How does that make Texas Number One in the country?

You misunderstand. To a Texas fan, they ARE Number One until someone beats them in a championship game. Their loss to Texas Tech this season doesn't count in their minds, because, 1) the game was played in Lubbock, 2) Tech won with :01 second left in the game, and 3) after all, it's just Texas Tech and it was a fluke.

So, according to their logic, they are Number One.

They call it tradition. It's really just delusion.

Penn St beat Oregon St beat USC beat Penn St

LOL

The only undefeated team in the country cannot be named first. The agreement with the BCS prevents the final poll from naming another team to avoid having teams like USC claim to be national champions when they were not in the championship game as they have done in the past.

I’d give USC more credit than I do this year if I thought Penn ST was all that much to brag about. Penn St got where they were by beating up on other weak Big 10 teams and by beating Oregon St - remember them?
