If Texas loses once, and Oklahoma doesn't lose anymore, then Texas wins the tie-breaker (having defeated Oklahoma), and goes to the Big12 championship game for the chance to play for the automatic bid. If Texas loses twice, then our SOS drops so much that our computer ranking is compromised considerably. We'd still be playing for the auto-bid to the Fiesta Bowl, but we wouldn't be playing for a national title. |

If Texas slips up, despite their amazing run, they'll be in the Fiesta Bowl against Utah/TCU/Boise State.
Initially my reaction is that Utah would be creamed by either Texas or Oklahoma, but then again, if Utah defeats both TCU and BYU....neither of those opponents are pansies and the experience will just make Utah all the better. So we'll see what happens. Meanwhile suppose Utah defeats UT/OU. People will say they were dejected from not making the title game, a la Michigan in '06. But if UT/OU wins, people will say this just proves that mid-majors don't belong here. Yes folks that is my bold prediction; meanwhile I also predict that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. |
