IF you couldn't tell, Bowl selection and BCS season is my favorite time of the year. I get to lay into noobs that have no idea what they are talking about on why I believe the BCS is good. But this time I do have a problem with it. It isn't something like in 2004 with Auburn, or like Michigan in 2006. This is worse.

Oklahoma vs. Texas: 45-35 Texas. The fourth quarter was all one sided (Texas).

Texas vs. Texas Tech. 39-33 TT. Texas lost on a miracle last second play in which the best WR in all the land had one of the greatest and clutch plays I have ever seen.

Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech. 65-21 Oklahoma. Blow out.

They are all 11-1. They all lost to one another. Texas Tech got blown out. So they shouldn't be in contention for the NC. Texas lost to a team that got blown out on the last play. So they shouldn't be. Oklahoma got rattled in a game which score does not reflect Oklahoma's playing.

 But wait, look at the time of possesion from the Red River Rivalry. 37:10 for Texas, 22:50 for Oklahoma. Just my point.

Texas would have been undefeated if it wasn't for a last second play.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was Colin Cowherd's point. This is mine.

  • If Oklahoma beats Missouri they will be in NC no doubt because Texas didn't play. Just like Michigan in 2006. Only if Mizzou can pull a great upset, will the Longhorns be in it. But wait a second.
  • Wasn't Penn St. going to the National Championship until they lost to Iowa? They lost to Iowa on a game winning field goal. Iowa is not that bad of a team too. They are 8-4. I realize that the Big 12 South and the Big 10 are way different this year, but they blew everybody out until Ohio St., but still won, and they barely lost to Iowa. They played good enough to be in the National Championship no doubt.
  • The very same applies to USC. They lost to a very good Beavers team, and is 10-1.
  • Florida lost to a very good Ole Miss team.

So although I am very against playoffs, if your team is one of these, I can understand. But what I can't understand is what is so bad about the Sugar, or the Fiesta, or the Orange?
