Texas Gets Robbed By BCS Polls

Texas just got screwed by the BCS and the human polls that put Oklahoma ahead of them.  Texas beat Oklahoma.  I'll say it again, Texas beat Oklahoma!  Not only that, they beat both teams playing for the Big 12 title. 

Now, I know that some of you will say with that logic Texas Tech should still be No. 2 because they beat Texas.  But, that isn't the logic that I am using.  Let's look at the body of work between Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma. 

Let's start with the Red River Shootout.  Texas won in a great football game.  Since then, Texas lost to Texas Tech also in a great football game.  After that, Tech turned around and got clobbered by Oklahoma.  Keep in mind that under Stoops, the Sooners have only lost twice in Norman.  Norman is always a tough place to play and Tech just wasn't ready.  Had the game been in Lubbock, it would have been a different story. 

Since they played each other, Oklahoma and Texas have been playing the exact same caliber of football.  It's a dead heat to say who is better.  Texas Tech hasn't been playing good football.  They got destroyed by Oklahoma and barely beat Baylor.  Therefore, it is between Oklahoma and Texas to see who is better and since they played each other, they are dead even. 

Therefore, you have to take Texas because they beat Oklahoma on a "neutral field" in the Cotton Bowl.  If it had been Oklahoma that had beaten Texas, then I would be saying that Oklahoma should go.  It will also be a travesty if Texas is left out of the National Title game in favor of Oklahoma, because it's a team that they beat! 

Texas has done nothing wrong and yet they are being left out for a team that they BEAT!  It's a travesty.
