Best realistic scenario?

PrintWe're all throwing out scenarios here and there but I think I have the best remaining realistic scenario. And it's the only one I am throwing out:
Right now, I can only think that a Big 12 team will face a SEC team in the MNC.
So with that said, here's Texas' best shot:
Texas wins out and looks great doing it.
Texas Tech wins out but loses to Missouri in the Big 12 championship.
A one-loss Florida will likely play an undefeated Alabama in the SEC championship and so the winner of that game will likely be in. I think Florida will win this game.
So Florida vs. Texas!
So there you have it? Is this not our best remaining scenario assuming Tech will not lose to Baylor?
In a 3-way tie, I'd be worried that OU (if they were to win out) would surpass us in the computers and maybe even the polls. Would I want to gamble on that? Sure if that's the only option, but it's not the only option.
We'd be #2 in my scenario. OU would have two losses. Tech will have one loss but their late loss would drop them below us right? Or will we see 2003 all over again with them still playing for the national championship?
USC isn't even in position to win the PAC 10 so I dont think I'd be worried much about them (maybe a little).
Penn State is hurt by the fact that only two teams are playing football in the Big Ten this year (PSU & OSU).
Thoughts? Will Tech not drop below us? Certainly our SOS will favor us right despite the fact that we lost to them (similar to what could happen with OU).

I think the first goal should always be the Big 12 championship. After that, let the chips fall where they may. So, we need Tech to lose to OU…
Paper Tigers to beat Tech?
Mizzou doesn’t have the D to stop anyone in the South let alone Tech. OSU, a team with an offense built to beat up on Tech’s D only scored 20 points. Mizzou, a one-dimensional offense won’t put up enough points to keep up with Tech. What do I know, the game will be played in KC, in somewhat harsh weather conditions.

No doubt...
Tech will roll Missouri if that happens to be the matchup.
Although I do believe this, I’m also trying to tempt fate.
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
A Mizzou grad friend of mine
believes that Mizzou is Tech’s kryptonite.
2007 UM 41 – 10 TT
2008 UM 38 – 21 TT
2003 UM 62 – 31 TT
Then in ’02 last time UT lost to Tech, UM lost 52 – 38 but also had a 5-7 season (2-6 Big XII)
Holding Tech to 10 points last year is pretty ridiculous.
I want tech again, so here is the ideal situation in my eyes...
Tech wins out, wins big 12. Stoops cries at the end of the game and in his press conference gets consoled by the crying ou kid. Then Tech plays a tight one with Baylor and barely wins, Griffin III announces that he’s going pro…in track and field. Tech and Mizzou play in the big 12 title game, they combine for 600 points and each QB sets a single season passing record in this game alone. At the post game press conference Chase Daniel finally confesses to America that he indeed has a FUPA, but Warren Buffet is going to pay to have it removed, so its ok.
Alabama loses a rivalry game to Auburn. Tommy Tubberville steps down after the game saying that he wants to go out on top and Nick Saban signs a 4 yr contract with the Raiders and tells the crimson tide nation “deuces” (flashing a back handed peace sign)
Florida gets stunned in the Swamp by Florida State, the senile old coach is carried off the field by his team and announces his retirement at the end of the season, Joepa does the same after his game…one week later Bowden tells the media that he was “jking lol”…Joe pa is so stunned that he has a heart attack…but survives and makes a come back on his 99th birthday.
SEC takes themselves out, so winner of Fla vs. Bama doesn’t really matter, but we’ll say Florida wins. Saban coaches the game wearing silver and black, Tebow performs open heart surgery on an infant during his post game interview.
USC somehow loses to UCLA (Slick Rick pays off a ref or an SC player or something)…Pete Carroll anounces that he will get a nose job after the holliday bowl.
And Oregon State wins out haha, what a pac ten champ.
Hmmmm…Who would be left at the top??? #1TTU, #2 UT
Texas wins by 2 TDs and after the game Mack Brown tells Mike Leech, “Arrrgh, you’re still my bitch” Harrell cries, knowing he will never play football and Crabtree says “Fuck it, I’m goin to the league” Colt McCoy leads the nation in prayer, announces he’ll be back for his senior season…Shipley announces that he will be back for his 8th year at UT…Muschamp leads the nation in a “Boom Motherfucker!” chant and announces that he has gotten the Jimbo Fisher contract and will return next year
Waaaaay out of left field, I know, but how badass would that be…
Not too much of a long shot
A lot has to happen, but it’s not too unlikely for Tech and UT to play in Miami. I don’t think it will happen, but if Tech wins out, Florida loses to FSU and then beats Bama, I believe that would leave Tech at #1 and Texas at #2. No matter how much the voters hate it, it’s all about what the BCS says at the end of the season, #1 and #2 HAVE to play each other.
Steelers Roll Left!
