BCS Rankings

And how the hell does Utah jump over Texas Tech.. This systems blows more than Jenna Jameson in her prime...
 
At this point I think we will see OU vs. Florida in the NC.

Bama vs. Ohio St in the Sugar Bowl.

Texas vs. USC in the Fiesta Bowl.

Penn St vs. Oregon St in the Rose Bowl.

Utah vs. Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl.

Utah is undefeated and they sure as hell haven't lost by 40+ on prime time national TV.

I told y'all for a whole week that if Tech lost they were going to fall like a rock. They did.

As Lee Corso would say:

In the last couple of games, OU and Florida have just been padding stats and running up the score.

They are playing better than anyone else right now and that's what matters to human voters.

Texas isn't playing any worse than them and Texas beat one of them by 10 points. Next.

Except that Utah has a history of being successful in BCS games. Hawaii doesn't.

That is working for them.

In the end, it doesn't matter where Tech is ranked unless they are in front of either OU or UT.

No matter if they are #5 or #25 they are still headed to the Cotton Bowl.

Look, I am a HUGE Texas fan. I have watched every single game since I was just a little kid.

But use your eyes. We should have beat Tech. We didn't.

They should have beat Tech. They did more than that. They embarrassed them.

OU is on fire and I wouldn't want to give them a rematch right now cuz I don't think we could win.

OU loses to OK state and Tech beats Baylor, Tech goes to the Big 12 title game right? Texas would then need Tech to lose to Mizzou to have any chance of the BCS championship game. Its not looking good for the Horns. Its a flawed system with a fictional national championship.

The argument here is between 2 teams, Texas and OU. OU should have beaten Texas but they didn't. They got their asses handed to them by 10 points. End of conversation.

Not necessarily.

Texas is far enough ahead that they could get into the NC game even if Tech wins the conference.

No. It's between three teams. They all have the same record.

I wish I could say that beating OU on a neutral field was enough. But it's not. The ENTIRE body of work has to count, not just the game we want to count. Unless you propose that Ole Miss should be ranked higher than Florida cuz they won the head to head...

Unless Tech loses to Baylor then OU is going to the Big XII champ game.

If OU loses to OSU, Tech goes to the Big XII Champ game vs Mizzou due to the tie breaker. A win over Mizzou should push Tech over Texas in the BCS, and into the National Championship game against the SEC winner. Only way UT gets in is with OU(then #2) losing to OSU, and Tech losing to Mizzou or OU beaitng OSU and then losing to Mizzou.

BTW, you don't think Texas would dominate Tech in Austin in front of a fired up crowd? I do.

Hell yes I do.

We played our worst two quarters of the entire season in that first half.

We are better than them and we squandered it. We have to live with the consequences.

No, when talking about the BCS rankings it's between 2 teams. Tech isn't even the conversation now since they are #7. The Big XII championship obviously means little.

Not necessarily. That is the natural assumption, but they are way too far behind.

They would have to jump USC, Utah, and the SEC championship game loser before they could jump Texas.

I hope so. I would love to see us in the Champ Game.
 
I think Texas is in a tough spot. I have no idea what they would need to get into the big 12 champ game, or the NC game at this point.

If Tech loses to Baylor then it is a two-way tie between Texas and OU.

Texas wins that based on head to head.

ah, I see your logic now. The BCS rankings only play in a three way tie in which there is an equal head to head amongst the teams.

But Texas still must beat down A&M. We cant just assume a W and then fall flat like we have the past couple of years.

Wouldn't that be ironic?

Can we please just come into this game and beat them down like we should?

We always play down to their level in this game. This is their Super Bowl. They will be ready.

Here is what it is:
1. Texas MUST beat Texas A&M. This is a must win for any scenario to win out.

2. Baylor Beats Tech. Then even if OU beats OSU, Texas owns the tiebreak against OU.

or

2. OU Beats OSU and loses to Mizzou. If this happens, Texas would go to the Natl Championship.

I think our Defense has been very flat the past couple of years and let Javorski Lane push his way through. I expect Mr. Muschamp to have his D fired up.

On top of that:

If OU loses to Okie St and Tech goes to the Big XII championship game....Mizzou beating Tech would get us in the NC.....and even if Tech wins there is no guarantee they would pass us (I don't prefer the last option).
 
Thanks guys.

As far as aTm, we are going to crush them. Will Muschamp has been preparing for them for 2 weeks and will dismantle their offense. Texas' offense will get its points by passing all over them. Then the running game will finish out in the 2nd half.

I'm glad somebody is watching the games & unbiased b/c Hook 'em is crazy if he honestly believes UT is playing on the same level as OU right now. Oklahoma has been crushing their opponents since losing to UT. & 10 pts is hardly "handing someone their butts".

UT still has a very good shot to get in the NC...OSU isn't a given for OU. Stillwater is gonna be rocking just like Norman was & at the very least i expect OSU to give them a game for a half.......of course i expected that from tech too.

They are both blowing out teams now. The bottom line is who won when they played each other?

The fact that we are even having conversations like this is the reason I am an NFL fan first and will never take college that seriously. Just think how messed up the NFL would be if they had a system like this.

I guess I would be happy because the Giants would have just taken over the #1 spot, or would they? They did lose to a bad Browns team a few weeks ago who lost to the Texans today. However Tennessee got blown out at home.
 
Sadly no chance of my Trojans making the Title Game:foottap:

Hopefully they will play Texas and I can win some money off of some of the Burt Orange faithful
 
definitely seeing Florida vs. whichever Big XII team in the title game

i'm officially on the playoff bandwagon now

What if Texas loses to A@M, OSU beats OU, and Tech loses to Mizzou in the Big 12 championship game? And you think there's no chance....:mshadows:

(I honestly don't even know if that would be enough but felt like throwing it out there)

Doubt they beat out a 1 loss USC. If Bama loses the SEC championship, like many are predicting, and all of the stuff I mentioned above happens they probably still have a better case to play in the championship than USC. This is fun to think about but I have a feeling in the end the only team that will have a legit beef will be one of the Big 12 teams, likely Texas.
 
Strength of Schedule:
1. Virginia
2. Duke
3. Wake Forest
4. North Carolina St
5. Texas
6. Georgia
7. Arkansas
8. Washington
9. Miami
10. North Carolina

19. Texas Tech
26. Oklahoma
30. USC
31. Florida
52. Penn St
65. Alabama
73. Utah
 
a good team is going to be left out

Utah was in sixth, but the Utes are just waiting to find out what BCS game they’ll play in.

Utah finished its perfect regular season with a 48-24 victory against BYU on Saturday that gave the Utes the Mountain West Conference championship.

Teams from the MWC and four other conferences without an automatic bid to the BCS earn a guaranteed spot in the four big-money bowl games by finishing in the top 12 of the final BCS standings. Utah is safe.

That means Boise State, which is in ninth place, is probably out of the BCS mix, even if the Broncos remain undefeated. Boise State would be eligible for an at-large bid, but that isn’t likely.

Eighth-place Penn State locked up the Big Ten’s BCS spot and is likely heading to the Rose Bowl.

Oregon State, in 17th place, could be next to earn a BCS bid, taking the Pac-10’s automatic spot in the Rose Bowl if it beats Oregon on Saturday.

Sixteenth-place Cincinnati is also a win away from locking up a BCS bid and its first Big East title. The Bearcats face Syracuse at home on Saturday.

UT looks like they've lost their swagger...

They're letting inferior opponents hang around for a half before they remember "oh yeah, we're supposed to beat them by 30..". It's like they've been in a lull since losing to tech, while OU is essentially putting games away at half time & have been about as dominant as Florida has been since they lost to UT. They've put up no less than 58 pts on their last 4 opponents & that didn't change this past saturday.... no way UT is playing on the same level right now.
 
Am I the only one that thinks Alabama @#1 is a joke? Anyway there are going to be some great bowl games.
