This has nothing to do with the Rockets

The BCS is an absolute sham. There is absolutely no reason that there should not be a playoff in the NCAA Division 1.

And to have the biggest cheater in the history of collegiate sports announce it was absolutely classless on the part of Fox Sports. I will never forgive them for that.

Come on Mizzou, have some pride, kick their butts, they don't play any defense either.

had it’s destiny in it’s hands when it played Tech. Now it’s just bitching about peoples subjective choices. I include the computers in that, because they are programmed by people, so there MUST be some subjectivity in how they choose to rate teams. I’d say the same thing if OU was complaining. Now quit yer bitching unless you advocate for a playoff.

Meat? They're made out of Meat? Meat.

“Now quit yer bitching unless you advocate for a playoff.”

I think that is EXACTLY what he is advocating!

I even said it in sentence two

I’m completely for a playoff

Plus:
Texas lost to Tech at Tech in the last play of the game
Tech lost to OU at OU in a blowout
OU lost to Texas ON A NEUTRAL FIELD

Neutral field trumps all there

And mostly I'm complaining about the situation

We did lose a game. While I don’t think that means we can’t complain, it does mean we put ourselves in this position. It just sucks that being in this situation is even possible. Every other conference’s tie breaker would have Texas in the Big 12 championship, every single one. And that shouldn’t even matter, because we should be the number 3 seed playing the number 6 seed in a playoff in a few weeks

Amen

When I heard about this on the radio during the morning drive, I was incensed. And I’m no Longhorn (my wife’s an Aggie, so I’m kind of predisposed against UT). The BCS is just a fraud. Teams that UT lost to could very well end up playing for the national championship in January. Ridiculous.
