As an OU fan living in Texas, I’d have to agree. But I’m glad a Big 12 team finally won a bowl game...I was beginning to wonder if we were over-rated this year.

Not over-rated, but bowl let downs happen frequently to teams that almost get to the National Championship. That and Ole’ Miss is much better than it’s record.

You haven't been paying attention. The much maligned (in Texas) Northern Division of the Big 12 is 3-0 in bowl games. Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas all won. Okla State and Texas Tech lost, Texas won. Oklahoma hasn't played yet. The Big(?)10 or 11 is now 1-6 in bowl games.

You most certainly are. Highly touted Missouri and Texas Tech got destroyed in bowl games this year by "inferior" teams.

Then Texas eeks out a win when Ohio's number 1 offensive weapon Chris Wells is out with an injury the whole 2nd half.

I think Utah deserves #1 after watching them take alabama apart.
