There is no “magic number”. I’m just a bit ticked that for two straight weeks, Texas got jumped in the BCS when there really was no reason for them to get jumped. The voters and computers didn’t seem to think that that loss to Tech mattered all that much at first (otherwise Oklahoma would have jumped Texas and stayed ahead in the BCS standings released just after the loss and in the following weeks). Instead, Oklahoma jumped Texas only after Texas had beaten their second biggest rival by 40 points! What magic number should Texas have put on A&M to stay ahead of Oklahoma?
You seem not to agree with my comments that a one second loss or a 40 point loss still equal a loss. Sure one is a blowout, much like your win over A&M this year, but it still only counts as one win for the year, just as your loss to Texas Tech counts as a loss.
But you can count on Mack changing the rules for next year so he can politic more if this happens again.
