Is it possible we could get some of those NCAA powers that be to Texas to show them how a playoff system works?
In the words of us Texans; "The BCS ain't cuttin it". How did the Florida Gators end up # 2 in the country, playing for a national championship?
Let's look at the facts: Going in order of the final BCS rankings,
# 1 OU, # 2 Florida and # 3 Texas all had one loss.
OU lost 45-35 to Texas at a neutral site, with their best win being a blow out victory at home over Texas Teach (65-21). Florida lost at home, 31-30 to 4 loss Ole Miss, with their best win in the SEC Championship over Alabama, a team who had played no body all year, and who struggled to beat 6-6 Kentucky (17-14) and 4 loss LSU (27-21). Texas' only loss was on the road against Texas Tech, 39-33 on a last second TD pass.
Florida lost at home against a team with 4 losses who ended up ranked # 25 in the BCS, Texas lost on the road to the # 7 team in the BCS, and in a game played in what would be considered the best of all possible senarios, a neutral site, OU lost to Texas in Dallas.
Florida lost at home, Texas lost away and OU lost at a neutral site. Even Bevo can figure this one out, and he just lays around chewing his cuud all day.
In addition, can someone tell me why Florida and Alabama are ranked ahead of Texas Tech? The Red Raiders only loss was to the # 1 team in the nation and they have victories over the # 3, # 13 and # 21 teams in the BCS.
The NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB all have playoff systems. March Madness is a beautiful thing, as is the Road to Omaha for college baseball. If college football can't figure it out, send them to Reliant Stadium in Houston later this month to see how a real champion is crowned.
