Yes.. we all knew. But, the tie-breaker is retarded.. It's a subjective system that is completely out of the control of the teams affected by it.
I don't like using point spreads for several reasons... First, it encourages teams to run up the score... as does this current stupid polling/computer system. I HATE that. WHen there are 25 seconds left in a 13 pt game, and the other coach is NOT calling timeouts, you TAKE A FREAKING KNEE! You DON'T score another TD to impress stupid poll voters who only see the final score.
Second.... Not all games are played in the same scoring conditions. Should one or two teams be penalized if they played a low scoring game in a 50 mph wind storm in Lubbock, or a snow-storm in Colorado?
Or, what if one team has a SUPER defense and just wins in low scoring games? Offense is not everything to me.
Short of some kind of playoff, I don't see a fix. In the meantime, I'd prefer something as stupid as "longest away plays"... just to keep the excitement level in the conference up.
I DON'T believe Oklahoma is derseving. They are a sloppy team that commits way too many penalties and will killed by either Florida or Alabama....IMHO
We can get Linus and the Great Pumpkin to develop a tie-breaker system based on the number of “most sincere victories.”
