Now ESPN has started running blogger comments across the top of the screen during the game! Stop it! Question...will there be a playoff in the picker's lifetime?

I wonder how long Brent Musberger will talk about the empty seats in Boone Stadium. What a way to embarass the State of OK, two top rated teams and it might not be a sell out. Mike Holder, 10000 X $100 is alot more than 10000 X 0.

1a. The picker actually thinks you can use head to head matchups to break up a 3 way tie. Still waiting for picker's poll that has Texas over OU, Texas Tech over Texas, and OU over Texas Tech. Nice logic.

Is Ole Miss rated above Florida? No? Is Oregon State rated above USC? No?

"If you build it, they will come." Well, at least one game per season, every other year....

Picker, you're really clinging to this "OSU Scalping" thing. Tell me, should all schools stop selling season tickets after the start of the 1st game? As far as I know, every school continues to sell season tix throughout the season (unless of course they sell-out - which OSU doesn't have to worry about). You're basically saying any school selling season tickets beyond game 1 is scalping. Care to elaborate?

Also, if these fans would put their money where there mouths are, they could have bought season tix in July like I did, and did whatever the heck they please with the tickets to games they won't/can't attend, thus your scalping theory is null and void. Elaboration?

I do enjoy your banter though.

'If' OSU loses, will people be saying they lost because 10,000 empty seats took away some of the 'home field' advantage?

Gus4Dogcatcher: Gus, you're kidding, right? Not use head-to-head competition in a three-way tie-breakers? What else do you want to use, the quality of the barbecue for the free lunches for the media homers? The only other thing worth a thought is the home field edge. That alse gives Texas the edge. Fair is fair, isn't it?

Here goes picker sounding off like an idiot. The nature of a 3 way tie is that you cannot use head to head as a tiebreaker. I would think most, if not all human beings would realize that leads to one neverending circle. Let me illustrate for you...

Texas is ahead of OU who is ahead of Tech who is ahead of Texas who is ahead of OU who is ahead of Tech who is ahead of Texas. It's like Lambchop's Playalong with the song that never ends.

Can you believe people actually voted Texas ahead of Texas Tech this week? What are they thinking?!?!? Ridiculous logic picker, ridiculous.

Let's use the logic that has Florida and USC where they are. Who is playing the best football right now? We have Texas losing to a Texas Tech team by 6 on the road 7 days prior to OU beating Texas Tech by 44 at home. I don't think homefield is worth a 50 point swing, so I think it is safe to say OU is playing better football than Texas right now. Doesn't matter though, we need to find that picker poll that has Texas ahead of OU, OU over Tech, and Tech over Texas. Is the home field edge really worth a 50 point swing?

It's cool though, the computer formulas will put OU ahead of Texas after a solid road win against a top 15 Pickens State team regardless.

Whoa. "Will Manning-brothers-like OU quarterback Bradford...?"

Mr. World, I applaud your proper use of hyphens. But knowing how to do it properly doesn't make it necessarily advisable. Very awkward. (Now there's a good opener for some of your detractors.)

LexKY, (11/30/2008 11:38:59 PM)

Face it World Picker, you are in way over your head arguing Texas should be ahead of OU because they beat OU; while Tech's win over Texas is not relevant and can thus be erased. Such ignorance as you exhibit is worthy of being in the tank as bad as ESPN. Who are you, Kirk's little brother??

It is a tie, stupid. A tie.
