Ok Texas fans you know us Sooners hate you, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how a Florida team who lost to a sorry team at home is ranked above UT who lost to a top 10 team on the road.
It should be OU-UT for the championship. Maybe if Brown had politiced for that instead of complaining about a 5th tie breaker he might have convinced some people.

Mack put himself in an unsupportable position.

According to the Texas line of thinking, Texas' ten point win against OU on a neutral field should count, but Florida's eleven point win against Alabama on a neutral field wasn't such a big deal......

To Florida's credit, after that loss, they kicked butt. Then they beat the #1 team for the SEC title. That's why they're in the final. Probably would've been on top if your Sooners didn't rack up a record 700+ points this year.

That would be sweet, wouldn't it?
