I'm starting to hate the BCS system.......Texas is running up the score on A&M just to run up the numbers for Colt and to improve the "bling" for the Longhorns. Of course, when the Number 2 ranked team in the nation whips the tar out of the bottom of the conference, it doesn't carry all that much weight. And TT is going to play Baylor? The only Big 12 south that has a worse record is A&M. I think if OU is decisive against the nationally ranked #12 OSU, it will make the run up by the Longhorns somewhat less impressive. To impress BCS, though, OU needs to play more second tier teams, run up the scores, and pretend they actually did something.........................

I've been hating the BCS for some time. I long for a playoff system in college football. It's really the only way to determine a true champion.
BTW, for those that argue about the tradition of bowls, you can still keep the bowl system going AND have a playoff system.

do that and you might get someone like University of Tulsa, or Boise State as a national champion.......then where would all the TV revenues go?

Not impressed with Texas, they played at home and A&M is horrible. What people forget is OU played, at A&M, and hung 66 points on them! Much more impressive then Texas scoring 40+ in Austin. OU is a far superior team then Texas, if they played now OU would win by 28+!
"Neutral field" - yea right, last time I checked the cotton bowl is in TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When OU beats OSU and the new BCS polls come on Sunday, your going to hear the crying all the way up here in Oklahoma! Ya got to love it!!!

Couldn't agree wit you more, although the Cotton Bowl is halfway between Austin and Norman, plus the fan seating is divided 50/50. Living in North Texas, there are as many OU fans here as there are UT fans.
OU is playing MUCH better than Texas at this point of the year. I think A&M had three or four sacks last night.
