Ohio State loses to USC early without Beanie Wells…they play Penn State close with a True Freshman QB who’s got less than 5 games experience…but, they get no credit for being an improved team between the Penn St. game and the Fiesta Bowl…meanwhile (and ironically), USC gets credit for their “Blowout” win vs. Ohio St., plus a very strong win at the Rose Bowl over Penn St. to possibly claim some #1 votes…

Oklahoma loses to us 45-35 on a neutral field, but it doesn’t matter at the end of the season since OU got “style” points for laying 60+ points on everyone after the RRR…they get credit for “being a better team since the Texas game”. And the Human Voters vault them into the Big 12 Championship and MNC Game…

Texas then defeats Ohio St. in thrilling fashion in the Fiesta Bowl – however, it’s not a “good” win. Why? Because it was over the Ohio St. team that lost 35-3 to USC (and, btw, lost in the last two MNC games), not the Ohio St. team that played Penn St. close and showed improvement the rest of the year.

All depends on your pespective or agenda, I guess…

At least at the end of the day, we represented the Big 12 South!

Lots of cussin’ & discussin’ on Big 12 vs. SEC vs. Big 10 (and throw in Utah) over the next few weeks…
