Missouri? Choke.

Baylor? Valiant effort, but... fail.

OSU?  Needs to win outright or at the least take the Sooners for a wild ride.

Join me here. Pure, unadulterated Sooner hate.

Go Cowboys. Beat OU.

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

Hey!

I’m injecting hate into this thread!

by HornPossessed on Nov 29, 2008 6:35 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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?

by crabtreeforheisman on Nov 29, 2008 6:36 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

close calls against Nebraska and a lackluster effort against BU does not help much

by derrumbe on Nov 29, 2008 6:39 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

agreed

they are talking about this right now on espn…guy says most likely Tech would go over UT

"Once in awhile, a pirate can beat a soldier"

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.

by derrumbe on Nov 29, 2008 6:44 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

by texfan23 on Nov 29, 2008 6:40 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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 to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

by crabtreeforheisman on Nov 29, 2008 6:45 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by jw4425 on Nov 29, 2008 6:49 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by seth78 on Nov 29, 2008 7:34 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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?

by Top Jimmy on Nov 29, 2008 7:00 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

by PSUhorn on Nov 29, 2008 6:37 PM CST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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.

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.

by kjm017 on Nov 29, 2008 7:37 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Fiesta

The Fiesta Bowl isn’t obligated to take another Big XII team, but they will get to pick a replacement for the Big XII team in the NC game. They will almost certainly take Texas.

Aside from the INT and a nice bounce on the punt OSU is outplaying OU so far. Not getting any breaks though.

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.
