USC gets cheated.
---------------------

That's funny! My side hurts so hard from laughing, it's hard to type.

You've lost all sense of reality.

USC cheated themselves.

And User,

Good point. USC will not be cheated. They don't deserve to sniff the BCS with a one-loss Big 12 team and SEC team there.

The Big 10 is a better league then the Pac-10.

Take this to the bank. OU 58-TT-28. Lets also go ahead and put this out there OU 52 OSU 31.

Gosh...I guess we all ARE idiots. Thanks for the heads-up, Ahole train.

Chris, you had me until you said the Big 10 is better than the Pac-10. The Big 10 is the most overrated bunch of slow guys ever assembled on a footballl field. The only reason anyone pays any attention to the Big 10 is the past greatness of some of those teams. Penn State is coached by a dinosaur and likely to lose to Alabama, Florida, OU, OSU, Texas Tech, Texas, USC by a wide margin. Hell, I'd give Boise St. and Utah an even chance against them. The Big 10 is only relevant because every conference game is for some weird rivalry trophy (Paul Bunyans Axe, the Little Brown Jug, Floyd of Rosedale, etc.). Reality is the Big 10, ACC, and Big East are no longer BCS worthy. You would say Ohio St., but I would come back with they went undefeated playing a bunch of no-bodies and the Big 10. The reason the Big 10 is so closely matched is not because they are all so good, but because they are all so mediocre. Beating a mediocre team by a lot doesn't make you great but losing to a mediocre team by even just a little makes you mediocre. All the naysayers about USC...this is a great team with incredible talent on defense and developing talent on offense. USC's one downfall is truly being motivated to play every game and hence why they have stumbled the past couple of years. Oh and anyone who thinks OU is going to trounce Tech is in dreamland...This is not the same Tech defense the Big 12 is accustomed to. OU will not be able to run the ball which will allow Tech pass rushers to target Sam Bradford...and pray tell who is going to cover Michael Crabtree?

Picker, while I don't agree with the method of A-Train I do believe he is correct. A 1 loss Tech v. a 1 loss Texas v. a 2 loss OU. Head to head goes to Tech. The only way for Texas to get to the big 12 over Tech is for Tech to lose to OU and OU to beat OSU. I am still interested to see if your "The team running the spread only wins at home" theory holds up. Will get a good test come Saturday, it would be a better test if it is not raining though. As for Danny and WCO, kiss my orange ....

um, it doesn't have anything to do with who should or shouldn't go to the Big XII championship game. If OU beats Tech but loses to OSU, Tech goes to the Big XII title game as they have the head-to-head tie breaker over UT.

To say Tech hasn't hit a lick on the road is flat out stupid. To say they haven't beaten anybody of note on the road would be on target, but to say they haven't hit a lick is a large overstatement. They murdered KSU, a lot better than OU did.

I meant to say "Name 2 other..." not "Name one 2...."

Picker,

There is a difference between a 2-way tie and a 3-way tie. Tech beat texas head to head and that is the only result that matters if they are the only teams in the conference with only one loss. However, if OU, Texas, and Tech all only have one loss, and each one beat one of the others, then how do you decide who goes?

Now, in all reality, Texas body of work and their loss to Tech as well as their win of OU are probably more impressive than Tech has done or OU will do, but still, it's not some flat-out objective decision. It's still one involving opinion and what angle you take it from.

Steve,

How do you automatically put Texas' body of work ahead of OU's? OU hasnt even played TT or OSU? OU's non-conference schedule is much better than Texas. That has to be considered. The good thing is that the BCS will look at those wins instead of disregarding them like a lot of poeple would choose to do.

STOP IT!

YOU CAN'T COMPARE BODIES OF WORK!

How would you compare USC's body of work with, say, Texas Tech's? OU's with Alabama?

Here how.

Flip a coin.

When you flip a coin, the side facing up comes up slightly more often than does the other.

Thats right you dont do it. And neither do I. They use the BCS to calulate the entire body. Thats the way it is right now. You comparing a Tech win vs Texas at home vs OU on Neutral vs Tech at OU is nonsense when it comes out to be a tie. You saying that OU getting in over Texas is the greatest "wrong doing" ever is just ignorant. If there is a tie then there is a tie. There is a system in place that takes a look at the WHOLE BODY of work. The team that is higher goes. Done...does texas have an arguement...sure but they shouldnt have lost to tech
