Tech. OU. Someone Has To Win Open Thread

Pb6_tiny by Peter Bean on Comment 660 comments

I'm torn on this one, honestly. I'm not one of those who thinks Texas can't win the three-way tiebreak, but I'm a glass half-full kinda guy. Whatever happens tonight, we'll need more help still. Root for an ugly, turnover-filled slopfest? And maybe a halftime interview with Mack Brown? Or Will Muschamp?

Life is good, regardless of tonight's outcome.

Root for it to be ugly

As someone said on Barking Carnival, its a no win/no lose situation for us.

Let them kill each other such that each loses their next game imo.

Amen brother...

life is GREAT! So much to be thankful for. And thank you for keeping us going!

BOOMER SOONER (yuk)!

I'm with you PB

I honestly don’t know who I want to win. I hate OU, so rooting for them is hard, and Tech beat us on the last play of the game, so I hate them too. I’m just gonna go with BIC, root for an ugly game.

Root for the land thieves then root for okie state next week

by kcmorse on Nov 22, 2008 6:13 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

I agree

but, I’d rather root for OU than Tech since Tech has Baylor next and OU has Okie State.

Notre Dame

definitely loses to USC and then probably loses their bowl game. If we win our bowl game we’ll open up a two win cushion. We may be passing them for good on Thanksgiving.

by andy_wooster on Nov 22, 2008 6:24 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

hate to say it...

but i’m hoping that OU wins a close/sloppy one. Seeing OU in the national title game would really piss me off, but I think that it’s more likely that OU loses @ OSU rather than Tech losing versus Mizzou.

I also think that we have a decent shot at the tiebreaker (due to the computers and the head-to-head win in Dallas) and think that it is a better scenario for Texas than just hoping that Tech loses to Mizzou at Arrowhead.

I continue to turn the following scenario over in my head: OU wins, then loses to OSU next week. Tech would still go to the title game, but would a win over Mizzou be enough to vault them back into the #2 slot in the BCS rankings? I’m thinking not.

by brownf on Nov 22, 2008 6:27 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

this is a very interesting scenario

hadn’t thought much about that happening but it’s one of the more probable Texas- beneficial scenarios on the table at this point.

we would almost certainly go to the national championship game in this case.

10 Picks. Historic. Hysterical, to.

Although seems like there was a QB for Texas A&I who threw 9 INTs in their title game, which they barely lost.

Damn... I'm sicked

that we have to watch this football game tonight. Even makes me more disgusted is we have to root for OU tonite if we want to play at Florida on Jan. If Tech wins tonight, I’m not expect Mizzou can beat Tech even they have home court advantage on the Big 12 Title game. I recall the Cowboys has beat Mizzou on their home turf ..

Anyway, whether OU will win in tight margin or lopsided tonight, OU STILL SUCKS!

But tonite, I am more concern our freshman…I hope Gideon will get surround by Roy Miller/Orakpo or Colt if he decides to watch this game tonite. Someone in coaching staff needs to heads up and don’t let him watch this game by himself alone tonite. Someone needs to be with him if he watch this game.

Cuz, I’m 110% for sure it will bring back the awful memory of his dropped ball when he watch this game tonite. He will blame himself once again that if he had caught that ball, we don’t need to waste our time to watch the outcome of this game tonight.

That's part of it. Also, their last game will be on ESPN the OCHO against Baylor

And Texas will have the stage to themselves on Thanksgiving night. They will drop below OU and UT in the polls and won’t have enough time to get back into the Top 4. UT only fell to #4. OU, when we beat them, fell to #5. Tech, will fall behind Alabama, UT, OU, Florida, USC, and maybe even F’n Penn State.

New Bowl scenario as OU goes up 28-0.

What if OU blows out Tech (holds serve from where they are now). Tech, as I said earlier could find themselves at 6-8 in the rankings tomorrow. OU loses to Oklahoma State at Stillwater. Tech goes to the B12 title game and wins. Would a win against MiZZOU catapult Tech up past Texas who will be sitting at #2?

1. Worst first half we have played all year

2. Better strength, conditioning, and adjustments.

I know we will get screwed in the polls

but it feels good to see the team that beats us get beat by a team we won against. Illogical for the polls but it is all about OU and TEXAS in the South.

At Tech...

..4 tough games in a row….still have to rank us ahead of OU given all the circumstances and our head to head win

At this point

Their SOS is so bad, I think not winning the Pac-10 is a bigger boon to them not getting voted in than weakening the beavers schedule.

Probably a toss up though.

But as someone mentioned above...

Tech might get dropped so low that even the conference title probably would keep them below us. Either way, after watching OU tonight, I don’t see the Pokes pulling off an upset.

I understand.

What I’m saying is that even winning the Big XII title would probably still keep them below us in that scenario.

Silver linings at halftime

Assuming the rout continues:

(1) This completely eliminates Tech from the discussion of who’s the best team in the three-way tiebreak situation. A double-digit victory on a neutral filed just became that much more powerful.

(2) I think it is inconceivable that Tech wouldn’t drop behind just us, but USC and Penn State as well. In the event that OU loses to OSU, and Tech subsequently beats Mizzou, no way they leap us AND USC AND PSU to get to Miami. In other words, I think an OSU victory over OU clinches a championship game berth for us (assuming we beat A&M).
