Sorry, that was bad sportsmanship, but it felt SO good! That having been said, Colorado could very well beat Texas this weekend. Glad that I'm not a betting man. They may be playing the best ball in the country, but an opening game loss to Fresno State(decided in the final minute) will virtually eliminate them from playing for the nat'l champ. Just goes to show what a sick stupid joke the Bull Crap System is, WE NEED A PLAYOFF, otherwise it is a Marxist system, based on popularity, emotion, myths, and subjectivity, not facts(actual head to head games). But hey, guess that's payback for Colorado's bogus nat'l championship(can you say 5th down? 2 losses and 1 tie that season, and a phantom clip in the Orange Bowl).
But if the Longhorns do win, given the present system they have a better claim than Florida to play in the Rose. A loss to the defending Nat'l Champs, versus a loss to a mediocre Auburn, they should never have jumped Texas. Florida has always been somewhat fraudelent, when's the last time in the regular season that they played a good team outside of conference or the state of Florida? Sure Texas non-conference schedule was down this year, but they did have North Carolina, a top 10 team when scheduled, and one that beat FSU handily and is bowl bound. Big 12 is better than SEC this year. But like Notre Dame, tie goes to Florida teams. Remember how last year so many in the media were wondering how Oklahoma could in any way keep up with oh so mighty FSU? But at least FSU will usually schedule a quality non-conference opponent, and isn't afraid to travel to places such as NJ and Michigan. Same for Miami, lame conference notwithstanding, they'll go all the way to Seattle. That's something I've always respected in Michigan and Notre Dame, and usually Texas and Tennessee. But not Florida(who dropped Miami). Even Nebraska upgraded its non-conference. And no crying about how tough the SEC is, since Tennessee handles it and travels to places such as Syracuse and South Bend. So if you can't already tell, I have no respect for the Florida program, and will root for any team BUT them, even Miami. When they quit hiding and trade a game against the Poor Blind Sisters U. in the Swamp for a road trip to Oregon, Stanford, or UCLA, I'll change my tune.
