Give it to Oklahoma.
Texas, as much as it pains me, does not deserve any bowl bid.
We suc.

Maybe the offensive line and defensive secondary solidify next year.
We have a QB, we have a RB, we got a slew of WR's.

Sadly, ATM will be better now that the Fran Man is gone.

Funny how good of a coach Mack Brown was with Vince Young and how bad is he without him...

Mack Brown has never been a good coach.
He is a good guy and a great recruiter.
In fact Brown may be the best recruiter in the country.

When Texas lost their D-coor. the tackling became girly-man wrestling.
Last year Texas was fine until McCoy got injured. (overrated but fine)
Texas needs a defensive coordinator as good as we had.

there are 64 bowl slots, with 5 and 6 record teams either on the bubble, or bowl eligible. this system is a ridiculous joke. too many bowl games out there.

they need to re do the system, with top teams playing other top teams all year. to hell with this playing four or five tougher teams, and padding the win stats ( unless you're 'bama vs la-monroe!! ) with games vs much lesser opponents....thus assuring a bowl bid.

btw, when did 'FBS' replace 1-a? and now 2-a is 1-a....i guess i slept thru that change...

Cannon thanks for the OSU fictional playoff run. I wish the college game had a system along those lines.

Ohio State has been the most consistent team.
But their loss at home against Illinois was a clean butt whipping.
Every team looks vulnerable... which is cool.

That was the killer...I figured after he picked them there was no way they could carry that much weight. I have done very well lately (including betting the under in the Hawaii/Boise St last night. What were the odds going into the 3rd quarter that game wasn't going over? 20-1?) I decided not to press my luck. You know how weak Kansas schedule is? Not only have they not lost, they are 10-0 vs the spread. Until tonight.

p.s. sorry about the redboard.
