...it's BULLSHIT that they'll play in the Big 12 title game.

it's a crime honestly that so many good teams are getting screwed in that conference

What about the fact that a team that does not win the Big 12, can win the national championship?

Fun game to watch versus Kansas, btw.

Reminds me of a few years ago, when Nebraska played for the national championship (got smoked by Miami) even though they not only didn't win the Big 12 North, but had gotten 62 hung on them by Colorado in their last game.

Total BS, but it could happen!

I was hoping the Tigers would pull it off, but they did not deserve to win today. An inferior team whupped their ass.

I agree completely.

I recognize and appreciate that Oklahoma is that damn good, but the fact of the matter is that Texas beat Oklahoma. Both teams have 1 loss, you HAVE to give the head-to-head matchup the most weight.

Oklahoma should be campaigning for a revenge game against Boise State in the BCS.

So what the NCAA is telling me is that a 3 loss team can win the Big 12.

Bullshit man! Bullshit!

Yeah, I was living out in L.A. then. I saw all these Nebraska people coming to town and was like, "What are you doing here? Don't you realize you're about to get murdered?"

By the way, I am going to start a thread on the sports board about the whole "freezing the kicker time-out" controversy.

It's almost always funny, even when it happens to a huge underdog like Auburn.

Consider that last year, for the first time, a 2-loss team won the National Championship. They'll eventually get to the point where the BCS Title Game somehow features Purdue (7-4) vs New Mexico State (1-11), and halfway through Purdue's 37-0 blowout, the ABC announcer will call the game an "instant classic."

I agree, the head to head matchup HAS to take precedence. It's insane that so often it doesn't.

Oh I love all these so called "experts" who claim that two teams in the same conference should not be able to play for the national title, even if they are ranked 1 and 2.

They wanna see the title game between teams from different conferences between cause watching a re-match is quote boring unquote.

I then call in to their shows and ask the question "If the top ranked team has zero losses, the 2nd ranked team has only one loss, both clear cut dominate teams but in the same conference AND the next ranked team has 2 loses, who should go to the national title?"

It's always entertaining to see them hang up on me abruptly and dance around the question in their egotiscal, self centered style of sports talk radio.

not really, i do think they're way overrated but they have the best record in the Big 12 north and that's all that matters, who cares anyway because they'll get slaughtered against whoever comes out on top of the Big 12 south.

Oh brother, QuakerOats somehow manages to get his fat ass off the toilet seat just long enough to come in here and give his backwoods, southern dummy, biased logic on how his 3 loss team still deserves a shot at becoming "Big 12 champs"

Missouri is the pride of "Squadfather country".

Texas (or Oklahoma) will crush them.

Yet another reason to hate 12-team conferences.

If conferences had 10 teams, each team could play every other team in the conference each year. That would still leave room for 3 non-conference games.

There's still zero justification for not having a home-and-home with each team in basketball, though.

By the way Baylor is up by 14 against Tech.

Art Briles one of the best high school coaches of all time.

Stephenville high school was THE team of the 90's.

It doesn't matter. Florida is going to crush anybody from the Big12. No defense in the Big12...none.

Crap, thanks to Baylor being Baylor, I'm now in a position where I have to root for Oklahoma to win a close, ugly game.

If OSU wins, I'm screwed. $:-\$
