I agree that a playoff system is the way to go. I am not an Obama supporter, but thats one thing that I agree with that he wants to do.

You think they'll factor in the fact that Oklahoma has lost their last two bowl game(WV and Boise State)?

exactly, hopefully he can be as successful and the results will be just as good. if not, ideally OSU could still beat OU and Missouri could run it up on Tech like OU did.

Since when did the playoff thing become an Obama idea? That discussion has been around for years. Like someone said previously, we'll see what happens after the dust settles this weekend.

New presidents have more influence on college football than most think. Bonus points for anyone who can name the president who had a big hand in getting the BCS started!

It isn't Obama's idea...but he's pushing for it.

If OSU beats OU and Texas beats A&M, Texas will play for the national championship regardless if they go to the Big 12 CCG. Think about it, who is going to be in front of UT if this happens? Either Alabama or Florida is going to lose in the SEC CCG and one of them is out and one is in. OU would have lost and would be out. Regardless of what USC does they won't jump Texas. Even if Tech goes to and wins the Big 12 CCG they won't pass Texas. Simple, right, lol?

Now if OU wins against OSU then that will set off a firestorm as to who should go to the Big 12 CCG and reinforces why a playoff is needed.

I'm rooting for OSU this weekend, which will end all argument for the Sooners.

Sucks - one dropped, easy interception by Blake Gideon against Tech and none of us UT fans would have to worry about all of these scenarios.

If OSU beats OU this coming weekend, UT will likely play in the NC game, namely because Tech won't jump UT in the BCS ranking now and that is all that matters for the title game...and assuming Tech beats Baylor, we play in the Big12 title game, and if we then beat Missouri we'd be in the Fiesta Bowl more than likely.

I've got my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.

From what I know, he's fine. He's listed as the starter on the depth chart for the A&M game and all of the tests came back negative for any injuries (not even a concussion).

Sorry guys, but OU is probably gonna be at that big 12 champ. game. Stoops may fail in bowl games, but he sure can motivate his team to get there barring injuries.
