Texas will not be leap-frogged by OU...

... no matter what happens tomorrow night, and Colt McCoy will win the Heisman. Book it!

It will come down to Voters because the Computers are automatically going to put OU ahead.

Plus OU will get out to a great start vs OSU and it will be another blowout.

Its another Florida State / Miami travesty. This time Texas is Miami.

I hope you're right, but I really doubt it. Everyone seems to think OU will pass Texas with a win. And since human polls are 2/3 of the system, what people think matters in this case.

You can "book it" all you want, but the fact of the matter is they will as long as they beat OSU, as they should. Oklahoma is playing better, right now, than any other team in the country. All Texas had to do was master the tip drill and they wouldnt be in this position.

The Heisman is a two man race right now between Bradford and McCoy and whoever gets to play in the Big XII title game will likely win it (as long as they win, of course). It's hard to fathom that, if Bradford wins the Big XII title game as OU goes to the NC game that he wont win it.

Florida is playing better than OU and has been for a while.

We'll find out who is better come January, cause Florida will dogstomp Alabama in the SEC Title game and OU will roll Missouri in the Big XII Title game

That is debateable, about OU playing better right now...Stoops has always been insecure and would run up the score just to overcompensate for something....:laugh2: . Mack will score big, but he will call off the dogs quite early in the 4th. I have seen Bradford in the game with a couple minutes left and the Sooners with 60+ points and a 40+ point lead. Meanwhile, Mack will take Colt out early in the 4th and bring in the mistake prone Chiles to finish out the game. I am sure if Mack wanted to, he could have UT scoring 60 against teams like A&M, Baylor, etc.....I am not saying either way is right or wrong. I am saying that is the difference in their philosophies. Also, Texas' defense and special teams have been superior to OU this year.

The Horns are a bullride away from being #1 in the nation, can OU make this claim?

 

[Aikbach]

I'm disappointed Texas Tech loaned a high school team their uniforms and stayed home against OU because I genuinely feel they are the best team in the Big 12 and maybe the country.

If that all happens then OU better hope the game is in Norman because if it's not they'll get rolled.

What Oklahoma did to tech, after tech had beaten two top 10 teams (and they DESTROYED OSU) was one of the most impressive things I've seen in any sport this year. Their defense went from suspect to dominating, and their offense continued to be unstoppable against a defense that had played pretty damn well since the 1st half of the A&M game.

I find it hard to imagine that if Texas and OU played again that the result would be the same. Texas, while very good, look pretty average against both A&M and Baylor in the 1st half. Oklahoma is doing things to bad teams that shouldnt be legal in this country.

IMO, both teams will end up in a BCS bowl and both will win, but the BCS is about what have you done for me lately, and OU ending the year by beating two great teams will really help them. The Red River game happened a long time ago in BCS terms.

Starting off threads where we can "book it" that OU will not pass Texas and all this whining about running up the score in a college game will make the win that much sweeter tomorrow if it happens. Both the two of you will get a big "choke on it" tomorrow night if that happens.

Talk atcha tomorrow night and on Sunday. Book it.

The only place Tech doesn't assume the fetal position is in Lubbock and Kyle Field. The only thing that shocked me about the OU/Tech game was that anybody was shocked.

I do see some bull but it's not a ride.

I have to shake my head at this thread.

Lay off the sauce Poke. You told you weren't hitting the booze so hard this year.

the flaw with your argument is that OU played the same exact way before the texas game and has played the same since. They were destroying lesser opponents before that game, its not like they are looking any better now than they did prior to the texas game. the fact of the matter is that, on a neutral site, they punched ut in the face and werent a costumed to being punched right back just as hard if not harder. UT is the better team, they proved it on a neutral site.

as for the bcs here is my personal opinion....

when OU beats okie state, the computers might have OU jump over texas, but if they do gain points in the computer polls i dont think it will be as much as people think they will gain, although i do think OU will gain on texas in the computers as long as they win...

however, a lot of pollsters voted on emtion after the tech win and i believe that UT will actually gain some points in the human polls. Now, wether thats enough to keep them ahead of OU is a completely different story, i think it will be closer than most people think

Not even close. Their defense is nowhere close to being dominating.

#1 Florida
#2 Oklahoma
#3 Texas
#4 Alabama

im not whining about running up the score....i have no problem with it actually. Leach does it just to do it, kind of like Spurrier....but Stoopes does it cause he is insecure.

The way I see it, a game is 60 minutes. You play defense and offense for the full 60.

I guess you missed the 8 seconds analogy.

Texas started slow against OU remember. They have been a much better second half team in conference this year, except for the Missouri game.
