    I expect this to be over by the first quarter.

    Style points dont matter so much for OU a win on the road versus a top 15 team is impressive regardless of what the score is.

    If you UT struggles with aTm wins by 7 or 10 or something like that they have no chance in the human polls.

    Good thing for UT is aTm is so bad that they can get amped up all they want and it will still be a miracle if aTm covers the spread.

    Right, Aggies would never stoop so low.

    Seriously. I can't stand the fact that aggy can talk so much **** but when they have a crappy season they get so offended when you make fun of their sorry ass team and players.

    Doesn't Texas go to the Big 12 title game if UT wins, OU wins and Texas Tech loses due to UT beating OU?

    You are correct just like if OU loses and Tech UT wins. Tech is in the big 12 title game b/c of the h2h

    Basically the big 3 are all rooting against each other starting tommorw.

    Not necessarily. There are some people that believe that if OU wins in convincing fashion over OSU that they will be ranked higher in the BCS standings, thus securing themselves a spot in the Big 12 title game over UT.

    Scratch that. I misread your post. Yes, UT would go if Tech lost because of the head-to-head tiebreakers.

    Unfortunatley it doesn't even have to be convincing, if OU beats OSU by an margin they should go ahead of Texas in the BCS (since Texas has a minicule lead over OU right now and a win would help OU's strength of schedule) and if all 3 had a tie, the BCS tie breaker would go to OU.

    Frankly I don't care about the Big 12 championship, even if OU makes it to the Big 12 championship there's a chance they'll lose to Missouri opening the door for Texas to go to the BCS championship - the only championship that matters.

    Right. If Tech loses, and OU/UT both win, UT goes to the conference championship no matter what the rankings are. BCS ranking only determine who goes if there is a 3 way tie.

    The option attack gave Texas problems. That is gone. Our Dline gave Texas fits. That is gone. I wouldn't be surprised to see McGee play significant minutes or even start this game.

    Mark my words! Texas WILL NOT [SIZE=-3]cover the spread, 35.5pts[/SIZE]

    These threads remind me of why in the end I want Texas to lose. The funny thing is, I actually like their team and enjoy watching them play.

    Hey though, I guess at least we weren't made into an STD in the thread title.

    with muschamp being locked in (unlike the last two years where there was a flux at the DC spot), i expect the defense to be absolutely BRUTAL.

    colt 45 makes aggy pay for "cart mccoy" by throwing for 4 tds and running for 2 before he gets pulled in the 4th quarter. john chiles throws for another td in garbage time.

    I'm hoping my Ags can pull out a game like we did against Texas Tech earlier this year where we were ahead of them at halftime, and waited until the 2nd half to suck. That'd be nice, but I'm not thinking it will happen.

    Would be nice to lose respectably though.

    The best part about this game is that it is the last one. This was the toughest season to watch ever.

    This is the only chance that the Aggies have to redeem their season, but they are simply not good enough to do it. UT by 30+.

    This is a total trap game for UT. I believe that A&M threw their entire season on purpose in order to concentrate on and surprise the Longhorns in this ONE game. It's a grand conspiracy the likes college football has never seen, orchestrated by Mike Sherman. You just watch; A&M is going to storm out like it's 1998 all over again. Sherman is a absolute GENIUS. Like McCain, he's got UT right where he wants them.
