the fact is TEXAS BEAT OKLAHOMA. If that doesnt hold weight in anybody's mind, then they should not be allowed to vote in polls. UT > OU on neutral site. TT beat UT on a last second TD when TT was at home. OU defeated TT at OU. I firmly believe on a neutral field, TT does NOT beat UT. Therefore, UT > TT AND OU in my mind.

Playoff, NOW.

I think it comes down to which team(s) are more likely to blow you out or beat you. Oklahoma or Texas? Florida or Alabama?

UT is getting screwed. they played count'em 4 top 10 teams in a row and finally got tripped up with last second heroics on the road in what amounts to the biggest home game tech had ever played. Playing those games back to back should mean something.

They don't like to talk about FSU and the Jimbo pistol spread much around here. I told them over a year and a half ago to forget Saban their real loss was Fisher. They could have made him coach also but insisted on another Archer DiNardo moment.

Yes the noles have just vaulted back into the top 25 with a 37-3 bowout of over #22 Maryland. I tried to tell the noles would say hello when their elevator went by them on the way to the top while theirs was headed south.

Not on a neutral field, and not after playing 3 top 12 teams in the 3 preceding weeks.

no one gives a shite. since we're talking 'on the field' the only thing that matters apparently is the scoreboard.

Men lie statistics are more relevant but what happens on the field will never lie to you.

Don't forget that the tide turned in th OU-Texas game when our middle linebacker tore his ACL in the 3rd quarter. OU did not have backup ready to play, and Texas abused our backup over the middle with Shipley. Also OU was not running the ball effectively before or during the Texas game (much like Florida before and during the Ole Miss game). I really believe that if OU and Texas played again tomorrow that we would win by at least 10.

I think Oklahoma is better than Texas, but I also think Florida is the best team in the country. You can't let speculation overpower results.
