[NCAA Football] Texas vs. Sherman's Worst Nightmare

Tech is dead as far as the NC goes, they will not be able to make up the ground from the OU beating.

It is now down to OU and UT.

yeah.. but at least that guy actually made a play.. all whatshisface did last night was get rocked.

 

If Tech goes to the conference title game and wins it, it will be difficult to have Texas leapfrog them given the head to head between the two.

 

It would be Tech that has to leapfrog Texas.

 

BB (as is bursting your bubble)

UT is dead for the NC if either OU OR Tech beats Mizzou.

Sorry Charlie.

This is part one of the cycle. Fatty talks arrogantly about subjects he knows nothing of.

Stay tuned for part two: Fatty is proven wrong.

This, of course, is all the prelude to the final chapter: Fatty gets pissed that someone calls him out.

 

Hmmm... The only part that is remotely debatable should OU lose and Tech beats Missouri is why UT fans are up in arms!

There is no debating this, as much as y'all like to. Right now, Tech is 3rd, and will remain there should OU win.

However, if OSU wins, a whole new can of worms opens.

We shall see.

But, to all the UT fan's, right now Tech is definitely 3rd after the OU loss.

It all depends on Stillwater.

 

I'm just curious as to how you think Tech will jump every one loss team in front of them because they win the Big 12 Championship game.

Also, due to your team's decision to play not one but TWO 1-AA schools, there is no way that your team makes the BCS title game unless you have fewer losses than ANY team in the country.

The following teams would make the title game with one loss over Texas Tech:

- OU
- UT
- Bama
- Florida
- USC
- Penn State

I'm not sure why you think there's an automatic spot in the title game for the winner of the Big 12 Championship Game just because they won the championship game.

If Tech goes to the Big 12 CG, win or lose they will be ranked behind Texas after unless they down Mizzou by 90 points and hold them to negative total yards.

 

I thought they made a rule saying if you didn't win your conference you can't play the title game. Did they not make that rule recently? Maybe I dreamed it.

If Tech goes on to win the Big 12 title, I must admit, I'm not sure what will happen. This would, by default, entail that OU would lose and Bama and/or Florida will take on a loss. They could make the argument that they beat Texas AND they won the big 12 title. Their computer ranking would some help with a victory over Mizzou (although we'll see if beating Baylor brings it down first.)

However, it will take a big jump in the polls. And, I think they'll only be able to make up so much ground after playing TWO non-FBS teams. And, will voters be able to look past them losing by 44 on the road? A loss is a loss to the computers, but not to voters.

As a Texas fan, I'll admit that I hope it doesn't happen. But, it has me a little concerned. You never know what voters will remember and/or prioritize. That's part of the jacked up nature of this system- there are no "rules" on how you should vote in the polls. No criteria whatsoever. Which is why Bama, Florida, and OU are all getting first place votes right now.

 

If Tech ends up winning the BXII Championship, it means OU lost to Okie St. so take them off the list. Tech is already ahead of Penn State in the BCS so no need to leapfrog them. Florida likely loses to Alabama in the SEC Title Game which would put them at 2 losses. That leaves Alabama in the Title game and UT and USC ahead of Tech for the other spot. If Tech went to the BXII Championship game, I think they'd leapfrog USC. They're already ahead in the CPU polls and I think the human voters would follow suit, especially if Oregon St. wins this week and denies USC the Pac10 championship. That would probably bring the BCS standings to 1)Bama 2)Texas 3)Tech with maybe Utah mixed in somewhere. Outside shot Tech leapfrogs UT as well but I can see a scenario where in the final poll, human voters would put Tech above Texas because of the head to head win and conference championship.

Of course, if the Cowboys don't beat the Sooners then this is all moot.

 

Tech would sell out a BCS game. Do you mean TV ratings?

 

A 12-1 Tech team trumps an 11-1 UT team.

That said, I truly believe that if either OU or Tech should lose to Missouri, UT should rightfully belong in the NC. If either defeat Missouri, UT shouldn't be spoken about anywhere other than this thread.

 

I don't think you'll find many people who argue against it from a merit perspective. However, just because it deserves to happen doesn't mean it's going to, and it likely wouldn't in that scenario.

 

Quite possible, and it does merit debate.

 

yep, no debating it whatsoever. no one is debating this... espn, fox sports, SI... everyone is unanimously in agreement except for Texas fans. this isn't being debated anywhere by anyone.

















oh wait, you're an idiot

 

If this is how you think it should go down, I believe you have waived your right to b**** about the head to head with OU. If OU loses and is out of the picture, for Texas to go to the title game would require that the entire country disregard the head to head between the Horns and Tech.

You shouldn't be able to have it both ways. You shouldn't be able to just pick and choose when head to head matters.

 

True if OU beats Mizzou, but if Tech beats Mizzou it won't matter they are too far behind.

Tech is dead, UT has about a 40% chance.

Nope, no such rule exists.
