  • Going for 2 at 21-19 is going to cost OSU the game, if they had kicked the extra point it would be 42-42 right now.

    ACK!
    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

    • Not much defense in this game. OU scores with receiver wide open, goes up 51-41.

      • OK, that last TD was totally unnecessary and only pisses me off more. Let's hope that was enough fight out of Oklahoma State to keep the Sooners behind Texas where they belong.

        • OU just running out the clock, but score a TD anyway. 61-41.

          • OU beat the spread pretty handily. I went into this week thinking Texas looked ever so slightly better. Now I think Texas is ever so slightly worse.

              Boo hoo. If you want to watch risk-averse coaches showing unnecessary mercy, go watch the NFL.

                • Texas will have #2. You boys can argue about it all you want. SHOULD the BCS go otherwise, they only proof the point of the masses; that they suck. So either way, ultimately I'll be satisfied.

                  • The TT/Tex/OU loop can be resolved pretty simply. Each lost one game.

                    Texas lost by 6 and won by 10.
                    Oklahoma lost by 10 and won by 44.
                    Texas Tech lost by 44 and won by 6.

                    Obviously, Oklahoma's the most impressive from those games alone. +34 differential vs +4 and -38. Oklahoma and Texas also have a number of common wins.

                    Baylor: Oklahoma +32, Texas +24
                    Kansas: Oklahoma +14, Texas +28
                    Tex A&M: Oklahoma +38, Texas +40
                    OSU: Oklahoma +20, Texas +4
                    Total: Oklahoma +104, Texas +96

                    Oklahoma with a very tiny edge here.

                    My gut feeling is that Texas played better in the games against non-common opponents.

                    I think Oklahoma is the better team. They ended up doing better against OSU than Texas did, which should improve their standing.

                    • We can also use point differential:

                      Overall
                      Texas Tech: +220
                      Texas: +304
                      Oklahoma: +342

                      Texas Tech: +94
                      Texas: +149
                      Oklahoma: +175

                          Yep, it was just running out the clock, but OSU couldn't stop it anyway.

                            and here's where I harp about competition, Texas Tech.
