Longhorn Fan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Here is what's about to happen. OU will probably beat Florida in the BCS NCG. Texas will probably beat Ohio State. If that happens, look for the AP to vote Texas and OU will take the BCS and you will have a split national champion. What better than the Big XII Conf. to steal the thunder.

tylersooner Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 So #2 OU beats the #1 Gators while #3 Texas beats #10 OSU. Repeat after me, UT will not be #1 in the AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CNOrtega Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Texas would have to completely have their way with Ohio State, and Oklahoma would have to squeak out a win for this to even be remotely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchon18 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Really not that far fetched, you would have two teams with one-loss - the kicker being that one of those two actually beat the other on the field during said season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to slow down for a sec... OU has a lot on their plate with Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Dline, the most unlikely part of this scenario is OU beating Florida.....just don't see it happening. Besides, IMO a split NC is not legit anyway. All D1 schools agreed to play under the BCS rules to determine a champion, and the AP is not a part of the BCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reply was based on the assumption Longhornfan made. I think OU/FL is going to be a hell of a game. I think many people are underestimating OU.

I think many people are underestimating OU. I'm not impressed with their OU's defense... giving up 41 to Ok. State doesn't sit with me. Also OU's special teams needs to step up. Florida doesn't joke about that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011TIGER Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Texas will beat down on Ohio State and OU will Probably Win by at least ten points putting Texas at #1 and OU at #2 giving a split championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestwoodPantherPride Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 you guys that think OU will beat Florida make me laugh. Florida actually plays defense, they will keep OU from even threatening after the first quarter. and no, OU won't lose because of a history of choking in BCS games, they will simply be outperformed by a highly superior team.

Loftin74 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Texas would have to completely have their way with Ohio State, and Oklahoma would have to squeak out a win for this to even be remotely possible. That senario is completely possible. All of you Sooner fans have to admit........it would be kind of interesting to see this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geauxtiger3 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Florida still put up 31 on one of the best defenses in the nation. Plus, Percy Harvin will be back. He's a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you so sure Florida's defense is so great. Apart from Florida don't see many spectactular offenses in SEC, nothing like Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahoma State. Alabama had a good offense, but they only average 20-30 points a game and look they scored 20 on Florida. Everybody says that the Big 12 has no defense, well the SEC has no offense.

mr.sasquatch Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 i don't think that the big 12 has no defense, i think its the fact that the offenses are so good that it makes the defenses look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTUALLY clutch, i said that Florida would win by at least 3 tds, probably 4 or more. check back if you care to. still doesn't change the fact that Florida beat the number 1 team in the country. they'll do it again in January.

Before you guys embarrass yourselves, be reminded that those gaudy offensive numbers you tend to boast about are against the equivalent talent as you may find at any local high school. The reason for the low offensive number averages (albeit 20-30 pts. per game is really not low) is realistically because of the defensive effort and that being much superior to that of the Big 12 or Pac 10, ACC or wherever else you look. The only thing close to SEC defenses and their talent range IMO, might be (listen closely) UT and maybe the boys at Nebraska. Thanks Bo Pelini. Relax though, Oklahoma is about to make alot of folks proud......And by the way, I'm not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry fellow Longhorn fans, but UT won't get enough votes from AP voters to have a split title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRusk85 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Florida will kill OU. This game will be like the OU USC game 4 years ago. Florida #1 in BCS and AP. Go Horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All D1 schools agreed to play under the BCS rules to determine a champion, and the AP is not a part of the BCS. I agree. I never wanted to give USC credit for their split NC. If it happened to TX, I'm sure I would be a hypocrite. Just like how I used to despised Neon Deion Sanders, until he became a Cowboy. Same with TO. I actually will root for OK. 3 reasons... 1) my alliegence to Texas High School football and the many players on the sooner roster. 2) Big 12 over SEC. 3) 45-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinMaroonandWhite Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 As much as it pains me to say this Florida will beat OU hands down. Special teams will be a major factor in this game, and there isn't a soul on the field for OU that is gonna catch Brandon James if he gets loose. Percy Harvin is back as well. Woo!! Could get ugly. Brandon Spikes will be all over Bradford. He'll be lucky to play the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...that is very depressing :cry: Do you not think that Special Teams is a top priority in Norman right now...that loose end will be sewed up by game time. OU has just as many calliber athletes as Florida does...there is no fear factor. And you may be under-estimating Bradford just a little. Those predicting a huge blow-out??what tha??your just not being honest with yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better be worried about special teams, because that is a legit part of Florida's arsenal. It can win or lose a game!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
