if you would have read my other posts you might have seen where i stand as far as TT goes..it's unfortunate that they lost so many spots in the rankings after the loss at norman. last week i said bob stoops was smart for scoring a lot because it looks as if it will help OU. i was just simply refering to the argument between OU and UT. everyone knows that if OU loses this whole argument is out the window......don't see it happening, but you never know..by the rankings right, that is truthfullyTT's only shot, respectfully.

When did I say I know everything? If I knew everything, then I would have at least 100 percent in every class and would know the perfect solution to solve this problem here in the Big XII. I don't think I have either.

That's why we count the score from the TT game too. We are going to count ALL of the scores between the three that are TIED for first.

Style points UT scored 21 points in the 4th quarter last night. OU at A&M? OU fourth quarter points: 0. points in 1-3 quarters: 66. You guys keep leaving Tech out of this thing. Who wins the Big XII south if OU loses to OSU? That's right TT! Not UT! Why? because you lost to them! You can't use head to head in a three way tie!

Florida did win the conference in 06. They beat Arkansas in the Championship game, 38 to 28.

FanOftheGame:

Sorta like many other teams that played in the Championship game that did not win their conference. Like Florida in 06' and Oklahoma in 03' and on and on. BTW, you are wrong in the fact that USC didn't win the conference. With an 8-1 record they will have won the conference and won a split share of the title. It's just that Oregon State at 8-1 also, will go to the Rose Bowl, based on the head-to-head win. BTW, that will be seven conference championships in a row. Either change your handle - or learn something about the game.

If you were looking to instill fear, you missed the mark...but you have earned my respect. I salute you, and thank you for your service, Lt.

As for my pereference for anonymity on this site--it's kind of involved...part business decision (clients of different loyalties...), part a matter of keeping the posts isolated from the perspective--so that they stand or fall on their merits alone (IMO, once you start interjecting personal information, all of your posts are affected--for better or for worse, enhanced or compromised...by the perspective you disclose. The only "perspective" I care to disclose, is that of my orange and blue tint (...though I have let on before that I am a God fearing family man....not much more...).

I assure you however, fear doesn't come into play...

I meant they played like two completely different teams. Against Texas, they played with a passion to get to every ball and dominate Texas while they were still rattled by the crowd. Against Oklahoma, they expected to show up and have the game handed to them. Does this sound like the same team to you?

Ok, maybe I left this part out, but you get 1 point for every 5000 words, so my math is just fine.

i agree mostly, except that the bcs champion should be the whole season champion, not the best now...ut was off this wekk so you cant really compare them to ou right now, they had just beaten kansas{7 and 3 not bad} and ou few games before were against off the radar nebraska and k state{4 and something} not to hard to beat them convincingly

TrueBornSooner, there's a lot riding on this. That is to say, if OK blows out OK St in Stillwater, everything else is arguably moot. If OK wins, but it's within say 4 points, then, in my opinion, it becomes arguable as to whether or not they should meet MO in the Big 12 Championship.

Basis: TX did beat a higher ranked OK on neutral ground, and, though they lost to a highly, albeit lesser ranked TX Tech, it was at TX Tech. OK's epic win against Tech was in Norman. Consider also, that while it is likely OK would have breezed through TX's early schedule, said schedule didn't include a single 1-AA team.

Finally, there's that arguably all-important overall strength of schedule. Currently, the teams OK has played have a combined w/l record of 66-58; likely there will be 4 wins & 4 losses added to each column, or no net change. TX's schedule has a combined record of 75-46. Although their aggregate may change by as many as +2 in the loss column, that's still a combined record of 79-53.

So, in conclusion, I think it can be said, and reasonably so, even if OK wins in Stillwater, TX should go to the Big 12 Championship to meet MO. JMHO.

TT, there's no doubt that I want OU to beat OSU on Saturday, but not so they can jump ahead of Texas, there is no doubt that I hate Texas, but they beat us head up and as I said before, they should should stay at least one ahead of us.............. NOW, thats my opinion only !!

OU_Ron — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:29:33 -0000

I told you people got in a frenzy, the point is, it could happen, as you said the BCS allows for this to happen.....

"...Don't get so offended at the thought of your gators losing..."

I assure you, that's not my motivation. If Bama loses to AU and UF, and UF loses to FSU, we both have 2 losses. If we're both locked out, so be it. But the other team should be a conference champion, unless there are simply no other champs with 1 loss. Penn State or USC (if they win PAC 10); perhaps even an undefeated non-auto-bid BCS team....

...ANYTHING better than an intra-conference rematch. I wouldn't watch it...and I'm sure I'd be far from alone in not bothering to tune in on a Monday night, to see a game we already saw, and which would resolve nothing.

Re. the OU game--exactly...wouldn't that have been a disgrace? In fact, I believe they revamped the system as a result....

Final point: discount it as you will, but there is a STRONG undercurrent against an intra-conference rematch game. If the midwestern-bent media's darling, the Big 10, couldn't pull it off 2 years ago, amidst a shameless media love fest with UM-OSU rematch (due to same undercurrent)--I doubt any other conference could pull it off against a stronger undercurrent.

GO GATORS!!

FOG funny that you bring this up-KSU over OU- that same year Texas beat KSU I was there-That season Texas had one loss- right OU

Easy TampaGator. Don't get so offended at the thought of your gators losing. First of all, last time I checked the Big 12 was not "my conference". Just based on which teams I like vetter than others, I can honestly say I would be pulling for the gators against either UT or OU. But that's just my preference and it doesn't take anything away from UT or OU's argument that they may be better teams. As I have stated in my other posts, I think the Gators would win either of those matchups. But another OU vs UT matchup in any bowl game would be a treat for any fan. Also, I believe OU played in and got spanked in a Bowl game for the NC in the same season that they lost the Big12 title to K-State. Had OU pulled off the win in the NC game, then we would in fact have a National Champion that didn't win their conference. It didn't happen, but the BCS did allow for the possibility for it to happen. As well, if Alabam and Florida lose again before the bowl games,
where would they be ranked? I Alabama, Texas, Florida and Oklahoma are atop the BCS, then a Bama loss and a Florida loss would almost certainly move Texas and OU up in the polls to #1 and #2. I never said it was the right thing, but again....the BCS allows for this to happen. Will it? I doubt it, but it could. And that's all I was pointing out. I'm not a backer of the BCS system and this is just another reason why.

Re: A look at the Big XII resumes

FanoftheGame — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:08:09 -0000

Here's the scenario......

Alabama loses to Auburn and falls out of the top 5

Florida later loses to Alabama in the SEC title game and in turn they fall out of the top 3 spots

Oklahoma beats OSU by 17 in Stillwater, they leapfrog Texas and slide into the #1 spot vacated by Alabama

Texas beats A&M, moves to #2 in the BCS, but loses the chance to lay in the Big 12 Title Game by virtue of OU being ranked higher in the BCS.

Alabama beats Florida and wins the SEC, but only moves up to #4

Florida falls out of the top 5.

OU wins the Big 12 Title game adn stays at #1

Texas is idle, but doesn't slip in the polls due to Bama and Florida being too far back in the points

USC ends up #3 almost by virtue of default, but do not win the Pac-10

In this scenario, the only logical way to keep OU from playing UT in the NC game is for the BCS to allow USC to leapfrog into the #2 spot. If that happened then you would have a team that didn't win their respective conference playing in the National Championship Game.

Now this is all fairly unlikely, but it is possible in the BCS format...................and I don't like it.

We need a playoff system!

Wow, now I'm reminded why I don't come to this site anymore. You've been a Tech hater for a long time. Take your goggles off bud, beating 3 ranked opponents in consecutive weeks is a pretty tough thing to do. Name another school besides UT this year that can make that claim. There's not one to my knowledge.

Tyler_Tech — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:49:26 -0000

I think the best way to settle this 3 way tie is if OU beats OSU on the road. When OU,Tech,Texas, and OSU have played each other the home team has won every time. If OU wins against OSU on the road that is good enough for me to send them to the big XII championship game.
