Now that was an incredible game. One of the best I've ever seen, pro or college!

Lubbock was definitely alive after the game last night!

Damn I was happy to see Texas go down. I'm a Missouri fan... they tore us apart... I needed to see that. Hopefully we meet Tech in the Big 12 Championship... so we can get torn apart again lol. Just keeping it real...

what happened, happened. stop making excuses for how poorly UT played, esp in the 1st half. UT made it a great game in the second half, it was the first 2 quaters that did them in. period...

i couldnt be more pleased with the upset, but know that Tech won't win out. this makes the Big 12 south race all the more interesting! regardless of who takes the south, no north team will be able to beat them in the Big 12 Championship...

Saying Texas played poorly isn't exactly accurate. It also isn't fair to Tech. They outplayed us, fair and square.

How do you figure? IF Florida wins out and wins the SEC, I would think they'll likely face penn state since they are ranked higher in the coaches poll than USC. (remember, the AP poll no longer figures into the BCS rankings). And no way will USC hop Florida with their cupcake schedule. To me, its looking like Florida and Penn State in the NC (unless either team screws up). I agree though that Alabama will not survive. They still need to play LSU and possibly the SEC conf champ game, and likely lose one of those games if not both. And then we get to see another big 10 team massacred in the NC game....

Well ill eat my words about texas not having a shot anymore. They're number 4 in the BCS. Tech has 2 hard games coming up, and who knows what can happen as far as PSU.

Both these guys have Florida and Penn State playing for it all. That's good for the Gators but man will it be kinda boring to watch another Big 10 team get ROLLED UP when all the marbles are on the line.

Yup, I said UT would be 5 or 6, I'm glad I was wrong and they are 4, which is where they should be but I thought they would get fucked in this stupid system. They still have an outside shot at the NC game, but I would be thrilled with any Major Bowl.

I have a feeling we are about to see a lot more of Malcolm Williams also. He proved that he can really stretch the field with his size and speed.

Im telling you guys now... mark it. Iowa will beat penn st, Iowa hasnt really played anyone hard, but they've lost 4 games by a combined 12 pts. I think it'll be a close game, with Iowa pulling it out

I'll eat my words. Good job, BCS. Tech SHOULD be #2, and if they win out, they SHOULD get a shot at the title. Glad to see they got that right.

It was the right thing to do to put Tech #2 in the BCS over Penn St. Tech is a much better team than PSU and would rout them if they played. I hope Iowa beats Penn St. this weekend to get rid of them. They're weak.

This thing is a long way from being over. I still think that Okie State beats Tech Saturday night and I also think the Red Raiders will lose to OU as well. The win over Texas was Tech's Super Bowl and they will no doubt be flat next Saturday going against a damn good OSU team and will go down. This is going to get real interesting.
