Florida or Texas?

The question is whether Texas or Florida is more deserving to go to the MNC. Forget about winning divisions or conferences, ties for divisions, tie breakers, BCS, SEC, Big 12, what conference each team is in, etc.

'Head to head' which is the better team and based on their record is more deserving to go to the MNC? Which is the second best team in the country? Top two go to the MNC regardless of conferences.

Florida -
Best win: Alabama, ranked #1 then, ranked #~6 now (tomorrow, after the loss)
Loss: Unranked Ole Miss at home
2nd best win: #16 Georgia
3rd best win: #24 Florida State

Texas -
Best win: Oklahoma ranked #1 then, ranked #2 now
Loss: #7 Tech away on last second play
2nd best win: #14 Oklahoma State
3rd best win: #20 Missouri

If one looks at these results and on the filed performance honestly, Texas should be going to the MNC instead of Florida.

Let's be Fair

It’s a toss up between OU and Texas, but both are clearly more deserving then Florida. It should be OU and Texas in the MNC.

Cincinati

If Cinci beats Hawaii, we have a shot, but if not I don’t think it’s likely we stay ahead of Florida.

I concur

I thought about this one the way home listening to OU score time and time again. I think the debate of Texas vs. OU is over and now it should switch to Florida. I think Texas and OU are the two most deserving teams. Period.

Guaranteed to work 60% of the time, every time.

I can't wait for all the scenario BS to be over

and who is “more deserving” doesn’t matter.

It’s OU v. Florida fellas.
