LOL it's hard to find a good coach.shula,price,franchony,debous, good luck.if I had any advice I would say just go all out with$ and power nick Sabah has complet control of Nama football and the pay of all other football coaches and a unlimated amount of $ for recruting. Yes this is true we had to hit rock bottom first but in Alabama it's all Alabama football that's all we care about just do what ever we have to do to win. In Alabama most everyone gives money to alabamafootball no matter what class your in. I know of people that make 20k a year and give 3k to bamafootball this it true no joke. That's why we have 12national championships and 21sec championships it's bama football around this parts. It the people that make a powerhouse program,just do what ever it takes to win . With the bad coaches and the probation the past ten years have been hard for Bama fans but we held on and fought threw it all. And so did the players . If you truly love your
teams like Bamafans do,your team will allways be in the hunt we will allways strive to be the best. It's your family your church and Alabama football around hear.and that's true it the hole state of Alabama . I coach little kides football 135lbs and have 47 players and everone of them dreams of playing bamafootball.I live in a town of 18k people and one year ago we raised 47,357 dollors for Alabama footballand three thousand people showed up to take it to them.we really care about alabamafootball just think about it no proteams no history in basketball just football,yes auburn is in the state but if you go to Alabama and then go to auburn there is no comparason it's just crazzzy.I give 10%to church,10%taxesand10%to Alabama football.I live off of 60% of what I make ever year if it's just how it is man we have god the family and football that's all no joke.the first think I asked my wife of 23yrs when we meat if she was a alabamafootball fan if she ever
stops being a alabamafootball fan we will not betogether I know this is true. So just to let the people out there know how it is in the state of Alabama that is how it is bamafootball is everything to 95% of this state no joke. So roll on you crimson tide we love you and we will allways be there for. To the death I know this is true in my soul.

I'm sorry. I'm confused. Did I make some indication that "Clemson football is back"? I was actually clarifying that the odds are stacked against us to even make a bowl. The good thing that comes from all of this is that Tommy Bowden is gone. I'm sure you can relate to that, unless of course you were asleep during the whole Mike Shula era at Alabama.

If Oklahoma wins out(if Oklahoma State and Missouri stays ranked), Texas Tech beats Baylor, and Texas wins out...it favors Oklahoma since Texas Tech and Texas plays NO MORE ranked teams. The only way Texas gets in if Texas Tech loses their last 2 and Oklahoma loses 1 more.

For the at large bids follow the money. Head to head, and even BCS standings do not matter. It is a completely a selection by the bowls among eligible teams.

Who will bring more fans and money to the bowl game?

Texas Tech or Texas?

Some exceptions apply for the top 4, where the highest team in the BCS standings would get an automatic qualification.

Tyler_Tech — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:16:47 -0000

yeah but it still does not answer my question...........
At large berths do not always take the higher seeded team. My point is that if OU wins out, it would come down to Texas and TTech for the at large berth, so I do not think you can justify Texas going over us to the Fiesta, because we beat them head to head reguarless of BCS rank.

yeah, that's what I meant !!!! ;-)

Unless a real upset happens, only three games matter for the Big 12's BCS slots.

Texas Tech vs Oklahoma
Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State
Big 12 Championship Game

If Texas Tech wins they will go to the Big 12 championship game.
If Oklahoma wins it will be a three way tie, unless they lose to Oklahoma State or an even greater upset occurs. The team that won head to head of the two that were not upset would go to the Big 12 Championship game. If Oklahoma beats Texas Tech then loses to Oklahoma State Texas Tech would go to the championship game.

In the even of a three way tie at a conference record of 7-1 each, the tiebreaker would be BCS standings.

Current BCS points:
Texas Tech 0.9715
Texas 0.8798
Oklahoma 0.8444

A win over Texas Tech could easily jump Oklahoma over Texas and drop Texas Tech just below Texas, but not below USC. A win over Oklahoma State would seal the deal, putting Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.

Now comes the final part of the equation. If Oklahoma or Texas Tech win out they will likely be in the NC Game. Texas would be ranked higher in the BCS than the loser of the Texas Tech Oklahoma game and would most likely be in the Fiesta Bowl.

What if the South loses the Big 12 championship game? This would put a team from the Big 12 North into the Fiesta Bowl. Texas, if they win out, would be higher than the SEC championship loser, putting them in the National Championship game.

Sorry Tommy, I should have read your post closer, I'm pretty sure you're right......

Re: Which Conferences will fill their Bowl slots.

OU_Ron — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:46:03 -0000

Tommy, it will have to be decided before that " extra game ", the extra game you're referring to is the conference championship, I think it's whoever is ranked higher in the BCS between OU/Tex/TT will play the extra game...if that makes any sense, I'm not sure ;-)

Tyler_Tech:

What is the situation if Oklahoma does beat Texas Tech? What if Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech all finish with one loss (at 11-1)? Who would play for the Big 12 Championship? Does anybody know what the tiebreakers would be? I think that whoever gets to win an extra game is gonna end up with the highest BCS rating. It'll sway some other voters at the end of the last week. Of course, if Tech beats Oklahoma, it'll be a mute point. But, if I'm not mistaken, Oklahoma has the best home record (if it's not USC) of any team over the last several years. It's a hard place to pull off a win.

Re: Which Conferences will fill their Bowl slots.

Tyler_Tech — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:23:20 -0000

I have a question for you both. In the event that OU HAPPENS to win out, and leapfrogs tech and texas. Who do you think is the more likley candidate to get the at large BCS berth. Tech or Texas?? Here is my reasoning.......
Since we beat Texas head to head they would take us, but I have heard alot of other twists as well.....

aVoiceInSC — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:04:52 -0000

Yeah, there's quite a few teams out there that do it. It's a bit ridiculous in a way, since you get credit for beating Idaho, or North Texas, but not for beating the Citadel, or even Appalachian State. I'm not complaining, since Clemson should be able to qualify without counting both, but the rule is a bit absurd. Bowls get to pick who they leave out anyway, so why not leave it up to them? It's probably so that a 6-6 Clemson type team can't go to a bowl game over a 3rd place MAC team or something.
