Wow - at the rate you’re going, you’ll be screaming about hanging chads next.
It’s over, and no amount of bitching about it is gonna change it. Oklahoma is going to the Big XII championship game, and if they win, to the BCS Title game. And it will be a good game.
Texas can have the Fiesta against Utah or somebody.
Better luck next year.
Ok... I take back what I said about OU not be “deserving”... they have a hell of a team, especially on offense. They’ve played exceptionally well.
But... I still think the entire system is F’d up beyond repair. This scenario didn’t lead me to that conclusion... I’ve thought it for a long time. Ironically, it is a slight of AUBURN ( A team I have NO affection for) that has exposed the goofiness of both the old system and the new BCS system:
In 1983, Auburn got out-voted by a COMPLETELY UNDESERVING Miami team... who, beat ONE Top 20 team all year... in the Orange Bowl, because a coked-up Irving Fryar couldn’t catch.
And, the travesty a couple of years ago, when Auburn went undefeated in the SEC,(Something I never thought possible) and didn’t get an invite to the BCS title game... because, of... hmnn.. wasn’t it Oklahoma? Who went on to be slaughtered in the Title game??
It’s a pitiful system.
You keep harping about the 3-way tie. (And why not, it’s the ONLY argument OU has)... But, seriously... given the fact that Tech lost recently, and lost BADLY.... the choice for the BCS voters WAS, only a 2-team choice. And, in a 2-team choice... my vote will ALWAYS go to the result on the field.
IF this situation were reversed, I’d be smugly saying “you guys got screwed, but we’re going to the title game”... But, I would NEVER try to defend this system.
For the record though... I don’t believe the BCS title game will be good. I think, it will be a blow-out.
