And he conveniently dismisses the fact that we just curbstomped the team that beat Texas, and also gets the percentage points that Texas is ahead of OU by (he states .084%) which is incorrect. Therefore, that article is null and void. And obviously, he is a Texas fan (or an OU hater).
Thats because you didn't repond until 6:12pm. I gave you until 6:00pm. That would be like placing a bet with someone after a game has already started. Everyone knows that the BCS results were going to be released between 6:00-6:30pm. It took all of the fun out of making the bet.
I doubt that, seeing as he picked OU at the beginning of the season (and during preseason) to be playing in the NC.

Mark was hating on Texas big time early this season also.
7420 really spouts off with some BS, he might of watched football for the past 30 years but he hasn't watched it closely at all these last 3-4
if the voting were fair and unbiased, OU WOULD have jumped., but people are people...if you look at it before they all played squat, they were tied at 0-0. They all played and traded places as it unfolded. Once they're tied again, they should be back where they started. With OU ahead again.

Bottom line is voters will vote for whoever they think will matchup best with the SEC winner, whether they won head-to-head or not.

Verdad Gallardo Until there's a playoff this is the kind of crap that we have to deal with. However, it's not like the season is over. Lets let the rest of the games play out and then see where we're at. What's the point of arguing over something when the regular season isn't even complete?

You're right. Texas should have beat Tech. Same can be said of OU. If they had beaten Texas when they had their chance there wouldn't be an argument either, right? Bottom line is, a case can be made for both UT and OU and both sides have their valid points. At this point all it is is a bunch of opinions and that's it.

1 thing that seems to be left out among all you OU fans, yes you beat up on Tech at "HOME" and UT "LOST" to Tech in Lubbock. It has been proven that Lubbock is one of the toughest places to play and win, Texas lost there this year and OU lost there last year. So don't dismiss the fact that Texas lost in a very tough place and Tech lost in a very tough place in Norman. Tech is outstanding and almost unbeatable at home and we gave it a hell of a try just coming up short by 1 dropped int. Doesn't matter we still lost and the voters also think that getting beat on the road in a hostile enviroment is worth some type of points.
You know what would suck would be UT and OU both losing this week. Not probable but possible. The Jets beat the Titans on Sunday so anything is possible.

Fact: UT-OU, OU led the MAJORITY of the game. UT pulled it off Nice game
Fact: TT-UT, UT led the MAJORITY of the game. TT pulled it off Lucky break
Fact: OU-TT, OU DOMINATED the WHOLE game, no disputing it. of the 3, OU is shown to be stronger, location irrelavant, the teams showed up and played.

Probably for the same reason you're still bringing up margin of victory when it is no longer part of the equation either.
