Texas deserves to be in the National Championship

[sdf]

I agree with the fact that the Cotton Bowl is a neutral SITE, with pretty much 50/50 fanbase, but you can NOT over look the number of calls that went Texas' way at that game.

blah blah blah. how about the roughing the punter call on Texas that was an extreme acting job by the punter who had to be helped off the field even though he was barely touched. Even the announcers made fun of him because it was a clear no call.

frankly, i cant believe this thread is still going on. OU made the Big12 championship game. they are deserving. So is Texas. they cant both go. Pick one. By a narrow margin. OU went.

We move on....

I agree with this thread 100%. Texas and Oklahoma are by far the two best teams in the Country and pending the Big 12 Championship Game, both should be playing for the National Championship.

Why is everyone acting like this hasn't happened before.

Did everyone forget 2000 when Miami beat FSU and UW beat Miami and FSU played OU.

haha i forgot about that, yes that was pretty lame. i guess there were crappy calls all around, but when you are a fan of one team, the ones that go your way don't stand out nearly as much. we should just bust up the north and south and the two best teams play in the big 12, nuff said.

There's a 3 way tie for first in the south. ESPN and ABC seem to forget this and only want to talk about Texas and Oklahoma. The fact is Texas Tech did beat Texas and Oklahoma played a tougher schedule. There should be a playoff system. There still would be a Big 12 team or two left out in 8 team playoff.

Yep, everyone forgets it's a three-way tie. The natural instinct is for people to eliminate TT because OU destroyed them. However, they have as much a claim to be the Big XII South winner as Texas and OU do, before tiebreakers are factored. If any Texas homers disagree, it's because of how bad TT lost to OU. In essense, TT is being punished for being the destroyee, but no one is crediting OU for being the destroyer.

Also, Tejanos, keep in mind that in order for the Shorthorns to even have had a chance they had to root for OU to beat OSU. In other words, if OSU would have beaten OU, TT would have been the South champion, not Texas. So now all of a sudden, with OU's victory people claim that Texas is being screwed which makes no sense whatsoever.

God Almighty, get over it. Ever year someone posts the exact same message <insert team here>. The system isn't perfect, never will be. Someone will always be pissing and moaning. Deal with it. Move on.
