One down, one got lucky and one to go.

It's been an interesting day. Not a good one for field goals or SEC QBs. Now we get to see some serious football.

We all agree it's a damn close game.

OU will beat Tech and OU will probably beat OSU. That leaves Tech, Texas and OU all with one loss and we will not win that tiebreak which goes back to who has the highest BCS ranking.

Yea, maybe I’m overvaluing our 2nd half against A&M, or devaluing our 1st half against the Aggies, which is precisely what you’re doing in Re: Texas’ first half against Texas Tech. Flusters me that Tech plays a pretty flawless first half against the then #1 team in the country, and it’s because of your team, or extrinsic factors like nightness. We outgained you by 200 yards, by the way?

Back to the matter at hand, yea, maybe we didn’t smoke A&M, but we beat them by 18 or at worst 11 points, outgained them by 200 yards, too, and did it on the road. It was a convincing enough victory, I thought we smoked them, but I’m happy dialing that back to: We merely beat them convincingly.

In this scenario Texas has beaten the same ranked teams as tech. Also, Ou, Texas, and Tech will all have beaten each other so someone will have to be ranked below someone they beat.

It was more a joke than a serious complaint.

But you have to admit, officials have just amazingly stopped calling holds on the Tech O-Line even though it’s blatant most of the game. I’m not saying there is anything insidious going on here (it’s a Big XII thing to not call holds) but the teams with high-powered offenses get called much less. (I doubt it’s a product of perfect O-Line play)

The point is, it seems the Big XII has decided not to call holds on the higher powered teams so the QB has more time to find reads and therefore score more points, making us look even better than we are.

Just an opinion.

Because that is aggie’s punchcard. If it wasn’t the refs, then at least we beat you in academics. Just shut up and be glad you have an awesome team that might make the MNC. The refs didn’t screw you, you got dominated on both lines and did an awesome job to make it close. QUIT CRYING. Your team doesn’t need such stupidity.

... I'm just sayin'

If you read my post, you'd realize I didn't blame the refs on our loss.

I was merely pointing out the viewpoint that the Big XII has stopped calling holds on the higher powered offenses (Yes, including Texas) so that they can score more and make the conference look better.

Please stop trying to pick a fight on opposing teams’ boards.

you seem intent

on proving the earlier assertion that the only decent Tech posters on SBN are Tech92 and Seth.

Event? Priceless

It all comes down to the rankings

This could happen starting tomorrow:

Tech 1
Ala 2
Texas 3

Not saying it will happen, but it could

Thr BCS comes down to the rankings?

Really, since when? I never thought that rankings mattered in college football. I guess we should start following them.

IF Tech loses to OU and wins out

We are in the Big 12 Title game. They won’t jump us. Sure they would have some strong wins but our resume would be better looking at the computer numbers

OU Key wins

Kansas
Tech
OK St
TCU

Texas Key wins
OU
MIzzou
OK St
Kansas
(Arkansas)

Computers love us and they would put us in front of them

Sorry, but Tech doesn’t lose to OU. I know you want it and need it, but it doesn’t happen. Hoping something and the bare, scary facts just don’t allow it. Tech already played their biggest challenge, and OU, even at home doesn’t bring it like Texas did.

Just win out… you never know what will happen.

Peace

Thats easy to say after the win tonight

I thought Texas would never lose to Tech.

OU is a different moster then either team you have played so far. There offense is better then both and defense is better the OSU.

Garuntee a loss right now!

But what about the humans?

They’re not going to move OU behind Texas in virtue of beating #2 Texas Tech, right? And the computers are REALLY going to love OU after they have Tech and OSU on their schedule (as Texas has the benefit of right now). If OU wins out, they will pass UT. I can’t be the only one who sees that?

Go register. Or else.

by Skin Patrol on Nov 9, 2008 10:09 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I see that too. But I think OSU will get itself back and should be in a position to drop OU..I think the way it may play out is Tech drops to OU (road record is pathetic)….and OU drops to OSU (in Stillwater- will be interesting)…and what happens if Tech drops to Mizzou? How does that play out for Texas?

Hey....

You guys are flying high right now. After Texas beat Oklahoma State, severa of us got ahead of ourselves and started planning trips to the MNC and Kansas City. We were ranked #1 for 3 weeks in a row and started thinking about a 2nd MNC in 4 years. Penn State did the same thing, after they beat OSU, their fans were on this board complaining about the quality of our defense and the fact that they might get left out of the MNC. They hit #2 and were a “lock” for the MNC. Today, they lost to Iowa. You guys are the flavor of the month. You might defy the odds, beat Oklahoma, beat MiZZOU, and go to the MNC against Florida or USC or whoever and that would be great. The key here is to not get ahead of yourselves. Stay grounded, because if you do somehow lose to Oklahoma, it will be easier to swallow if you haven’t been trolling around every board on the internet bashing everybody else’s teams.

I hate Lou Hotlz

He is trying just justify OU being ranked ahead of Texas

by Hookem4life84 on Nov 8, 2008 11:34 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Lou Holtth...

Hates Texas…. And Colt. Never listen to him. The only reason they have him on there is because he is folksy and used to be the coach at ND.

As an analyst i find him more or less completely useless. He adds nothing but colloquialisms and spit.

Oklahoma State for BCS

Oklahoma State had a rare off form performance in Lubbock, but we will beat Oklahoma and Texas will lose to KU
