OU win's Big 12 South

[hogs25]

wow

[hogs25]

I can't find a link for nothing but it was just announced on Fox and they had #1 Bama and #2 OU. 

[HogNuttz]

Frick yeah.


That wind from the South is the collective pissing and moaning of 20,000,000 Longhorn fans.

They may still end up in the NC game though. If Florida beats Bama it still may not be enough for them to overtake Texas and we end up with UT and OU in NC game.

[ronmahony]

That's kinda weird, TT didfn't get much respect for beating the number 3 team, and being in a 3 way tie. looks like they should be 2-3-4

Highly unlikely. The winner of the SEC Championship game will be #1 or #2 when its all said and done. The winner of the Big 12 will be the other one.

Computers will love Florida if they beat 'Bama, as will a bunch of pollsters.

Why do we love CFB so much? This is crap (no matter how much I hate the shorthorns). OU has a very poor defense. UF will kick the crap out of them in the NC game for their 5th straight BCS loss. What is the infatuation between Stoops and the Harris poll?

[Bryan (CHF)]

Even if it's Missouri?

Oh, no, then it will be Texas. I was just making the point the final will be SEC vs Big 12, not SEC-SEC or Big 12-Big 12

[hogs25]

If they don't kill the BCS now it's never going to happen.  Nobody understands it and nobody cares to understand but a few geeks.  Could you imagine a Final 4 in football.  It'd make the basketball FF look like Ned and the first reader.

[Slacker]

I loath Texas, but I have to say I think they got hosed.

We will see, because Ole piss beat UF at their crib then OU has a chance in a netural site.

Have not watched must football this year or in your life have ya? Florida will have more problems with Saban than with OU.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Crap, now I've got to get on my Big10 soapbox.  It looks again like an undeserving Ohio State will make the BCS.  I'll bet it's the Fiesta against the Horns.

Got it!

It's just hard to say "Texas Got Screwed"...but it's true.

[hawgwash]

Not to worry guys, help is on the way.  Obama is gonna fix this thing by getting a playoff system in place.  Just as soon as he wraps up a couple of wars and takes care of a little economic situation we have now.

You do know Texas passed OU in the Harris poll despite OU winning against a solid ranked team on the road right?  If you call that infatuation in favor of Stoops, I'd hate to see an infatuation with Brown.

Yeap. They will by pass the other mid-majors ranked ahead of them to pull Ohio State in.

About time, after 6 weeks. An ass kickin is an ass kickin. OU should not be ahaed of Texas because they put 100 points on this years Boise State.

[hogs25]

Even if it's Missouri?

If MO wins it'll be SEC vs Texas or USC.  But I remember a story on ESPiN a while back that said that no team that didn't win their conference championship could not play for the national championship.  I guess we'll find out.  USC still has to play UCLA.

The BCS hasn't wrote that rule in yet, even though many want them too. I think if the scenario plays out, we could hear a bigger cry for it in the offseason while they are doing their "tweaks". I doubt USC can make up the ground to be #2.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I think that's unlikely, but it's been my little conspiracy threory over the past week or so that the BCS might put both OU and TX in the NC game.  Especially now that there will be a perception that TX has been screwed.  That they should play again to finally settle it.  Remember how so many were advocating an OSU/MI rematch for the NC game a few years back?  What a travesty that would have been.

I couldn't agree more.

If Alabama opens up a 14-0 lead on Florida - the game isn't over.

If Florida opens up a 14-0 lead on Alabama - the game is probably over.


The two best teams in the country right now are Florida and USC.    Texas is 3rd best in my mind - and the idea that OU goes to the BIG12 title game over a team that's TIED with them and BEAT them head to head is silly.

If there were a true playoff, we'll say 16 teams, here is how they'd be seeded:

1 - Alabama
16 - Georgia

8 - Penn State
9 - Boise State

4 - Texas
13 - Cincinnati

5 - USC
12 - Ball State (the horror, the horror!)

3 - Florida
14 - Oklahoma State

6 - Texas Tech
11 - TCU

7 - Utah
10 - Ohio State

2 - Oklahoma
15 - Georgia Tech



Wouldn't that be a great way to finish out the season?

Shorten the season back to 11 games - make conference finals the weekend of Thanksgiving and then start a 4 week tournament the following weekend. 

And start letting all teams, bowl bound or not, to get the extra practices.

At this years Boise State when a True Freshman safety dropped a game clinching Int.

[judgeroyswine]

Since I can't change what these National Dunderheads have done, I will look to the future.

And nothing makes me smile more than the thought of OU humiliated on the national stage.

I love watching Stoop's halftime interview with a female sideline reporter as OU is getting their ass handed to them. Priceless. No matter if it was LSU, USC, West Virginia or Boise, he was a and is a bitch.

It was your argument.  Don't try to argue the other side now.

How can we be certain that if Fla wins the CC, they will jump Texas.  OU hammered the #2 team, TT, and didn't jump Texas at that point.  What if Fla beats Bama barely and Bama drops but Fla doesn't move up.  We'd be looking at OU/TX lined up for the NC game.  Also, remember when an over powering OU met K. ST. in the Big 12 championship in  03 and K.St. beat them like 37-7.  Truly isn't no team in the NC quite yet. 

[hogs25]

Just noticed that the AP has

#1 Bama
#2 Florida

I'm glad we're friends with ESPN again.  They know who the big dogs are.  I bet Texas fans are going ape hit.

[HogNuttz]

Alabama if they win is the only lock for the NC.

This is the point I've been trying to make too.

Right now, there are only 2 teams guaranteed to get in the NC game if they win out...AL and OU.  FL is extremely likely to get in if they win out, but not guaranteed.

Beating the #1 undefeated team in the country will at least get them #2 in the polls. Florida is 0.8900 in the BCS and Texas is 0.9200. Since Texas is done, they can't improve their resume, Florida can.

How many times does stuff like this have to happen before the ugly truth of the BCS is finally totally undeniable?

NCAA football is officially a very bad joke.

It doesn't matter who you beat on the field.

The only thing that matters is how many ESPN idiots want to run their tongues up and down your jersey.

College football is officially a very bad joke.....AGAIN.

No credibility...none.

And just wait until the Southern Cal hype gets going good.....let USC beat UCLA, and the very same idiots that have brought you OU as the Big 12 South champs will find a way to get the Men of Toy (the "r" is missing on purpose) in the so-called National Title game, too.

This is stupid. Wrong. Disgusting. Idiotic.

[regi]

My arguement is 45-35, and how the media led by ESPN has made OU's thrashing of  the Big 12's version of OleMiss (TT) somehow more important than getting your ass kicked on a nuetral field.

Actually, the ESPN idiots I listened to last night were running their tongues up and down a Texas jersey.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Yes, just about every talking head I've heard, ESPN or not, have continually been Texas leans.  That's why I'm surprised OU made the leap.

[oldbooniehog]

I believe it was Kirk Herbstreidt who said last night, "I'll be shocked...SHOCKED if OU doesn't jump ahead of Texas."

[ua_hogs]

I believe it was Kirk Herbstreidt who said last night, "I'll be shocked...SHOCKED if OU doesn't jump ahead of Texas."

he also stated that he believed the head to head match up between the two should come into play, stating that texas deserved to be ahead of OU, but that he would be shocked if it actually happened. 

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I believe it was Kirk Herbstreidt who said last night, "I'll be shocked...SHOCKED if OU doesn't jump ahead of Texas."

He certainly did, but just before he said that, he gave his opinion that OU shouldn't jump TX based on the head to head.  To me, his opinion was that TX should stay ahead of OU, but that he still thought OU would get the nod anyway.

Didn't OU lead that game until about halfway through the 4th quarter?  Hardly an ass kicking.

[ua_hogs]

i just dont see how anyone that doesnt believe in a playoff system can seriously argue that the season is a virtual playoff.  tell that to texas who knocked off OU but doesnt have a chance.  i hate texas but they got screwed and so did college football fans.

[OklaU]

Boy a lot of hating going on.  It was a 3-way tie that was broken by the BCS ranking.  This had nothing to do with national picture it was means to break the Big 12 3-way tie.  Regardless of what some may say about Texas Tech being out of the picture...you can't put them out of the picture...in the end it was a 3-way tie.

I know Texas won head to head.  But that's now the system works because it was a 3-way tie.

the system is broke, thats the problem.

In this case I disagree.  It was the only means to break a 3-way tie.
