OU ahead of Texas in the BCS

[johngateswhiteley]

They won games the same way before the Texas game when everybody thought that OU was clearly better than Texas the first time.

thats true. it does appear ou is better than t.u. right now, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

what a ty season...i think SC could beat anyone, but they wont get the chance either. chalk it up to another year and another reason for a playoff.

i wonder if it will happen in the next 20 years...?

What have they shown that makes people believe they are playing better than Texas right now?

The only reason people think OU is playing so much better is because they run up the score, and Texas doesn't. Once Texas had the OSU game in hand, they pretty much just played ball-control offense and let the game die, while OU kept passing and playing agressively.

Their offense is better than Texas' offense, so they can blow teams out easier, but it doesn't make them a better team, because their defense isn't nearly as good as Texas' defense. Similar to the Suns. They would be winning more games than the Spurs, and often by 20 point margins, but it didn't make them a better team.

There will be crying whatever system is put in place. There are 10 D-I teams with one loss or less (go Ball State, rah). Even a four-team or eight-team playoff is going to make someone unhappy.

But does anybody really care if a #9 or #10 team is ing?

There's controversy over the basketball tournament selection every season - but at the end, nobody doubts its ability to determine a champion. Not the case with college football.
