theeohiostate Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Texas overtook OU in 2 of the 3 human polls this week. They closed the gap in the coaches poll to a mere 1 vote. The computers hand OU the #2 spot because they don't take into consideration H2H matchups. This is a complete sham , imo. I feel for you Texas homers getting screwed after proving on the field you are better then OU. If this doesn't cry playoff then nothing ever will. By far the worst case of the BCS "not getting it right" to date. For the OU homers citing Tech, Tech, give it a rest. Tech isn't even being considered as a top 2 team. This is completely about OU and Texas and 35-25 is the only thing to be discussed. Make a post if you agree Texas got hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I like how Barry Switzer is dancing around the fact OU lost 45-35 to Texas. All these OU homers, crack me up. 45-35 Nuff Said ! Edited November 30, 2008 by theeohiostate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The way I see it OU played a tougher schedule and blew out the team that beat UT. I am not saying its right, but I can see why OU was ranked higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software program picked OU, not even considering a 45-35 H2H match up. If the software used any sense, it would have chosen Texas like the rest of the voters did.

OU has the better overall resume, and more quality wins - their nc wins are FAR SUPERIOR to UT's and provided they dummy Mizzou that will just be another one under their belt. and they are passing the eye test right now better than Texas and under the current system I have no problem with them being in the NC game - they look like the one of the best teams in the country right now.

Do you think the UT/A&M game being on by itself Thanksgiving night had anything to do with the human vote? And wouldn't you agree OU played the tougher OOC schedule? No matter who gets selected, someone is going to feel hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough break for Texas - but such is life in the BCS I can not get past the fact both teams matched up on a neutral site and Texas won by 10 . No other argument holds water imo. If you get a chance to play a team H2H , then you MUST live with the results. The human voters made a significant turnaround today voting Texas over OU . If the computers considered H2H , this would have been a landslide for Texas. USC lost to Oregon St and I'm sure you wouldn't hear them whining about not going to the Rose Bowl had Oregon not won yesterday. Michigan lost to OSU and didn't get the rematch. OU got special treatment from a software program that doesn't have all the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Ryan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 There are only 2 polls that matter here idiot, the Coaches and Harris. And OU took the Coaches poll while Texas took the Harris. Please post the whole truth here. The AP poll has no relevance in the BCS, and either you didnt know it, or you just wanted to muddy the picture why OU possilby jumped Texas. Bottom line is the computers look at SOS, and obviously the polls dont. FLA is considerably back in the pack in the computers, because the computers take into consideration those teams the pollsters are giving FLA so much credit for, the LSU's and Georgias have lost repeatedly since FLA beat them, thus pushing that SOS way down. If only the humans would do the research and see they shouldnt have FLA in the top 3 at all, the BCS would actually work. Either Bama vs TEX/OU or if Bama loses, Texas vs OU if one of these beats Missouri. If not, then FLA has a argument to play if they beat Bama, and Missouri wins the Big 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the software used any sense, it would have chosen Texas like the rest of the voters did. The software considers everything you tool. Dont think for a second Texas didnt get credit for beating OU. It just wasnt the only decision that you want it to be. And in fact the coaches agreed with the software, putting OU ahead of Texas, with Mack Brown having a vote and Bob Stoops didnt. Do you really think if Stoops had a vote and did what Brown did and ranked his team #1, while probably not ranking OU in the top 25, as its not public this week, he wouldnt have done the same thing. You fail to deliver the fact that 25 f that 41 pt margin made up could be just 1 voter eliminating OU, and voting texas 1. And do you think with all the campaigning Brown has done, callin in during the OU and OSU game, and flying a airplane over the stadium about the Texas/Ou game. You didnt see Stoops calling in on Thanksgiving night or a plane flying showing 39-22 the Tech win over Texas. Because Stoops took the high road, while Brown politiced like he did when he got his team in the Rose Bowl over Cal a few years ago. Im glad even with his slanted vote, and Stoops not having one, OU still led this coaches poll. Think of how many coaches would have to vote OU ahead of Texas to make up the ground just 1 coach, Mack Brown could have done to the vote by putting his team 1 and not putting Ou on the top 25 ballot.

So, if that's the theory, then UT would "definitely" have beaten Tech in Lubbock had they not a] lost Cosby early in the 1st quarter and b] Orakpo near the end of the game.

OK, I wasnt going to get involved in this. But you are suppose to be an IDP guru. Are you telling me losing your best LB to a redshirt Freshman, doesnt or didnt make a difference. Crap, just watch the game, they only said Reynolds loss was exposed over and over. Not Texas fault for sure, but it made a difference. And he was lost with OU leading the game. Also a kickoff return for a TD, was 7 of those 20 in the first half. Im not making excuses, I think his loss certainly hurt the Sooners, but Im not ready to make that an excuse. But his loss certainly had something to do with Texas rolling in the 2nd half. Certainly you wont argue this.
