I'm telling you Texas will be USC/Ohio State with an easier schedule and more money. They are brilliant.
I know. And it bothers me.

so they would take a PAC or BIG LOSER team with no loses before an SEC team with 1 loss? That is insane. SEC should still get pull due to strength of Scheduling. Surely the commissioner will not let this happen.

Nebraska gave TEX all they could handle in the B12 champ game.
Texas's path to being undefeated just became easier.
I am still hoping that B12 takes in two more teams, perhaps TCU and BYU.

This. UT is about to go on a major run and the only question of their place in history will be how they perform in the BCSCG. UT is now positioned to be the team of the decade.
Agreed.

You know, the team Hogs hung 28 on made them look silly last year.
They ain't all that.

Yes if they start out relatively highly ranked. Hell, Boise State might make it this year if they go undefeated considering they will start out ranked highly.
It is goddamn infurriating.

That's the point. They don't have to be.
In college football, anything can happen in one given game. Especially if you have a competitive team.
9 out of 10 times, Boise loses that Fiesta Bowl to OU. OU was better at every position. With Texas, they are probably at least as good as the #3 SEC team every year, as good as the #2 team 30% of the time and as good as our champ 10% of the time.
But in college football, where a shitty Tennessee team can almost beat Alabama, the odds are that if they bring their A game on a night where the SEC champ brings their C+ game, the Horns win.
So their formula is simple. Make tons of money and play one to three real games. Win lose and you waltz into the title game where you have a 35-45% chance of winning depending on the quality of the SEC champ.
I'm sorry but that is very smart.

If so it will be because they are good, not because they are in a easier conference. Tards have been on hear freaking out that any number of teams from USC to West Va, Ohio State etc would make a BCS CG because of their easy schedule, but it almost never happens. Playing weaker teams can just as easily bite you on the arse.

Sure as sh*t ain't Mack Brown.
If Mack Brown is so bad can you explain why his last 2 years at UNC they lost a GRAND TOTAL of 3 games, but have lost at LEAST 5 every year since he left?
Also care to explain why Texas went 15 years without finishing in the top 10, but have won 10 every year he has been at Texas except his first 2?

Article I just found that pretty much says what I said an hour or two ago.
quote:
Eliminate Nebraska: Check.
Eliminate Colorado: Check.
Eliminate Big 12 Championship Game, a game in which we came within an eyelash of losing last year: Check.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the University of Texas Conference.
When the Big 12 lost Colorado and Nebraska last week, the conference was on life support. Apparently that's right where Texas wanted it to be. UT manipulated this entire realignment situation to get more money while playing weaker competition.
Mission accomplished.
The resurrection of the Big 12 is nothing more than a stay of execution for the embattled conference. Sure, the conference higher-ups will tell you that it's in the best interest of the league to continue on as a 10-team conference. They'd be wrong. The shift of power to the south -- which is what ultimately sent Colorado and Nebraska packing -- only becomes amplified with this 11th hour deal. In this new look Big 12, the winner of the Red River shootout between Texas and Oklahoma will essentially have a cake walk to the BCS Championship Game. Something tells me that's not going to go over well in the long run.
Texas' manipulation of the rest of the Big 12 is baffling, but the big picture is even more frustrating. College football took two steps toward the era of the super-conference last week. Sure, it wouldn't be a playoff, but it'd be a nice substitute. After all,we may not settle it on the field, but eventually, the major players would be on equal footing.
Monday evening, it took four steps back.

can't wait till UT brings the roof down on their heads. hopefully they're the next target on the NCAAs board 
Posted on 6/14/10 at 11:10 pm to Tiger n Miami AU83
the computers are gonna murder Texas with their incredibly weak schedule and no championship game so any team from the SEC, Pac 10, or Big 10 with 1 loss will pass up an undefeated UT in the end

Won't happen. Texas does not have to cheat as much to sign players. Basically, they offer, the kid signs if he is from Texas which 90% of their roster is.

IF they lose a game. If they run the table, they are golden. And they just insured that running the table is easier to do than in years' past.

for now. once Texas brings down the big12-lite maybe the story will change.
all it takes is a rogue booster or two anyways.

Nah, they'll still be higher in the polls. And they actually might still be ahead (or at least really close) in the computers. Their schedule won't be as good as those other conferences, but it won't be too far behind, and the loss by the other team compared to undefeated Texas will be taken into consideration by the computers. Like I said, though, it won't matter, since the human polls will put them ahead.

or more (like 2/3)?
Think about it. There path to the BSCCG now is win one neutral site game against a team they are more talented than (OU). Their biggest threat is GONE.
There is no conference championship game now. A round robin with BYU and Air Force now?
OCC, Texas will always play a joke team in a 2 for 1 and the other small school Texas rivals.
Texas will start every season in the top 5 due to talent. They will go undefeated (IMO) at least every other year for a while (maybe 3/5).

People said the same shite about USC b/c they are in the PAC(aka WEAK)10. Yeah, that worked out great for them...how many BCSCGs in the past 10 years? And going back to UT, I didn't realize that it was Nebraska and Colorado that held UT out of the 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008 BCSCGs.
WAIT, it wasn't Nebraska and Colorado that kept UT out of 10 of the past 12 BCSCGs. It was Mack Brown's underachievement during those years (1998-2009) that kept Texas out of the BCSCG.
BUUUUUTTTTT....I thought Texas was a LOCK now that pesky Nebraska and Colorado were out of the way!!!
Whatever...UT is a big fish in a very small pond...and while I still love the fact Vince Young managed to beat USC (I give Mack Brown little credit for that win), I sure as hell do not believe that UT is LOCK for anything. USC was more of a lock under Pete Carroll (who I dislike more, but think was a hell of a better coach than Mackie boy), and they weren't locks either despite their pansy arse conference/easy schedule combined with the media's embarrassing man crush on them.
NO ONE IS A LOCK in the BSCCG except a one loss SECCG winner, and in many years, a two loss winner. When a two loss UT or a one loss team from the Big Whatever They're Called Now Conference is a 'lock' to get into the BCSCG, call me.
