It's Florida & Oklahoma, according to Scout & Fox
Fox is about to announce the official results but Scout.com has Florida and Oklahoma headed to Miami. (Scout had it right the last couple of weeks and is owned by Fox.)
If this is right, Texas ended up with a .05 computer advantage (.94 to .89) but was a distant third in both the USA Today and Harris polls.
Glendale here we come. Rubber match with the Buckeyes.
No surprises:
National Championship: Oklahoma vs. Florida Jan. 8
Fiesta: Texas vs. Ohio State Jan. 5
Sugar: Alabama vs. Utah Jan. 2
Orange: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech Jan. 1
Rose: Penn State vs. USC Jan. 1

Wonder why we hoped…I guess the fan in us made us become blind to the obvious..I dont remember any championship game happening between teams from the same conference….
I hear Arizona is lovely this time of year...

FAIR….nope…I just hope that going down the line “no quarters” is the attitude we get from Muschamp as a Head Coach…coz this will fuck us over as many times as you can imagine…too much OU or USC ass kissing by the media…and more and more I am convinced that out of conference coaches shouldnt be allowed to vote in someone else’s conference…since I think they think only for the last vote when it appears public…other than that they can run their own fucking personal agenda’s.
Charles Davis, Barry Switzer, and Jimmy Johnson
I’m glad I went to the Rice game last Sunday. I may throw something at the tv in the next couple of minutes.

Please give the Big 10 another national obliteration they so richly deserve.
Love and kisses,
The SEC.

Don't think you have to worry about that...
Texas is going to WAX the Buckeyes. They’ve played two decent teams and two good teams. 0-2 good teams. 2-0 decent teams. Survey says…decent, not good, Tressel team.

Fox doesn't know the rules
“Utah and Boise State may not get a bid.” Well, that is not true. One of them will automatically qualify under the freaking rules. Top 12 gets you in if you win your non-automatic bid conference and are the highest ranked team to do so or are ranked in the top 16 and ranked ahead of an automatic qualifier.
Now, only one gets the berth but one gets in AUTOMATICALLY. Read the freaking rules, geez.

smiling like a total retard on the fox bcs show. wonder if fox told barry to lay off the jack this week after that embarrassment from last week.
Poll
VT & Cincy in the Orange Bowl, would you voluntarily watch this game?

Based on ACC Champ Game attendence and geography
is anyone even going to be at this game?
attention miami-area homeless persons
see major college football for FREE!!
what a horrible game!
a 4 loss team in a BCS game? really?
I hate fox
and Cincy now that I’m watching this. What are the odds that Arkansas would blow and Cincy would go to a BCS game?
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
I think the poignant question is
What would Utah or Boise State do to Cincy or VT?

We need a full BON blitz
to make sure Crabapple’s catch is not the Pontiac Game Changer of the year.
that wasn't merely a game-changer...
that was a BOWL picture changer.
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
Unfortunately, it was a season changer
So many ifs on that last drive starting with the kickoff.
You could even start it on our drive that got the lead
Even though we got the TD, we left plenty of seconds on the clock for them.

That play changed everything
Crabtree’s catch or Gideon’s drop (however you want to look at it) changed everything this season everything. If it wasn’t for that catch Texas would be playing in the title game OU would be playing in the Fiesta Bowl and crying about a rematch because it wasn’t a “neutral field.” Like I said at the time of the drop, that play would go down as one of the most important plays in Texas football history. He doesn’t drop the ball and Texas would be in a position to assert itself as the preeminent program in the country. Instead it gets to go to some Mexican bowl game and whoop on a vastly over matched Buckeye team and some ugly trophy while OU and Florida fight for premier and greatest program in the country status.

OMG...
kill me now. I. hate. that. f***ing fightsong. almost as much as I hate ou.
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
wow...
who’s a bigger pinhead – stoops or switzer??? this is my worst nightmare.
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
Bob Stoops flaunting his inane 'logic' on the BCS selection show.
And chatting it up with that idiotic Switzer.
To be honest,
I’m afraid of Pryor’s mobility. However, the kid makes a lot of mistakes. We still need to learn to tackle before I’m comfortable lining up against Beanie and Pryor.
OSU is not the same team as in 04 and 05
Obviously. The defense is not dominant and the offense is not multidimensional. OSU will be ready, though. The fans here (yes, I live in Columbus now) are PUMPED for this game. Thousands will show up even without tickets.
A win over Texas will justify their existence.
I sincerely believe our D will stop their O. I am afraid of our offensive coordinator. Does anyone remember the first half against Tech? The third quarter against UTEP? The first quarter against Colorado? Greg Davis goes stupid. His play calling becomes one dimensional usually throwing away the run game.
I fully believe Greg Davis represents our biggest obstacle to an absolute beat down of Ohio State.
Will we play with a chip on our shoulder? Do we want to prove to the country that we and not one loss OU, Florida, USC, and Penn State belong in the MNC title discussion? OSU will certainly have a chip, lots of chips to be sure, on their collective shoulders.
wasn't GD fault against tech
the o-line was getting whipped, and our WR’s were dropping passes.
I think they're a strong team
It’ll be a good game, but if we come out with the same strength we showed in the RRS, I’ll take us by 2+ scores.
Shoot...
We’re gonna have the fan advantage I’d think, not to mention the clear advantage in talent and a superior coaching staff as a whole… I say 42-20, Horns.
"Either we need to re-calibrate our rectangle, or Alfonzo Marquez is not having a good night." - Josh Lewin
Fan advantage?
Oh boy, you haven’t seen Ohio State travel to bowl games. Notre Dame thought they would have the fan advantage too. 80% of the stadium was Ohio State fans. LSU thought they wouldn’t even let a Buckeye in their stadium. 40% of the stadium was OSU fans even though LSU was playing a veritable home game.
As a previous poster said, Ohio State fans travel even without tickets. There will be more OSU fans in Glendale than there are residents.
Urban Myer's gotta be happy...
having to face ou’s questionable D instead of our firebreathing group…
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
This one is on the coaching staff
The frame of mind, the perspective our kids have entering the game is entirely up to them.
Its official
On Jan 8th, 2009 i will become the biggest Florida Gators fan you will ever see in your life!!!!!!!

how ironic
jimmy johnson just said
“the only way there’s no argument is if you settle it on the field”
in justification of a playoff system.
Let's just hope McCoy comes back next year
cause this team has unfinished business to take care of next year!!
Poor Ohio State.
They didn’t deserve the beatdown they are going to get but Texas has to take it out on someone.
We absolutely MUST obliterate them
That’s the only way to rinse this putrescent taste from our mouths. God, if we lose what amounts to a consolation prize, all the wailing will be for nought and our detractors need only point to the result as evidence of their “infinite wisdom”.
This is still just eating me up inside. How can 11-1 feel like failure?

Destroy the Buckeyes
I’d have to double check the stat line…haven’t checked it in awhile, how is the Longhorn Defense ranked in the Big 12? If we’re high, think about the offenses that we’ve done that against. Even if not – what we held Tech to was remarkable, OU’s “highly tout” offense without morals was BEAT, and the thorough whipping we gave to a ranked Mizzou was rather complete.
A Big Ten Team (I live in Minnesota) should be eaten alive by a Boom lead Longhorn crew with a bad taste left in their mouth.
Texas is #1 in total defense in the conference
you can find that at cfs. Texas is 50th overall, tOSU is 9th. But Texas has held opponents to about 500 less years rushing than tOSU (1379 to 883). Texas has given much more passing yardage, but then we’ve faced a majority of powerful passing attacks.
I
Think at least the coolest thing about this match up is at least the seniors get to play each other three times. How often do two powerhouse programs match-up three times in 4 years when one of the teams is a legitimate title contender? Definitely cool.
I know it isn’t really the endpoint that you guys would like, and I am with you in saying that you guys got screwed, but, if you demolish us, and Florida wins a close game against OU you guys have a legitimate shot to get a share in all honesty. And if Colt decides to stay there is a ton of momentum for yall going into next year.
Next season needs to be seriously apocalyptic.
Texas must destroy everything in their path.
Mack's vote
I give up….Mack has Florida, the team that lost to #25 Ole Miss at home as the #1 team. Why does he not have the horns at #1???
Because
he’s not an asshat like many of the coaches voting and thought Florida deserved the top spot after beating Alabama in a very close game up until the 4th quarter.
Having said that, I do think losing the Ole Miss on your home field should leave you behind Texas, OU, Alabama, and even Texas Tech for that matter. I don’t care when that game was played.
Pretty sad when you think about it
Florida gets a mulligan for a HOME loss to an UNRANKED team.
Our loss was on a tail end of a historic 4 game stretch against top 11 teams. We lost on the ROAD on a last second play on what was considered by many as the best game of the season. We get left out.

hey you better watch it
They are in the SEC, they are allowed to lose a game and not have it count.
45-35
SEC bias
moreover, they did not want a rematch…they do not care about the kids or what is right…and it is just subjective with no closure…and if UT were in the MNC, I would completely understand all of the other one loss teams being bent…the system is majorly flawed. Just disgusting…
by Mulliganville on Dec 7, 2008 9:31 PM CST up reply actions
Ole Miss is not bad
Let me be the first to say here that I think they give Tech a game, if they don’t outright beat them. It’s a ridiculous notion that losing to Ole Miss is worse than losing by 40+ to OU. The Big 12 supremacism is getting out of hand around here.
by andy_wooster on Dec 7, 2008 10:57 PM CST up reply actions
Also
you think Florida should be ranked behind Alabama, the team they just beat on a neutral field without their most talented player? That logic is like Bender’s cooking.
by andy_wooster on Dec 7, 2008 11:07 PM CST up reply actions
Let's see...
Alabama’s one loss: #4 Florida on a neutral field.
Texas’s one loss: #7 Texas Tech on the road… on a last second play
Texas Tech’s one loss: #5 Oklahoma on the road (a complete beatdown to be sure, but it was still to a top 5 ranked team on the road)
Florida’s one loss: Unranked (at the time) Ole Miss at home (3 loss Ole Miss who’s lost to Wake Forest, S. Carolina, and Alabama).
But I guess it doesn’t matter if some of these games were played in September and October. Apparently those games don’t matter.
by StanTheCaddy on Dec 7, 2008 11:32 PM CST up reply actions
And of course...
I forgot to mention OU’s only loss. But we all know what the score was, who they played, what field it was on, and when it happened. Doesn’t matter if it didn’t happen mid-November to the present.

Maybe it's just fate
Maybe the college football gods only want us to win BCS championships when they’re at the Rose Bowl. 2005 and 2009. Hey, I don’t mind winning championships every 4 years. I’ll take it!

i feel like texas fans are so disappointed that many wont go to the game
anyone thinking there will be more ohio state fans than texas fans?
Not from reading this thread
which is much more cheerful than I anticipated. Which is good. Go horns? Beat OSU!
Interesting though; I actually made some acquaintances (Buckeye fans) when I went to Columbus a few years ago, and we’ve emailed since. Never thought we’d play each other again. Perhaps we can meet up.

Stoops
They asked him why OU over Texas and all he could come up with is it was a big tie and he’s just goin’ by the rules. In short, he could not think of any way that OU was better than us.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Muschamp
will have Pryor spooked early.
A Muschamp defense vs a freshman QB= VICTORY
