Tech schedules Eastern Washington and Massachusetts, and Texas schedules Florida Atlantic, a school that did not even start playing football until 2001!
Here is another interesting stat for you Texas fans, you played a grand total of two of 12 football games out of the state of Texas. Oklahoma went all the way to the northwestern tip of the United States to play Washington, and Tech went to Nevada.
If home field advantage carries any weight, then playing 10 football games in your own state should be considered as a negative for your team.
OU deserves this just as much as the other two. If the tables were turned, I would be ticked off too; I understand your argument. Tech would be ticked off if they had to sit and watch Texas, a team they beat in the Big 12 Championship.
OU would be ticked if we had to watch Tech in the Big 12 Championship. The computers made the choice and we all have to live with it.
We all have one thing in common, this system is ridiculous, and I personally think in this situation that a playoff within the conference among the top four teams makes sense.
But you know that will never happen, makes you wonder if situations like this continue to occur if any reform in the current BCS system ever will?
