PrintThe early INT hurt OSU, but other than that, they've played the Sooners to a draw.
Pokes get the ball first in the second half. Let's see a drive worthy of a 40 year old man.

Fiesta
If OU wins out and with Oregon State choking who would we most likely get assuming Fiesta takes Texas?
Are you assuming the Sugar would grab Ohio State?
Not sure who’s picking in what order here.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 8:52 PM CST up reply actions
i think the two national title bowls pick first.
meaning, sugar picks first after losing AL/FL if ranked BCS #1, fiesta would get 2nd choice after losing OU/TX/TT.
after that, i don’t know the order.
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
After replacement picks
Fiesta, then Sugar, then Orange.
I would assume that Ohio State would be more desireable than Utah.

osu needs an x-factor or else
oklahoma has “solved” the osu defense. they were dominated early but really adjusted by resorting to the underneath stuff. steady, efficient, they won’t be as high flying as normal but it’s enough to get 35-40+ points on the board. as well as they’ve played, okie state needs to know they need a lot of points to win this game and play accordingly. unless they get some big plays from dez on special teams or the passing game i don’t think they can get to that number

the sports-writers of the world need chill with the bro-mance
"the friendliest people and the pertiest women you ever seen."
At least this isn't a blowout
But if it wasn’t for Zac’s stupid interception, this is a tie game or even an OSU lead.
Anyone happy with the result? OU is winning, but it isn’t exactly a grand show they wanted to put on… yet.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 8:54 PM CST reply actions
may not be enough
i’m listening to saunders and crew and thinking people like this get to vote.
It won’t be Utah, they’re going to Sugar. Texas would play Ohio State of Boise State if Oregon State loses
I thinkUtah to the Sugar was based on an assumption that the Fiesta would take USC
If the Fiesta’s choice for a Texas opponent is Utah or OSU, I think they would take Utah. Remember that OSU has been to the Fiesta (or the BCS Championship Game in Glendale) four of the last six years.

And that point differential crap was stupid
Don’t you think all three teams would have ballooned many of their scores if they knew that was a tiebreaker? We, for starters, would have definitely scored more against Kansas and A&M. I’m sure OU and Tech had several games where they could have ran it up. It’s a stupid point to put in right now.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 8:55 PM CST reply actions
it's the bourbon talking, not brent
i agree, stupid idea. let’s run up the score every week, just in case. plain wrong.
Exactly
It’s one thing to say “Team X” generally looked better than “Team Y” against common opponents.
But you can’t retroactively apply a specific point differential standard on a season when no coach was playing for that standard.
And on a go-forward basis, doesn’t that standard reward the team with the great offense rather than the team with the great defense just about every time?

put the purple koolaid down now...
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
So IF we end up in Fiesta, would you rather want Ohio State or Boise St?? Those will be the only 2 options.
THE ohio state buckeyes. we'd murder them and get more cred than a boise win. nt
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
We gain nothing by playing either one...
I want USC if Oregon St can pull it out. Beating USC gives us a shot at a split national championship. Anyone agree/disagree?

AP National Championship
AP doesn’t count for the BCS, but the AP voters don’t have to vote with the BCS either. They can vote for us just to screw the BCS as well.
by HornsFaninCalifornia on Nov 29, 2008 9:05 PM CST up reply actions
ONLY if
we’re ahead of OU in the AP tomorrow, but not in the BCS.
I posted about this in another thread. DO NOT root for this scenario, since the only way it can come true would require us to root for OU in the BCS Championship game, hoping that OU’s doing so doesn’t swing AP voters their way.
That would suck.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 9:03 PM CST up reply actions
ah, good point.
would USC be an at-large in that scenario? i highly doubt the fiesta would be able to swing picking two of the hottest at-large teams to fill their bowl. somebody else is bound to snatch one of us if the other is picked, imho.
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
I'd rather have Ohio State
Even though Ohio State isn’t that grand this year, at least there is some benefit to playing them. Against Boise, it’s a no-win situation: If we don’t obliterate them, then we’re overrated. If they play us close or if they beat us like they did the Sooners, then everyone will talk about how the mid-major schools should go to the national title game. Blah blah blah…
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 8:59 PM CST reply actions
And if we DO kill them
Then everyone will dismiss it: “Well, that was just Boise State.”

We'd still have a shot at Split Championship if.....
OU plays Florida in the BCS championship. Not sure if AP voters would spring for us though if we had to play Ohio St or Boise St in the Fiesta. If Oregon State would rally to win, then we’d get USC and a win there could do the trick for a Split Championship
What does this mean?
PB or anyone else,
Cincinnati won today and Mizzou lost. I am hoping for a close OU win and specifically Bradford doing nothing special in the win. However, what does the win mean to us. A kansas win helps us just as much as it helps OU doesnt it? Do we have a chance in the computers because to me it seems our only hope shifts to the human voters. Man I am worried. Any thoughts. Please someone comment…I dont have any finger nails or skin left…………………………..
Semper Fidelis and Hook Em,
WAIT A SECOND
We’re getting WAAAAY too far ahead of ourselves here talking about Fiesta opponents. The game we’re watching is close, and OSU can still win, or OU can win unimpressively enough that we’re #2 tomorroe.
what a shitty Rose Bowl...
USC will win another by 45 against an overmatched Big 10 team. Even USC wanted to go to the Fiesta (per the LA Times) so that they would have a chance at a split title against Texas/OU.
puke. not saying anything about jacquizz, ‘cause he must be hurt bad….but i’d play with a broken collarbone and two broken ribs….
USC will try to stake a claim for the BCS CG
because now they’ll be the Pac-10 champ.

USC is blowing up Notre Dame
It is not even close.
If USC gets in over other one-loss teams right now
I’ll find every voter and beat their brains in.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 9:08 PM CST up reply actions
Only by voters suddenly jumping them over other one-loss teams
And if voters haven’t done so already, they won’t suddenly decide next week that USC is better than Texas or OU. I don’t believe in the existence of the Vast USC Media Conspiracy. If it existed, USC would be top 3 right now.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 9:10 PM CST up reply actions
They would be
if the Pac 10 wasn’t so weak this year.
This isn't looking good
Oregon is up by 20 in the 4th quarter. USC is now the Pac 10 champ. Get ready to start hearing about how USC belongs in the MNC game.
Even with an Ok State victory, this hurts our shot of making it to the MNC game.
Let’s say Mizzou beats Tech: All the country will say you can’t send Texas to the MNC game since they didn’t even win their own conference. USC must go over Texas. I bet the BCS voters vote USC ahead of us in this scenario.
I know I am getting way ahead of myself but the Oregon State loss really hurts us.
did anybody watch the abc halftime show?
I could have sworn that Lee Corso said OU has to do ALOT more to get the vote over Texas..
That's only in his opinion
Unfortunately, while Herbie agrees, he’s also cynical enough to think that the voters will still put OU ahead.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 9:11 PM CST up reply actions
and with Mizzou losing
it doesn’t really matter how the humans vote because the computers should favor OU just enough to bump OU over us. The only thing that helps us is OSU winning.
USC is a joke
They lost to an unranked team. End of discussion.
But both OSU and Ole Miss have proven themselves to be better than what we thought at the time of their upsets
It’s not like either team lost to a team that would up 4-8.
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 9:12 PM CST up reply actions
No worries with USC
call me crazy but everything I’ve seen is USC is Rose Bowl bound with a OSU loss. I don’t think Texas has anything to worry about from USC>
I would tend to agree...
They have too much to climb to pass Texas, but never, ever, underestimate the power of the Media’s love obsession with USC.
If the media were truly obsessed with USC...
…they wouldn’t be ranked behind three other one-loss teams.

You don’t go for two unless you know you have to. Now, instead of being a field goal away from taking the lead, a field goal still leaves them down by 1.

Going for 2
told either your offense you didn’t think they could score again or your defense you didn’t think they could stop them. Never go for 2 until you MUST.

youre in field goal range no matter/one possession game. 2 makes a tie. would have been declared brilliant if he made it.

Only problem with this game being so close is
That both teams look pretty good which means OSU must win.
I think if OU wins this, the pollsters will give OU credit for beating a VERY GOOD OSU team on the road.
I agree with you but that's not what I was saying.
I was saying we wanted OU to win “ugly” in an “ugly game.”
Unfortunately, this game isn’t as ugly as we need it to be.
I’m very afraid OU’s argument will be, “look we won against a very GOOD OSU team at their home and Texas struggled against them at home.”

i have know idea how to feel about this game as related to bcs now. if osu would have kicked the extra point that ou ran back for a 2 points it’s a tied game.

It wasn’t as beautiful as Tech sucking it up against Baylor, but this was a lot closer to what we needed than not. A 65-21 thrashing would have cemented a spot for OU. We can still be optimistic.
How many voters will see that?
Or how many will woodenly look at the final score?

There's only a given number of voters out there
but you’d think they’d be particularly sophisticated in football compared to the average fan. I expect them to appreciate the nuance of the situation. It’s rare that an outside populace can decide a conference titlist, a one-year deal if Mack has anything to do with it.
Final score doesn't
look close now, it’s 11:45 in the east, and saturday night everywhere, far fewer voters than you think were watching.

Effn Gideon. I love the kid.
But, if OU jumps us, make no mistake about it, that play will go down in UT"s History of Infamy right next to Phillip Geiggar’s roughing the kicker penalty against Colorado that is credited with costing Texas a MNC appearance in 2001 against Miami.
He's a great player, and has exceeded all expectations...
I am simply pointing out that, unfairly, he will be blamed by many for costing Texas a Big 12 Championship and MNC appearance.
You're putting it in the Buckner position.
Gideon wasn’t in on the winning play. It’s not like Texas didn’t have opportunities to win the game on either side of the ball. It’s the team that took the hit and playing youth is a risk this team took: you don’t blame the players, you blame the coach, for they were willing to take the risk because this team needed the rewards. Gideon’s best play has served us well and doing this undercuts that respect for his overall play.
Um, of all the players to blame against CU (cough, cough), you pick GEIGGAR?!?
by Hopkins Horn on Nov 29, 2008 10:47 PM CST up reply actions
I know Simmshad a greater role in the meltdown
But Geiggar’s roughing penalty killed Major’s Rally. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Yeah, no doubt, I remember a certain QB (no names mentioned, *Chris Simms*) who threw
4 picks in the first half and the 3rd pick caused our star RB (Cedric Benson) to get a stinger when he was forced the tackle the Colorado player that made the interception that held Benson out of our bowl game.
Applewhite almost brought us back but it was too little too late.

•Mike Leach, Texas Tech head coach

Stoops’ first offensive coordinator now has Texas Tech in the top 15 and competing for a league title
•Mark Mangino, Kansas head coach
Replaced Leach, now the Big 12’s returning coach of the year after leading Jayhawks to Orange Bowl
•Mike Stoops, Arizona head coach
Took over at Arizona in 2004 after coordinating dominant defenses in Norman
•Chuck Long, San Diego State head coach
Largely responsible for Jason White’s Heisman Trophy winning career
•Kevin Sumlin, Houston head coach
Becomes first black head coach in major Texas college football history
•Bo Pelini, Nebraska head coach

Do we just dismiss the Tech game then? After all, everyone will agree that Texas is a VERY different team than what we showed that night…

They just had the best season in their history, yes in their history, and they are going to the CoTTon bowl When it comes down to it, Mack has only gotten UT to 2 BCS bowls, so at least we are guaranteed to accomplish getting to a 3rd.
clinging to hope
that pollsters will note:
texas wins with class
ou has no defense
the anti-kneel down
45-35
Not going to happen. The Big 12 and SEC champion will settle it on the field.
Maybe, maybe if USC had a better offense (and not struggled with some crappy Pac 10 teams) there would have been enough media pressure to create another MNC game in the Fiesta (especially if Texas got in). I think USC going to the Rose Bowl kills any chance of a split national title. Texas beating Utah, or OU beating Utah, or USC beating Penn State won’t do it.
If I was a Harris voter
I’d vote for Texas because – I want to keep my lame system intact. So I can be a self-important “BCS” voter. Head to head is a hell of an argument. It’s the playoff argument. If that’s not honored, I may be at risk of losing my status as a “BCS” voter, which I like. I like very much my current self-importance, and these Longhorns could make us look like idiots if we don’t put them through, just when we have a new President dogging my system, my Harris vote, my BCS self importance vote.

If cheating and choking are your two biggest talents then why change?
Random contrarian thoughts on a sleepless night....
1. Holtz and May are both selling something they don’t believe because producers tell them to. May is trying to make up for 2005 when he spent a month declaring USC the greatest ever – so ESPN lets him take the “pro Texas” view. That means Holtz takes the other side….they are entertainers, not journalists. (BTW, Mark, how many Heisman winners does it take to beat Vince Young?)
2. USC may be the team really getting screwed this year (I hate to say it). But, I’ve seen them a few times this year and that defense is unreal. Yes, they lost a game to a team with four losses – but they lost on the road at night and nearly won to a team that will end up tied with them for first in the conference. Sounds a little familiar. Not that I’m losing sleep over their bad luck…..
3. How about credit for non-conference scheduling? Three years ago when we set this schedule (after Utah backed out thinking they didn’t need 2 for 1 anymore) would you have taken Texas’ non-con with UTEP on the rise (and on the road) and Arkansas or OU’s with Cincy and TCU? We scheduled more difficult, our partners didn’t live up to the agreement!

Kick him in the balls
just for the hell of it. A swift kick by Mack wearing some steel-toed boots. Oh wait Mack already did that to him in Dallas. 45-35.
dude,
oklahoma state had just called a timeout and all brown was doing was running it up the middle.
dude,
25 seconds left, first down, on the 20-something. how many timeouts did osu have, infinity? give me a break. he was running up the score so he could go to the camera and say “see? we beat osu by 20!” which he immediately did. in that situation, a classy coach goes into the v formation.

No, they’ll figure “OU beat Ok State on the road by 20, Texas beat them at home by 4 so the voters went with OU despite the head to head.” But if Texas stays ahead of OU it will most likely end with blaming Mack for it even if the voters wake up and think “You know this is a really good OU offense and OSU couldn’t stop them. Actually the only team that could was Texas. I’ll change my vote and go with UT instead.”
It comes down to Mack’s character. He will politic as much as he can but at the end of the day he always says the same thing “We will go wherever they send us.” Mack Brown is no Bob Stoops and I thank God for that.
UT could and DID stop them....
When it was the OU 1.0
But after the Kansas game, OU figured it out, and it’s been OU 2.0
NOT the same team
At this point, I wouldn’t put it past Mack to do such a thing, since he’s already lost the respect of most people for his politicking. Bob answered a question after the Tech game, and refused to go on about it. Let the chips fall where they may. How Mack has gone onto every show possible and whored himself out to beg and plead for votes instead of just letting the teams’ play be the determinant has been pretty despicable.
Before Thursday, I’d have rooted for Mack and UT if they were to get the nod ahead of OU. And, not because of the way the TEAM played, but because of the fans and Mack’s attitude, no way that happens now….
Oh no how will we ever live if you don't cheer for our team?
“Wow. This BCS bowl game is very enjoyable. Texas is kicking ass but you know what? It’s missing something. I’m just not enjoying the game quite as much as I would if some sooner that has nothing better to do but troll BON could be cheering the horns on. That’s it. I can’t watch this game anymore. It’s too painful.”
Nobody here likes you or your team. FYI.
You know
It has never once occurred to me to comment on a rival team’s message board.
Interesting how that says more about you than it does about me.

"just letting the teams’ play be the determinant"
TexasSooner,
In your own words, 45-35, is letting the teams play be determinant. There should not be any talk about voters. The teams have played and determined.
Thank you for your support in letting the world know that Texas is more deserving team to go to the Big 12 CG.
the big question in my mind with that pitiful 2.0 argument is simply
Why did your beloved Sooners WAIT till after Texas polished them into the ground to show up 2.0? Texas doesn’t need motivation, BlowU does. We deserve it because we beat you simply stated.
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?
but....
our SOS took a hit when CU and Mizzou couldn’t finish the deal against their opponents. Also, FAU helped us out with a big win while UTEP got destroyed. All in all, the weekend was a wash in terms of hoping for massive computer help.
re: Florida
If you want to look at their computer help, they really had a rough weekend. Miami, Vandy, UGA, LSU, South Carolina, all lost. Had a couple teams on their schedule win, but it seems like they took some hits overall.
so, i know this is pretty much a foregone conclusion...
…since Florida is so close to us in the BCS, but are they guaranteed to jump us if they beat Alabama? The computers don’t love Florida. I just wonder if somehow the computers held on and we were still somehow in the top 2.

Maybe they kept the last poll up but updated the records, because i highly doubt there's anyway Oregon State and Georgia
can be ranked ahead of their rivals who beat them yesterday..still pretty sure its last weeks..
Definitely last weeks.
Mizzou, Ga, OrSU didn’t drop. It also says OU was 5 last wekk. The records are updated, but not the standings.
Turncoat
Harris Poll (updated 11-30-08 at 12:04 p.m.) has 1-5, Alabama, Florida, OU, UT and USC.
harris poll
this poll not only has ou ahead of UT. it also has missouri ahead of osu & osu beat missouri. it definitely looks we are going get screwed.
