    After everything, who you do you think earned the right to call themselves Champions?

    I'm about to graduate at UT and I love my horns but you can't ignore that Florida has better wins. It might not be fair that UT didn't get the opportunity but looking at the games, you can't ignore what they accomplished.

    System is stupid but Florida lost at home, UT on road

    UT should of been in that game but it's a toss up if they played each other imo

    I did a Texas homer pick

    How may I tactfully ask you why you have OU and Texas tied at 4 when Texas has one less loss and beat OU on a neutral field?

    By the Big 12's conference's tiebreak rules, Oklahoma is better. They also won one more game this year. Their loss and UT's win even them out.

    Uh, yeah....well according to the Big12 "conference" tiebreak rule, which applies to a THREE WAY tie in the conference that you are applying to a TWO WAY tie out of the conference (which is not really a tie since their records are NOT identical) Oklahoma, sicne it's BCS rank is now lower given the loss to Florida and Texas win over Ohio State, comes out behind, if a BCS poll were to be taken today.

    But nice try. And by nice I mean not nice at all. I mean sh-tty.

    Oklahoma lost to a high ranked opponent. UT beat a lousy Big Ten team that gave them trouble all game.

    Smooches to you too.

    Wrong. According to the Big 12 Tiebreaker, Texas is better because they have the better one loss. OU advanced because of the 3 team tiebreaker, not the 2 team tiebreaker.


    And they don't do that because they believe it's the better team. As said by the Big 12 Commissioner, they put in the team ranked the highest because it has the most likely chance of making to the title game. It's not an issue of evaluation.

    And they had a worse record and are not even tied, and if they were tied they would lose on the tiebreak, as stated above

    OOMP...that's got to hurt.

    Probably the most r****ded thing I've read all day.

    I could care less if you put Texas at #4, but putting Oklahoma tied with them is just plain moronic.

    I'd vote Texas #1 and Baylor in the top 5.

    It'll probably be:
    1. Florida
    2. Utah
    3. USC
    4. Texas
    5. OU

    I wanted it to be:
    1. Utah
    2. Texas
    3. Florida
    4. USC
    5. OU

    This is how I'd put it, too. Utah's undefeated season puts them at number 1, Florida beat OU (as did Texas), so you put them at 2. USC and Texas could switch between 3 and 4, but USC took care of a Big 10 opponent more handily than Texas. And Oklahoma is 5 for being cocky sons of guns.

    Utah by default since you can't deny their amazing season. But deep down I know USC and Florida would crush them.
