Actually it is very simple for the Sooners. Win out, win the Big XII Championship game, hope for a Bama and PSU loss and play Florida for the National Championship. Not possible, did anyone really think we would unfortunately be saying President Barak Hussein Obama? Anything is possible.

I don't think Texas will lose again either, and the OSU game is going to be a tough one. I do think we'll take care of business in the Tech game.......fortunately we have it in Norman!

DrG makes a great point. Not a bad consolation prize for the south team that doesn't make the Big 12 championship game...win your last three games and you will be rewarded in a huge way.

why do they even have steps 6 and 7? Isn't it impossible for there to be a 'tie' in the BCS standings?

No matter what happens, the Big 12 is on top again in college football. The best two teams in the Big 12 South should be the ones playing for a championship berth, not any teams from the North. I wonder what the chances of them eliminating the North/South deal in the future? We are guaranteed to see some great football over the next several weeks.

GO POKES!!

Stomp...

in theory, no. there are often ties in the computer part of the BCS calculation, and if the AP & Coaches polls have teams flip flopped then there could be a tie...don't think its ever happened though.

Best scenario for either OU or OSU is just win your final three games and take your BCS birth which will surely come. It might be better not play in the Big 12 championship game. The teams above both teams have a good chance to lose except for Penn State. Texas is wounded right now with injuries and has to beat Kansas at KU where they are a different team than on the road.

It will come down to Bedlam for the BCS birth assuming both teams beat TTech. A one loss Big 12 team is a shew in for a BCS birth.

OU just needs to concentrate on each game one at a time and win out. Everything else is out of their hands. That being said, Tech has some favorable match ups against our secondary, their defense is much improved and we've had our struggles against Tech. But being mad about a few contraversial losses in the past few years and being at home might be enough to get us past Tech, but certainly no guarantees. They did take care of Texas which we couldn't do. If we manage that one, we follow up a very tough game at OK State the very next week, and OSU has certainly given OU plenty of trouble lately. It's doable, but will not be easy at all.

DrG may be right in one aspect, while I would love another Big XII championship, especially in a year we can call them the best league in the country, the extra week may be what OU needs to get them ready for a big bowl game. On the other hand, Alabama will lose and winning the Big XII may get them into the NC game against Penn State and that would definitely be worth it.

It would be cool for OU to win out, but then even if we win the Big 12, guess where we'll go again? Fiesta. Getting sick of that one. Hopefully there will be some way we could get in the NC game if we win out. Oh well.

Taking my Crimson glasses off, afraid that Texas won't lose again. OU will lose to either osu or the sand aggies (given their pathetic defense), and end up in the Holiday Bowl.

OSU gave TEXAS all but the kitchen sink only to end up mismanaging the last 4 min. of the game oddly enough TEXAS TECH beat TEXAS by managing the last 4 min. of the game. OSU has a slim chance of winning at TEXAS TECH but all it takes is one point to win and OSU defense as strong as they are can create that one point difference in the last 4 minutes of the game.
OU will have to show they are the team to beat TEXAS A&M could be asleep one weekend and suprise you the next. OU can play a fair game against TEXAS A&M as long as they are asleep and OU vs OSU this year will be the game to watch for Oklahoma fans this year OSU is a match team for OU. just like TEXAS has become the team to beat in the BIG 12 these 2nd best teams like OSU, TEXAS TECH and now OU have alot to prove in their last four games and the last four minutes of the game.
YOU GOTTA LOVE THE BIG 12
