the provisions for an automatic berth, then the team with the highest finish in the final BCS Standings will receive the automatic berth, and the remaining team or teams will be in the pool of teams eligible for selection by the bowls as at-large teams.

OU is in a good spot right now in the BCS polls based on the fact that they lost early and they now have Tech who is #2 in the BCS polls still on the schedule! So is if OU wins out what keeps them from jumping Texas in the BCS polls and playing in the Big 12 championship? And maybe the national championship game if Bama can't run the table the rest of the way?

Even if OU were to win out and Tech loses to OSU as well, UT still gets in as they have the head to head. Going to the final season BCS Polls is like the 6th of 7 steps for the Big XII when determining a champion in the event of a 3-way tie. The tie-breaker for the Big XII was posted on another thread earlier, but I don't remember which one. Now, if Tech beats OSU and loses to OU, then it will go to the final BCS poll. I hate that. I really feel that all of the big 4 in the South are BCS worthy this year, but too bad 2 of them will end up in the Cotton, Gator and/or Holiday. Oklahoma losing to UT so early in the year really helped them out.

The fact that Texas only dropped to number 4 shows that Tech was not an overrated team as some have suggested.
I also hope that Tech stays at number 2 for the rest of the year, however I believe that Tech will win out and will void all of this talk of a 3 way tie.
I'm glad the ut fans believe that the toughest part of their schedule is over.
BTW, when was the last time that Texas beat A&M?:)

My hope is that MSU can beat PSU. That way the winner of the SEC plays the winner of the Big 12! If that cannot happen I hope that UF plays USC in the Rose or Texas in the Sugar. Either of those games will be better than SEC/BIG 12 v. PSU!

I was kind of wandering about this also. UT's schedule has Baylor, A&M, and Kansas left. Two of the three will weaken their strength of schedule. OU has Tech, Ok St, and A&M, two of which will strengthen their schedule. Their not that big of a margin between the two, and Florida's schedule will also continue to strengthen. If the computer really takes this into consideration, it's very possible that OU would have to lose one of it's last three games to allow UT a shot at the Big 12 championship game. Tech holds it's own destiny and I know that nobody is giving them a chance to win out, but it won't surprise me.

11-03-2008, 11:01 AM

Depending on who beats Tech, and somebody will, there could be a three way tie in the Big 12 south. Do they go off of points to see who goes to the championship?

But, Texas has the heads up on OU. Just because our gauntlet is earlier than anyone else's doesn't effect us too greatly. If Oklahoma was to win out, and we blow out our next 3, and/or when convincingly.. we should still be ahead of them. If it's awful hard to have 2 one loss teams and put the loser of the head to head match up above the winner.

And I like the new rankings, after their victory, Tech deserves the #2 spot. They would stomp a mud hole in Penn States butt..but then again i think more than half of the top 10 would. But, Bama will hopefully lose, and I like Techs chances to lose too. And Florida just drops of the face of the earth...

No, in the case of a three way tie, the highest ranked BCS team would move on to the Big 12 championship game. This is why the strength of schedule thing is huge going into the last three games. There is a very slim margin are one loss teams who have a good chances of winning out. If OU beats Tech and it is Tech's only loss the BCS rankings become the tie breaker. I doubt the head to head game will even come into play. Strange things always happen with the BCS. Remember:hand: Oklahoma lossed in their final game (Big 12 championship game) and still played for the national championship a few years ago.

Tech wins out and they play for the marbles. If Alabama wins out they play Bama else an undefeated Penn State.

Tech has a tough road as does Bama. PSU is a lock unless they have a brain fart. I do not think that JoPa will be denied unless there are 2 other undefeated in the major conferences. Should be fun.

They did play with an entirely different level of intensity on Saturday and I'm not sure they (or really any other team) could play like that every single week.

I think it would be a nice story to see Tech win out and be in Miami. I just don't see how that happens when they have to play OU in Norman this year. OU has played the best ball in the conference this year with the exception of the 2nd half against UT. As much as I don't like them, if they played that game again today OU would probably win by three or four TD's. If Stoops and Pelini weren't such good friends they could've put 90 on the board against Nebraska Saturday night.

Tech does control their own destiny at this point though so we'll know either this Saturday or the next where they stand when it comes to going to Miami.

11-03-2008, 03:29 PM

its going to be too tough for the raiders to win out..i think OU has the best chance to rep the big 12 in the title game because they are really tearing it up now..but this all rides on if tech runs the table..texas winning out means nothing...OU winning out against tech and osu and OU will leap frog texas.

They did play with an entirely different level of intensity on Saturday and I'm not sure they (or really any other team) could play like that every single week.

I think it would be a nice story to see Tech win out and be in Miami. I just don't see how that happens when they have to play OU in Norman this year. OU has played the best ball in the conference this year with the exception of the 2nd half against UT. As much as I don't like them, if they played that game again today OU would probably win by three or four TD's. If Stoops and Pelini weren't such good friends they could've put 90 on the board against Nebraska Saturday night.

i think your so right...it is hard to play with that intensity and it is now tough to win on the road in this conference..........ie texas couldn't do either this past weekend......they had a brutal schedule and it was just too much....not a knock on texas....i still think they are a very good team..... the south division is the toughest in the country.......and the fact is there are four really good teams in the division and it will be hard for any of them to go undefeated..............this division is becoming what the s.e.c has been for a while....but a lot of people refuse to see how tough the s.e.c has been and dismiss those teams when they lose.

Not so. If OU wins out (have you seen them play lately?) then Texas at the very least is in a tie for the South. If OSU were to beat Tech, then Texas would win the south outright. Not that much of a stretch.

if its a 3 way tie for the south OU would represent the south if they ran the table because they would have the highest bcs rank...thats why i am saying that texas is done...only chance UT has at playing in the big 12 title game is if tech loses both games

are you saying the event of three way tie for first.....ou would represent?......cause if they are ranked higher in the bcs yes............but in the case which most people on here think will happen..tech loses two more ...then in two way tie texas/ou ...wouldn't texas represent in the big xii title game?

correct in a 2 way tie its heads up, 3 way tie its the highest bcs ranking...osu has to beat tech i think for texas to have a chance to even get to the big 12 game
