Texas is and always was a "favorite." No way in hell that anybody else gets that second back. Today...geaux TCU - jump their asses in the BCS.

Couldn't have been said any better.

Maybe so, but that is not what I am posing here. The play clock read 0:00 - Texas along the officiating got that second reinstated. Would a lesser ranked team, having the upset ability, get the same opportunity as Texas did.

This decision is directly tied to the officials and the efforts of the Texas football coach, plain and simple. Regardless if it was the correct call or not, what I am trying to say is that Nebraska would most probably not been given the benefit of the doubt had they ran the same exact play because:

They had no shot of going to the BCS Championship Game like Texas did.

Face it, every conference has their favorites, not just the SEC. If Nebraska had the ball and ran the same play, I seriously doubt that the one second would be reinstated.

I know that Texas will most probably play Alabama for the National Championship Game, but let's just say Texas "officially" lost last night's game.

Let's say TCU, a team from a non-automatic BCS Conference, plays Bama ande beats them, what does that do to the future of the BCS?

We have seen upsets before, namely Utah upsetting Bama last year in the Sugar Bowl and Boise beating Oklahoma a few years ago in the Fiesta. However, no non-automatic team has ever played in the BCS Championship Game.

What would happen if TCU gets there and beats Bama? Does that mean the BCS is on its way out eventually and a playoff system advanced? With Texas playing Bama in the Championship Game, the same ole' same ole' will continue.

Although I did not catch the game, I must say that the Texas name brand will probably get them into this game.

I am not an Alabama fan, but I will be for the National Championship game if Texas gets to play them. Texas lost the Big 12 Championship last night, but lobbying/cheating got that second back on the clock.

Let's say the shoe was on the other foot and Nebraska had the ball in the same scenario. Do you honestly think that second would go back on the clock? I don't think so.

The National Championship should be Alabama vs. TCU (I would be for TCU here - if TCU wins, you would see a playoff system evolve much faster).

But instead, we will probably get the Cheat Texas play Bama. I will be for Bama here.

Spot on, I would say if he left before the Arkansas game, LSU would be in a better situation.

100%? 0%? or somewhere in the middle 50%?

Why would the head coach @ Washington do this?

As long as you pay him enough, he would do it. The head coach at Washington does not even come close to what our head coach is getting.

i think as fans we are too hard on les miles. les miles has done a great job overall.

Sure, we are hard on Miles, but because of good reason. You can't continue to be talked about as a powerhouse if your team starts its downfall and does not pick itself back up.

Look at Bowden at Florida State. Think they are a powerhouse now? It was only a short time ago that they were THE SCHOOL in the state of Florida.

I was thinking that because Miles is half-heartedly taking responsibility for the Ole Miss debacle, do you think behind the scenes Crowton is getting the brunt of the blame and do you think he will be fired at season's end?

If so, when do you suspect this will be done and who do you think will be his replacement? Do you think Steve Sarkisian at Washington, Boise State's OC, or Charlie Weiss might be considered? Sure, you would have to pay these people $$$, but you would have to anyway if you are going to get somewhere. I think Charlie Weiss would be much more effective at being strickly an OC rather than head coach, sort of like he was at New England.

I guess a way to gauge if and when a possible replacement will be is to compare it to when Peveto/Mallory were let go and Chavis was signed. What month did that occur last year?

Quite a bit of posts state that Miles should go now, but there are also quite a few that are stating that he must win the SEC West next year to save his job.

Do you reallythink LSU has a chance? Alabama is only getting started with their renewed dynasty.
