Don't be mad homer because karma caught up with your team. Your team was helped in that Oklahoma game. Oh that is right, lets ignore the drives that resulted in points which were stopped but continued due to an obvious bad call.
Idiots like you don't know football & overall talent. USC is the best team in the country & would not be an underdog to anyone in the country.
So tell me why your team deserves the spot over Oklahoma & Texas Tech? Don't give me the H2H as you like other two are only 1-1 against each other.
The overall body of work by Oklahoma trumps Texas EASILY. Their OOC schedule is vastly superior & those wins helped out big time. Quick tell me what non Big 12 BCS conference champion Texas beat? Oh that is right, you didn't even play one.

Do you have a firm enough grasp of the English language to be able to read and follow along in an argument? If not, please go away. No one here is "hating" on OU, grow up and take your blinders off.
As for the TT-UT game, do you know who Blake Gideon is?
Let's do this... go stand 5 feet away from me. I'll then lob a football to you underhanded right to your midsection with no velocity on it. If you can catch it, I'll give you $12 Million dollars. If you don't, I get $12 Million. Care to take that challenge?
That should put your TT-UT argument to bed.
Blake. Gideon. Remember the name.
everybody in the world knows the system is flawed but correct me if I'm wrong here but in last weeks poll didn't OU have 4 first place votes. So they actually lost 2 of them this week. All I'm saying is these 2 coaches clearly think that OU was the better than alabama even before this week. And I'm not going to bitch about that. I personally think OU is better than Alabama and I really don't care that OU has 1 loss while Ala is undefeated. Now if alabama had all 61 first place votes last week and than lost 2 of them to OU this week I might be a little upset. Remember in 1997 when Michigan had a huge advantage in both polls and than magically after Nebraska'a coach announced his retirement the coaches voted Neb. #1. That was alot more F-ed up than this is.
Also don't forget that 1 coach voted UF #1. Wonder who that was?

it takes someone seriously retarded to bring up texas tech. texas beat OU and Mizzou, they are tied for the best record in the big 12 south yet two teams they beat will play for the big 12.
texas tech does not factor in. how fucking stupid do you have to be to think that OU deserves a shot over a team that beat them by 10 on a neutral field?
pretty fucking dense.

everygamblersdream, first of all, Texas is not my team, second, Texas beat Oklahoma because they shut OU down in the second half, had more total yards, more first downs, held the ball for 37 minutes & had 0 turnovers. if i'm not mistaken, you said that OU would kill Texas the first game. Texas is one of the few teams that is just as fast as OU.
it woulda been kind of cool if it had come down to a draw.... live at 7:30....
who will be the team w/ the revenge factor next year between OU/UT? if i was a UT fan i'd be disappointed as hell, because one of the great things about our rivalry is that the winner will have the upper hand in the division... but TT's season threw a wrench into that.... NFL has a tiebreaker where they factor in scoring margin vs common opponents....OU would have won that one too...
this actually isn't a bad tiebreaker between 3 teams, because everything these teams did thoughout the got factored in. got to throw out the head-2-head unless someone wants to make a case for TT....
