New BCS: Texas #13

BCS says Texas would be an UNDERDOG against Boise State!

Star-divide

I knew we would take a plunge, but do the computers know more than us about colt's shoulder?

Computers should be shot
The computers on average also place Rutgers ahead of Ohio State.

Gimme a break.

Any computer ranking that has Rutgers ahead of OSU should be removed from the BCS.

BCS
We have to get serious about the Aggroids...Colt is going to be OK and I'm sure the secondary will pull together for our last 3 games....We have to face the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State, which will be dangerous because the team will have a tough time taking the game seriously...regardless, everybody above us has super tough games coming, OSU/Mich, SoCal/Cal, SoCal/ND, Rutgers/WVA, ARK/LSU,SEC Title Fla/Ark?, my point is half the teams above us are going to lose in the next 3 weeks....WE WILL BE FINE IN THE BCS (although it doesn't matter if we beat aTM & Neb)....WE JUST NEED TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.

Don't be so sure...
I am pretty sure that from here on out, every game will be taken seriously no later than the first series of the game, rather than at the beginning of the second half.

we can pretty much stop caring about this now
the BCS rankings matter for only 2 things.  one is who gets into the national championship game.  that's out now.  the other is whether a non-BCS school gets in (i.e. Boise St).  And if Boise wins out, they're in (since they;re already in the top 12).  

So really, I mean, none of this matters to texas.  Win the next 2 games and we're in the Fiesta Bowl, regardless of where we're ranked.

Are you sure?
Does the Big 12 winner get an automatic birth into a BCS game?  I really don't know.  The whole system confuses me.

Yes
The Big 12 Champion does get an automatice bid to a BCS game.  The Big 12 has an affiliation with the Fiesta Bowl so that is where we will play if/when we win the Big 12.

The Fiesta Bowl
Its ours to lose. Simply beat the Aggies who will be coming to Austin with nothing to lose and everything to gain, and then do the same with Neb and we are in. These are going to be two tough games we can win easily (IF) we play to our potential.

IF....

Thank God Colt gets a week extra to heal up!

Fiesta or Cotton?
Money and BCS prestige aside, would you rather face Boise State or a really good SEC team in the bowl game?

Fiesta gives us a leg up for next year
Pre-season polls like Fiesta bowl winners better than Cotton Bowl winners.  Knock-on-wood.
