myronyellow Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Texas is gonna end up getting punished this year for losing to the country's #1 team (Ohio State). Outside of Ohio State, that #2 spot is anyone's to grab, but I don't like our odds. Check this out: BCS RANKINGS (From Smoak) ------------------------------------- 1 Ohio State (7-0) *Deserve to be there* 2 USC (6-0) *Weak schedule and overrated* 3 Michigan (7-0) *Probably playing best football of anyone beyond Ohio State... but we'll see what happens when they play. 4 Auburn (6-1) **Shouldn't be ranked ahead of Texas. 5 West Virginia (6-0) *Playing okay football 6 Florida (6-1) **Shouldn't be ranked ahead of Texas. 7 Louisville (6-0) **Playing good football. But weak conference. 8 Notre Dame (5-1) **Way overrated! Press hyped them up at the beginning of the season. Shouldn't be in the Top 10! 9 Texas (6-1) **Should at least be ranked #3 at this point. They've destroyed everyone they've played after the Ohio State loss. 10 California (6-1) **Overrated too. They're helping USC stay ranked at #2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The BCS is a wack system..... NCAA Div. I needs to go to PLAYOFFS with the TOP 8 or 16 teams and crown the champion the old school way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Is it Texas's Fault the rest of the teams in Big 12 stink? Your Sooners are definetly a dissappointment. I know Ohio State beat the Horns but I do know this is not the same Texas Team that the Buckeyes played in Sept. It would take a miracle for Texas to get to the BSC Championship. We'll have to be happy with a BSC Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLine06 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What I don't understand... How can Auburn still be ranked that high after losing a game. West Virginia is the real team that's getting shanked... Nothing personal but WV is not playing just okay football. Out of all the the teams, they get bashed the most for not throwing the ball which is stupid. Why go away from the offensive plays that has you winning. They have Louisville and Rutgers in that conference. Sad thing is that this team has two true sophmores... They can go for anothers two years before the pros. Big East Conference is #3 with #2 being Big Ten and the Toughest region with #1 being the SEC. Your going to have to prove that otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pakman99 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I wouldn't say that the rest of the Big 12 stink. Texas still have some teams left that can boost there ranking with wins over them.

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Pak, let me clarify, I meant they stink as far as being ranked. The Big 12 needs to get stronger throughout so that it not only helps my Horns but it would help all of the conference teams when it comes to Major Bowl games. As far as the Sooners,woulda, coulda,shoulda,ect. Spilt milk, time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakman99 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 DLine06! How can you put the Big East conference in front of the Big 12 when the only ranked opponent that the top 6 teams in the Big East has played was then #17 ranked Miami.

pakman99 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 imyahuckleberry I agree with you because I am a die hard longhorn fan. but as far the OKL vs ORG game that hurt UT in the BCS rankings because OKL would have been another top 10 team that UT would have played this year and would have made this interesting. NEB and A&M would have helped this situation and hoping that MIZZOU goes 10-1 into the Chamionship game would have made everyone go hmmmm. Watch the Big 12 in Bowl games this year.

pakman99 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I also think if another team plays in the Chamionship game have fun because UT will own it for the next 2-3 years with the loaded recruits and starters they have at each position.

fareasttexan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I honestly don't know or care who is #2 at this point. It's too early and the BCS or probably any other polls shouldn't be released this early. There are some very good teams out there. I love Texas but getting spanked by OSU doesn't help. People ranked higher will lose and others will continue to win. For instance, if Louisville or West Virginia wins out, they should be ranked higher than Texas. Tennessee should be undefeated and plays a tough schedule...like Florida, LSU and Arkansas. A playoff is the only answer and that's not going to happen. USC has some tough games ahead of them so we'll see how good they are or aren't. Texas just needs to dominate everyone they play and see what happens. The we they got whipped by OSU doesn't look good for a chance of a rematch though. We'll see in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakman99 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 How can you say they got whipped by OSU? You give UT that TD that pittman fumbles at the endzone and that is a different ballgame. I wish Brown (CB) had played because I still don't know who the Gonzalez kid was until that game. I was at the game and UT has everything to play with any team in the country but has to get rid of mistakes and that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name a great team besides Texas in the Big XII... Texas A & M would be smashed by a good team. Oklahoma: Their shafted to nth power. Texas Tech: Heck no. Baylor: Please Missouri: Decent but is going to be wrecked by Texas. Nebraska: Same thing... There are three solid teams that have been playing good football in the Big East.

CraigSmoak Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yes it does #### for Horn fans that they're so far down in the BCS. They will move up a few spots although a lot will have to happen for them to make it to the national championship. But, it's not like is the first year this has happened. There has always been 2-3 teams every single year complaining about the BCS. It's just the way it is. You can't win the national championship every year man. Ask Auburn about the BCS. As far as Big XII scheduling goes I'll use Nebraska as an example. The Huskers play their 4 non-conference games to start the year along with their 5 divisional opponents and 3 teams from the South division. The way the three teams are decided is a two-year cycle. For example, this year Nebraska plays Texas, @ Oklahoma State, and @ A&M. Next year they will play the same 3 except for different home-and-away. Then in the 2008 season they will play Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Baylor for two years in a row. And so and so on. Hopefully that answered your question.

hendersonlonghorn Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I don't think you can say there 3 teams in the Big East that have played very good football. You can say they have 3 undefeated teams who have loaded up on weak competition. Who have they beaten? Louisville beat Miami. Sorry, but right now the U wouldn't be in the top 4 in the Big 12. WV opponents winning percentage up until this point is a whopping .389. And while I think Rutgers might be the best story in college football this year, there is a reason they are undefeated and ranked #19. If you need any more convincing that the Big East is overrated, WV's remaining opponents winning percentage is a combined .560 and that is with 2 undefeated teams on their schedule. West Virginia = 2006 version of Tulane a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakman99 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Mizzou and A&M can beat Rutgers. If you watched the K-State and Louisville game, K-State stayed in the game until the 4th quarter and Louisville won the game 24-0 which was 10-0 at half. This was K-State whom lost to Baylor 17-3. Until the Big East play a team (a real team) please don't compare them with the Big 12. I think UT, OkL (w/ Peterson), and Nebraska finish 1-3 in weak conference. I can see A&M ,Mizzou being very competitive in that Div. w/o the Big 3. Now look at how many "Real Teams" have played the Big 12 Real Teams (OSU,USC,Georgia(14-13 win over Colorado), not to mention Oregon(cheaters), and Iowa. Easy with the Big East because they are weak.
