they sure weren't on defense...

I ccan still see Tech making it to the title game honestly... chances are they'll drop to 5 maybe? OU can lose AT OKState, then Tech can win the confrence and go in... I can see it happening...

Sure, they can make it to the Big 12 Championship, but no way they get invited to the national championship if they win.

Tech shouldn't have even lost that game, OU was just pissed of and wanted payback.

Ummm... they shouldnt even have lost a 65-21 beatdown that was never even close? feeling delusional today? still drunk?

Oh, didn't you know they had a game against OU?:doh:

I mean Harrell is the best QB in the nation and Crabtree is the best by far reciever in the nation.

OU SUCKS! I hate em' with a passion.

I can agree with you..OU does suck. I will give you Crabtree being the best receiver in the country, but Harrell isn't even the best QB in the Big 12. He is a system QB.

There is no way in the world they will be invited to the national championship.

Tech doesn't deserve to go, I mean they collapsed like 10-0 teams never do.

Crabtree is my favorite all around college player.

One person I hate is Sam Bradford, i'm not sure what it is about him:thinking:

Say the Pokes win next week and we do go on to the Big 12 Championship, best case I would think is the Sugar or perhaps Fiesta. Either way, this season ended up panning out as I thought it would at the start, but getting stomped isn't going to help our rankings. The pollsters are loving this because they can move up USC now. I won't be suprised to see us behind 2 other 1-loss teams in Penn State and USC. As a Tech fan you really can't complain about the season overall. We didn't lose to somebody we should beat, and we won the games we should. I'm assuming we beat Baylor, but they're pretty good this year and even though they aren't going to make a bowl game, they did beat ATM by more than we did, and are playing for pride. They should really be a good team next year. Last night we just got completely out played and out coached in all aspects of the game. My hat is off to the Sooners on this one. They came to play and I think we didn't. I think we had 1 week too long to think about this one. Overall I still say this is the best year Tech Football has ever had and is really going to help out our recruiting down the road, assuming Leach doesn't leave. He's worked on this team for 10 years and is now, I feel, on the cusp of being a power in the Big 12. I sure hope he stays around.

Yeah, but at the same time isn't every qb a "system qb" when you really think about it? Check out some film on him and you'll see he makes some very impressive throws that not a lot of college qb's can make. You can throw around the "system qb" thing all day, but I think he's a better player than he gets credit for. It really doesn't matter now though, as Florida is straight up murdering anybody in their way and Tebow will win the Heisman again this year.

Tebow has a real chance of 2 Heismans and 2 Natl Championships even if he comes out this year. I think that he will be back. Gators D next year will be sick as they are all coming back with the exception of Spikes at MLB.

Harrell for sure and Crabtree most likely are gone, right? If I were Leach I would totally jump at Tennessee or Washington...his stock can only go down after this season. Strike while the iron is hot...:thinking:

If Leach wanted to go anywhere it should have been UCLA or Miami. Both play in weak conferences and he could have had a huge impact immediately. Tennessee plays in the SEC where you have a tough game every week.

As a Texas fan, I like Leach and hope he stays at Texas Tech. He is by far the most entertaining coach in the country and continues to be really competitive at Lubbock.

I really don't think you guys are looking at this right or something...

If Tech wins the B12 championship that would mean UT didn't and Oklahoma lost to OK State...

Let's say going into the final week or the reg season, the BS rankings are as follows

1.Bama
2.Fl
3.OU
4.UT
5.USC
6.Tech
7.PSU

OU loses to OKlite, you may be looking at this going into the confrence championships

1.Bama
2.FL
3.UT
4.USC
5.Tech
6.PSU
7.OU

after championships, with Tech Winning the Big 12 Championship

1.Bama OR FL
2Tech

they won't put UT ahead of Tech because of the head to head result and the fact Tech just went 1-loss and won a confrence championship, plus Nebraska gave everyone a reason not to vote non-confrence champions up top so they can get into the title game and get their a's spanked

I don't see USC getting in right now, really don't... and there won't be a rematch between the two SEC teams...

I mean really, why is it so far-fetched that Tech could make the title game? I don't see it being that big of a "No way"

Now, personally, I want to see UT in it :D

I don't know but I would bet some serious cash that Tech won't get in...i'd like em' to but they done screwed up last night.

I see what you are saying Gobbla, but most people seem to think that even if Tech does win the Big12 CC then they are still out due to losing BAD late in the season. They aren't someone that the media is in love with and will be left out of the NCG.

Can everyone please stop talking about Tech now? Season over..sucks it had to end for yall, but was just a matter of time.

The facts:
1) Crabtree is an absolute stud
2)Harrell will not be mentioned in Heisman talks ever again
3)Tech is not going to a BCS bowl
4)They just lost 65-21 on primetime television

they did screw up, but all they have to do is win and have OU lose, win the confrence championship and then I believe their odds of getting in are better than the odds of NOT getting in... seriously... I don't see how you put anyone else in if this happens...

IF Tech wins the b12 CG then they will play the winner of UF/ALA for the NC. The system is always manipulated to pair conference champions together. My bet is UF v. OU assuming they win out.

Texas or OU win the Big 12 championship, they go to the NCG. Assuming Okie Lite beats OU and Tech wins Big 12 CC my guess is that USC or Texas scoots into the number 2 spot

Based on how such things are determined, that list is all that matters.

True, Tech beat UT on a last play TD, but on the other had the Horns beat a team that sheetcanned Tech last night. We'l see how it plays out...:thinking:

God Bless Jim Mora...PLAYOFFS???? DID YOU SAY PLAYOFFS?!?!?

Gobbla2001

11-23-2008, 03:04 PM

if this was any other year I might understand them not getting in... but look who else is up top, I think the top teams work in TTs favor, #1 because two of 'em play in a confrence championship against each other, which automatically eliminates one of them from the NC game... #2 they have a head to head win against one that will not win a confrence championship if OU loses next week and TT wins the confrence championship... #3, as I just mentioned, OU losing...

no, it's for sure not a lock, and there may be a more deserving team (hopefully they feel UT is :D ), but it's not out of the picture... the BcS has done far worse...

Unless UF/ALA/USC ALL lose a game, there is no way that you will see a b12 South rematch! In 2006 they voted UF ahead of Michigan to avoid an OSU/UM rematch. Outside of Texas and Oklahoma the rest of the world wants to compare teams that do not historically get to play each other. Put money on b12 v. SEC!

God help us if that happens, but I think that would be the easiest way for the pollsters to get USC to go to the show against Florida/Bama, with, more than likely, Mizzou/OU getting BCS bids and UT perhaps an at large. I don't see Mizzou getting left out of the BCS if they win the Big 12 CG.

Automatic bid if the Tigers win. Remember Kansas State a few years ago. They smoked OU in the CC game, and then OU still got to go to the national championship game. If you cant remember how that game turned out, just think about OU's history in bowl games over the last 5 or 6 years.
