Baylor? Valiant effort, but... fail.

And they kick a field goal to win when OSU fumbles running out the clock deep in their own end.

You know...
this is the 2nd time OU is benefitting from the BCS…ugh. So fuck them!
explain
Why everyone here believes that UT should go to the NC game if Tech wins the Big 12 championship and beating UT head to head. I am just interested to hear the logic behind this thinking besides the fact you are a UT fan?

not saying should, in my opinioni
but most likely will. Not sure how tech jumps UT without UT losing (which is not possible). Strength of sched in the computer polls + lower human poll rankings = Texas in national game
that said....
close calls against Nebraska and a lackluster effort against BU does not help much
agreed
they are talking about this right now on espn…guy says most likely Tech would go over UT

interesting
did he say how? human polling would have to push them over the top , right? b/c the computer numbers should not shift all that much , I don’t think.
all he really said
was that UT focusing on head to head against OU right now will backfire if OU loses and Tech wins the Big 12. he didnt say actually how Tech will jump.

if tech went to and won the ccg against mizzou, then i dont really think Texas or its fans would be expecting to play in the MNC game.
however, i think you are misunderstanding the notion that Texas is interjecting with if Tech LOSES to mizzou in the ccg, then Texas should rightfully be in the MNC game.
If You See Kay, Oh You
Nobody wants a Tech team playing terrible in the MNC game.
You guys shot yourselves in the foot with that blowout loss and the Baylor debacle. Human voters (assuming they have minds of their own) would never let you in the BCS title game with such a poor end to the season.
by HornPossessed on Nov 29, 2008 6:40 PM CST up reply actions
that is a matter of opinion
tech is ranked 4 in the computer polls, only 2 spots below ut. beating mizzouri will only add to that ranking and i really think human voters will place tech in front of UT because they decided the outcome on the field so it is black and white for most unbiased voters
if tech does go and loses then UT should go for sure. However OU losing tonight is a long shot

There is probably a 70% chance of OU losing tonight.
OU on the road in a big game usually loses.
by HornPossessed on Nov 29, 2008 6:47 PM CST up reply actions
It'd be pretty hard to ignore that loss though...
I agree you win the head-to-head and have a great argument, but let’s face it, you got embarrassed two weeks before voters will be deciding, then almost lost to Baylor. May not be fair, but I don’t see voters making a big swing, especially since pretty much everyone has already dismissed you from a 3-way tie conversation.
Why would the voters use the head to head argument for Tech over UT
when they didn’t do the same between UT and OU? It would be hypocritical to not use it when it helps Texas in favor of a “hot”, that’s the big buzzword for talking heads, OU but then OU goes down to OSU and then they say “well the hot team lost so let’s go by head to head now.” even though Texas is #2 in the country despite Tech beating Mizzou assuming they do that.
Tech was blown out by OU and had to rally to come from behind at home against one of the weakest teams in the conference. Tech would get decimated against Florida.
I will cut and paste a post I just posted on the other gameday thread
I hate to say it, but I can’t argue with that argument. As much as I want Texas to go (and I think Texas will still go even in the scenario you mention above), I can’t disagree with that argument.
Tech beat us. Assuming they win the Big 12; they beat us head-to-head AND won the Big 12. Can’t argue with that.
But, I still think we go to the MNC because of Tech’s computer averages. I don’t think/know if they can pass us in BCS, especially considering Mizzou is now 9-3.
And this example highlights how bad the BCS is. Playoff anyone?
i meant if OU loses...

I keep hearing
from OU fans the argument that OU is so much better now, and would crush UT, so a RRS Texas win doesn’t mean anything anymore. OU fans are illogical, and I HATE people who can’t apply good logic. Not to mention, OU just sucks – fact.
Yea, i know what you mean
A&M, and OU fans are some of the most illogical people i know. It is kind of Ironic

Gotta pull for the Pokes
Even if, worst case scenario, Tech jumps us and makes the NC, we can’t get worse than the Fiesta Bowl. But I don’t think they would, even if they probably should. I like those chances better.
But ultimately, it’s hard to know what would happen, so I’m just rooting against the Sooners.

Brent actually makes sense for once
Is he drunk yet?
Musberger just endorsed...
…blatantly running up the score as a way to break ties. Way to stay classy, Brent.
The other OSU is putting a goose egg effort
This actually works against us.
Yeah, this is bad
(1) Will allow USC to claim the “conference champion higher ground” if it’s between us and USC if OSU wins tonight.
(2) If we miss out on Miami, means we play Ohio State (yuck) or Boise State (gag) in the Fiesta.
Speaking of the Fiesta, assuming OU or Texas goes to KC, wins and goes to Miami, is the “other” Big XII team in the BCS automatically locked into the Fiesta? Or is only the Big XII champ obligated to go to the Fiesta? If USC is out as a possible opponent, I would sure as hell go to the Sugar and play the SEC runner-up than play OSU or BSU.

oregon state losing means USC would be out of Fiesta, and Texas probably would play crappy Ohio State………..what a weak reward for a great season so far.
Honestly
Aside from the INT and a nice bounce on the punt OSU is outplaying OU so far. Not getting any breaks though.
zac needs to keep that. DE was caught sliding downt the line. nt

Crap, if Oregon State loses…..you can bet the “USC in the title game” movement would take center stage if they’re up against an at-large Texas team for the #2 BCS spot.
Agreed
Wonder if the Sugar would grab Ohio State if they’re available, and we’d play Utah. I’d rather play the Utes than OSU or Boise.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 7:56 PM CST up reply actions
yes. if you can withstand the 1st quarter OU offensive onslaught and only trail by 4, you're doing very well. nt
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
I agree I don’t think USC would jump to #2, but you’d hear media bring it up a ton just cause of their love-fest for USC
And because of that
USC would almost have to be above us on virtually every voters’ poll, plus have a wedge team (SEC runner-up?) in there as well. Seems too far-fetched. But possibly fetchible.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 7:57 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah,, but
We weren’t pansted by OU and clowned by the bears over the last 2 weeks
RECRUITS: Jordan Leslie (Tomball TX Tomball)
"Stats are for losers, I like winning games"
The difference
is we actually played a tougher schedule. I dont think anyone here would arugue that we only deserve to go because of the OU head to head. Its the total body of work. remember the 4 game stretch when most pundits thought 2-2 would be a win for us in those games?
There is no greater privilege than supporting the Burnt Orange Bevo Boys...and Girls...
and even if tech did, i'd take that over OU going any day. root for OSU, imho. nt
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
I think we still root for OU...
In a close game. It would be nice for them to look sloppy both on offense and defense.
the man, the myth, the legend.
Go OU!! I’ll take my chances with Tech playing in the slop against Mizzou, Chase and Mizzou owned Tech and Harrell the last 2 years…………..it won’t be any different. Mizzou will play better next week, plus I think Tech is still mentally scrambled.
depends on how much you trust voters. if you do trust them and think we can pull out a 3 way tie then pull for choke U.
If you dont have faith in voters and hate Choke U pull for the pokes! Hook Em.

If I hear

Stoops is class
He didn’t whore himself out like Mack has all day…….
I can't wrap my head
around these facts and how they are being totally disregarded… 1) OU was #1 in the nation on oct. 11th, lost by 10 and at that time the voters thought so much of UT that we jumped from 5th to 1st, and OU only dropped to #4. Since then we’ve held all mutual oppenents to less points than OU, excluding TTU. 2) I think if we had a week off before TTU it would have been a different story. Instead, our schedule was rearranged by a hurricane, and we played 4 top 11 teams in consecutive weeks. 3) This year marked the first time the underdog won the RRS when both teams were ranked, meaning, we were supposed to lose and came out on top. For all of Stoop’s glory, he’s never upset Mack…also, Our SOS got a boost with Rice & Arkansas winning while UF’s biggest wins this year are to a 4 loss LSU team and a 3 loss Georgia squad. They both lost this weekend, does that also favor OU?
