61 - 41, and OU didn't have it locked down till the last minute........awesome.

I know I'm biased, but Texas whipped the tar out of the bottom of the conference in beating A&M. TT barely beat Baylor. OU took on #12 OSU and beat them in a hard fought well earned win. OU has GOT to go to the Big 12 Championship......and will meet Florida for the big show........I just don't think Alabama can take Florida.

After tonights loss to OU, OSU should move UP in the rankings........

BCS Championship should be held in the Cotton Bowl, with Texas playing OU..............

Proud of my 'boys, even though they lost. Wasn't that a cool kickoff return TD!! I'm so glad it was on national TV so we got to watch it out here in the northwest. I usually wear my OSU sweatshirt on football weekends but rarely get a reaction. Yesterday at Lowe's I turned over my shopping cart to a couple wearing OU shirts. He's stationed in the Navy here. Gee, I miss Oklahoma. Go Pokes.

We were proud of OSU too. They played hard and ran out of gas. This game was all over the media. My dad who lives in California and is not a big sports guy even talked about the big game with me on the phone earlier in the week. He said it's been all over the news out there too. I think that's a great recruiting tool and exposure for all of our state colleges.

I checked the BCS rankings and it looks like Texas will be going to the Big XII title game, which is sad because OU is playing much better now and is a better team.

I guess OU should have taken care of business when they had the chance though.

I wonder which bowl OU will be going to since they won't be in the National Championship hunt anymore.

You were looking at last weeks BCS ranking. they won't release the new rankings until this evening. Last weeks rankings put Texas ahead of OU by 0.0089 points. I cannot help but think that beating a ranked team is worth at least one point more than beating an unranked, bottom of the conference standings, team.

I think OU is deserving of going to the BIG XII Championship. I am more impressed with OU than TX down the stretch. Heck, KU beat Mizzou yesterday!

And it would give Stoops the chance to show he can win the big game. As it is, TX should spank MU, then go up against the undefeated heavy hitter Bama.

And I think they should have another TX/OU showdown because both those teams, IMO, are better than anyone in the BIG XII North. Kind of strange, I've been going against OU these past couple of weeks, but now that they are not in the BIG XII, I feel they were robbed.

That's good to hear, and it's been backed up by other folks I have talked to GP.

Thanks
