If this is the way it'll pull out, Texas will give Utah an A$$ Whoopin. Oklahoma and Florida will be a great game but i dont think as good as Texas/Florida. Tech has the offense to score points on ANY DEFENSE and if they can pull it out in Norman than they'll without a doubt be in the NC and WILL be the favors no matter how many people Still say that FLORIDA is the best time in the nation. Lets see, Florida lost to Ole Miss who had and EX LONGHORN at QB and they werent even ranked. Texas lost to Tech who WAS ranked then and is ranked 2 right now. Texas is a better team i believe, SO is Tech, SO is Oklahoma.

don't see why Ohio St goes to the BCS. they haven't beaten anyone. why should Ohio St. go to a BCS Bowl over Boise St.At least the last time Boise St. went to a BCS Bowl they did win.

We better! If we win out, we'll have beaten the #2 team and a top 15 team in back to back weeks while Texas is having fun beating up on Kansas and A&M. So the schedule benefits us. At least it SHOULD. Don't know how it will turn out though. Interesting quotes from several Aggies sitting around me on Saturday. "Gah Oklahoma is good. Don't know how they lost to Texas."

I don't agree of course, but I have a good argument:

1. Texas beat OU by 10 points on a neutral field.
2. Texas beat 3 top ten ranked teams in a row.
3. Texas lost on the ROAD at the last 6 sec to the #2 team in the country(#7 at the time), after beating 3 top ten teams in a row.
4. OU would only beat Tech at home and a #13 team on the road.
5. Did I say Texas beat OU already?!?!?!

Decent argument. But the fact remains, we have two games against two ranked teams and Texas doesn't. That's pretty cut and dry. The schedule benefits us at this point.

And no I do no believe that Texas' SOS is better. Cincinnati currently is tied for first in the Big East Conference and could go to a BCS bowl. TCU is at 9-2 and was two missed field goals away from ALSO potentially going to a BCS bowl. Texas played no one in non conference and then the conference schedule is the same except we played Kansas, K-State, and Nebraska in the North and Texas played Kansas, Mizzou, and Colorado.

Not that one either

Link (http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/polls/119)

Texas - 2
OU - 19

Nice try. Texas has played better competition than OU and beat OU head to head. There is no way OU should be ranked higher that Texas.

if it comes down to a 3 way tie for the big 12 south, i believe texas would play missouri for the big 12 championship....

if texas were to win that, it would be texas vs winner of alabama/florida....

if texas were to lose, it would probably be tech or ou vs winner of alabama/florida...


i think the big 12 south is good enough one of those teams almost has to be in the national championship vs the winner of the sec....

You convienently left out that OU also played 9-2 TCU and 7-2 Cincinatti in non conference and UT best non conference win was over 7-3 Rice and 4-6 Arkansas.

The fact that everyone is over looking is that the computer doesn't care what the margin of victory is, it only cares about whether you win or lose. The computer does take in to consideration your strength of schedule. Up till now UT schedule has been stronger but it will weaken by playing Baylor , Kansas, and A&M the last three games. OU's schedule strength will increases drastically by playing Tech and OSU in it's last two games. UT's lead over OU in the BCS polls is already very slight in percentage points so it is very likely that if OU beats Tech and OSU the computer will vote them higher than UT. The only other factor that could keep UT above OU is if they blowout both Kansas and A&M and the two humans polls vote them much higher than OU and is factored into the BCS poll.

As for me, I'm hoping Tech wins out, Florida St. beats Florida, and then Florida beats Alabama and the final BCS standings will be Tech #1 and Texas #2. Lets see what happens then. Will they allow to teams from the same conference play in the championship game:2thumbsup

i didnt conveniently leave them out, he (cshscougar08) noted that their (ut and ou) conference schedules were the same except for the teams from the north that they played, so i highlighted the records of the teams that both had played from the north.....

funny but Texas has to win out and hope for OU to beat TEch but to also win out. BEcause if OU beats tech but loses to OK St, then TECH has the tie breaker. IF its a three way tie I think that Texas has to make a statement in the Kansas game this week and in the A&M game. B/c if they barely get by Kansas then OU will jump them and they will get into the championship game kill MIssouri and then play Florida.

ITs going to be fun to watch regardless of who gets in!!!

I couldn't agree more. This whole this team has to win, but so does this team and this team has to lose is just darn fun!!!!! Especially when your team is involved with it.

Wow talk about jumping all over something!!! Gah I only felt that OU's SOS was better than Texas'. I didn't insult your mothers or something! Geeeeezzzz. . . . . We'll see what happens next week. That's going to decide everything. Literally pretty much.

Texas plays Rice every year. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it is a bad thing. Last year Arkansas beat the eventual BCS champs LSU and ended up 8-5. I don't consider Arkansas a walk.

Ok that middle one is based on when you played who. I agree that Texas had the most difficult stretch of games in the country BY FAR this year. But overall, with non conference included, I do believe that it's about the same between the two. TCU and Cincy are no pushovers. Texas had Arkansas and that's it and they aren't panning out too well.

This year playing Rice was actually a good thing but the computer doesn't recognize the word Arkansas nor does it have respect for it's past. This year Arkansas sucks, haven beat only Louis. Monroe, Western Ill. , Tulsa, and a crappy Auburn. Only 8-1 #23 ranked Tulsa is any good. So this year I would say Arkansas is a walk.

Don't misunderstand me. I would love for Texas to say ahead of Oklahoma, but to many people are looking through burnt orange glasses and are only looking at the fact that they beat OU. If thats all that matters then Tech should never be ranked below UT if they lose only one game.

(if they lose) Beating a top 5 team at a neutral site by 10 is better than beating a top 5 team on a last second play at home. I know I'm splitting hairs, but it gripes me that people say that OU should definitely be ahead of Texas.

Now I don't think it will happen, but what if OU stomps Tech by 21 at home? Then that changes everything. We'll just have to see how things play out.

But if comparing Tech to Texas, you have to look at two things. They both played OSU at home. Texas barely beat them, and Tech donkey stomp them. In the head to head game, all UT fans remember is that they lead for only 1:28 sec. I know stats are for losers but in this game they tell a huge story. Tech dominated UT in every statistical category except for finishing in the red zone. UT took advantage of their "few" red zone chances and Tech had to settle for several FG's. UT also got two scores on big plays, a punt return and 91 yard bomb. True the game is 60:00 minutes but UT fans seem to forget the first 58:00 minutes of this game they were getting their head handed to them. :D

OU is already ahead of Texas in the Coach' pole. Winning out will only increase the votes in the pole in the favor of OU. In the end, OU's SOS will also probably be higher because of the wins against TCU and Cincy. In this scenario the top three teams will each have one loss to each other. There can be no argument made for which team goes because they beat each other. That being said, I think OU loses one of the next two games and Texas Tech plays for the Big 12 Championship game.

OU is going to get beat something like 56 to 45 by Tech in Norman so it really doesn't matter who else they played or what the margin of victory was. A 2 loss OU team is not going to the BCS.

just a thought

What if Florida loses at #19 Florida State or #25 South Carolina and then beats Alabama in the SEC championship and Tech and Texas win out. That would likely leave Tech and Texas at 1 and 2 in the BCS.

Besides the Tech game, UT really hasn't done much. And UT lost the Tech game, so...

Seeing as TTech and Texas play the same South opponents and the differnce in north was

TTech played K-State on road/Texas played Colorado on road

Texas played Mizzou at home/TTech Nebraska at home

Both play Kansas on road


Texas got to play two top 12 teams at home, one on road one nuetral

TTech played two top 12 teams at home, and now one on road

Both beat a #1 team( and you can argue that was easier for Tech since it was at home)

Texas beat their #1 team by 10..Tech won on last second play(not that it really matters, just showing it as a point of this debate)

so not sure how you can say Texas schedule is nothing while TTech is harder...to me basically a wash

Link 1 is a relflection on how easy of a schedule they have left to play, which is why Texas SOS will weaken over the next three weeks and OU's and Tech's will strengthen.

It realy only affects UT and OU. Tech holds their own destiney and if they lose there out of the National championship picture, but both UT and OU could be at the mercy of the polls for there hopes and the SOS may come into play.

Actually Link 1 is projected for the remainder of the schedule. In any case, it is laughable for someone to say that Texas has a weak SOS. Even if they go down some they still have played one of the toughest schedules in the country. I can't remember a team playing 4 consecutive top 11 teams...ever.

I always thought using the 'coach's pole' would get you fired...

Pretty much every team in the Big 12 South will have played one of the toughest schedules when it's all said and done. Having played Missouri gives Texas and Baylor a slightly tougher schedule. Baylor's schedule looks tougher than anybodys to me, especially their non conferense schedule.

Link 1 is for the remainder of the schedule, which I can understand since UT hasnt beat A&M in two years.
Link 2 is dated June 22 so that has no relevance.

Funny TXbroadcast forgot to factor in Florida Atlantic, UTEP, Rice and U of Ark (4-6).

None the less one reason UT's schedule is up there is because they played at Tech, and lost.

2 FCS schools, SMU (1-9 and only win came against an FCS school not an FBS school) and a 5-4 team out of the WAC in Nevada isnt exactly murders row.
