Best Thing For College Football!

[trump tight]

As much as it rips my heart out to say it. . . the OU loss helps the Div. 1 college championship argument. No matter what happens tomorrow in the BCS, all three teams in the top 3 will have a legitimate argument to play for the championship in New Orleans.

Point of information #1: All major conferences do not play championship games. (only Big 12, and SEC do this)
- This is an "unfair" aspect of the selection process. Big XII and SEC teams "have" to play an "extra" game all while the other teams in the mix rely on their regular season schedule. (sometimes the have "split" conference champions)
-Pucker Factor: Extra game can work in team's favor for an "extra big win".
-Double Pucker Factor: Teams get no "extra credit" for beating a team twice. Once in the regular season, and then again in the championship game. No matter what their rank.

Point of information #2: Late season losses count more than early season losses.
I'll be the first one to say that OU got their heads handed to them, and their asses must feel like the new guy in prison, but this loss, no matter how bad it was - DOESN'T ERASE THEIR REGULAR SEASON ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Just because this team loses late in the season doesn't mean that they're washed up, or on a bad roll, or that they'll be worked in the next game, or that they're not the best team in the country. I'm not saying that they are the best in the land, but they definitely deserve a THOUGHT for playing in the National Championship game. The same goes for USC and LSU though.

In the long run, all of this shit that K-state caused is good for us getting a TRUE NATIONAL CHAMPION.

Ain't gonna happen.

It will happen.

It will happen in our lifetime.

It will not likely affect the current contract set to be up in 2006, but it will happen.

The more controversial the situation is, the more likely it is to bring about change.

 

[Hornsfan]

Ok, in our lifetime I will grant you that. Near future, no way.

I personally think the best thing for college football would be for Texas to win every game, Notre Dame, Miami, and Florida State to never win another game, and OU and AM to lose every game except for alternating wins against each other.

Each of those is about as likely as a playoff.

 

[Hornsfan]

I'll second that.

 

[trump tight]

I only say that it will happen in our lifetime because I'm 8 years old.

Sun Tsu: Do I smell a Horns fan? Funny chit. I agree - not likely, but I like your passion.

Why do so many folks HATE Oklahoma??? I do myself but had no idea I had soooo much company!!!!


GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone hates a winner. . . when it is not their team.

I know that there are some serious buckeye haters out there as well. . .

You shouldn't hate the Sooners for going to the National Championship game - hate the computers. Human element doesn't outweigh the computer element.

What was the score of the first OK-LSU contest?

Conf championships are for what was seen last night. If one division is loaded with good teams & the other division has one good team, it forces the good team to beat the best of the other division in the event that they dont meet.

The Big 10 needed one last year to force IA & Ohio State to play. The Big 12s system did it job, too bad the BCS didnt do its job.
