Texas jumps ahead of OU in AP Polls!

Ah, thanks. Every time they close one loophole, two more open up.

I've been saying since this thing started that it should be a rule that you have to win your conference to go to the championship game. In the absence of a true playoff, winning your conference should be mandatory.

Every conference should be required to have a championship game if that's the case. If you're telling teams that all they can do is win the games that are on their schedule and hope for the best, some teams shouldn't be penalized for doing so by getting an extra game that doesnt' do anything but potentially penalize them.

since there was a 3 way tie - you just CANNOT take into account the head-to-head over texas.

if tech/OU had been a close game, you'd have three 11-1/7-1 teams that had all beaten each other with an equal argument to the south le.

but everybody seems to want to dismiss Tech because of OU's romp, then make it a 2-way tie with Texas getting in on head-to-head. but if you do that, then you are actually PUNISHING oklahoma for destroying tech, giving them a better chance if they had just barely won that game.

45-35 definitely comes into play, but it shouldn't be any more valuable than 39-33 or 65-21.

Head-to-head (esp. at a neutral site) is the ultimate tiebreaker. Relative results suck donkey in comparison.

but that doesn't break the 3 way tie.

I could very well be wrong with this, but was Tech EVER a #1 team? Wern't they the #2 team when OU beat them?

If that is the case, then that is another issue that pisses me off. Texas beat OU, when they were a #1...Tech beat Texas when they were #1...did OU beat a #1 Tech or #2? Just curious....

This is why I hate the stupid BCS stuff and no matter how hard people try to explain it to me, it gets more and more crazy...

If OU loses to Mizzou, then it becomes either UT or USC going to the BCS championship. That will be a fun discussion around here.

I cant see USC getting in over Texas. Texas played a much tougher schedule and lost to a top 10 ranked school in Tech. USC played a much easier schedule and lost to an unranked (at the time) Oregon State team. Isnt strength of schedule part of the BCS? I mean Boise State and Utah would be #2/#3 if it wasnt. Putting USC over Texas would go against that.

USC wont jump UT. UCLA isn't strong enough for that to happen. If OU loses, UT will get that spot.
