The entire Texas argument is actually based on Oklahoma's performance against Tech. Tech was beaten so bad by the Sooners that they should be excluded from a three way tie in the standings? Nonsense. You can't penalize Oklahoma and Tech for what happened in Norman. If Tech is reduced to second-tier status, then that makes OSU second tier or worse, which got blown out by Tech, also second tier. OK, Texas lost to one and barely beat the other at home.
I love how the BCS is inappropriate to use to settle a three way tie in the standings but perfectly fine to narrow a field from three to two. How convenient.
For the gem of the day (and I take no credit for this as I lifted it from elsewhere), Texas coach Mack Brown voted Texas 15th in his final 2006 ballot. The issue? He voted the A&M team, with an identical 9-3 record, that just beat the Horns in Austin, 22nd in the country. Head to head hypocrisy.
