Vince Yound and his Texas Longhorns heat the hell outa OU. I don't see Texas losing duing the regular season....but when they get to the Rose Bowl...they will face the Great USC Trojans. I watched most all of the Texas game. I owe Dallas Green a lunch. For OU fans.....I dunno. Tough year.

I just watched USC beat the holy c___ outa Arizona (coached by Mike Stoops). USC gave them a coaching clinic in every phase of the game. It was almost laughable how dominating the Trojans were. Won 42-21, and could have been worse, but they emptied their entire bench in an attempt to keep the score from getting totally out of hand. Ended the game running out the clock at the Arizona 1.

Everybody was talking about how USC has an easy schedule but I think that TX has a better shot at getting to the game. TX has no hard games left except Tech and USC still plays Cal, UCLA and Notre Dame.

This prediction from a guy who swore Texas would wilt before 100k fans in Ohio St's horseshoe. Said Texas would get their butts kicked in Ohio,

And then during the Tulsa tailgate, GGII said there was NO WAY Texas was going to beat Oklahoma....

Seems like GGII is making a career out of underestimating Vince Young & Co.

Quick hint to make some money. Find out GGII's prediction for the Horns to lose, than bet the other way laugh.gif

I say that if USC beats UCLA and UT wins out (with 1-2 more blowout wins), then there is no way USC goes into the National Championship game ranked #1 IMHO. If this above scenario plays out, it will be UT vs. USC for the title. I don't think that Penn St. will finish undefeated (they'll lose one along the way).

Here is how the top 5 will finish in my opinion (in order):

Texas

Southern Cal

Georgia

Florida

Michigan State

Texas schedule could cause them problems also. If Virgina Tech wins out and plays in a much tougher (this year) ACC, beating Miami on the road...then Texas will have played 2 ranked opponents this year. Considering Tech doesn't blow it before they play UT. I think that Georgia or V Tech also have a shot. WIth that being said, I don't think that the powers that be let UT stay out of the Rose Bowl against USC. USC v UT- I hate them both but that is a great national championship game.

You guys are forgetting about Virginia Tech. If USC, UT, and VT all win out, I have a feeling that Texas will be left out of the Orange Bowl. Florida got blown out by Bama. No way they finish in the top five.

Colorado is ranked #24 in this week's AP and USA Today polls.

"You guys are forgetting about Virginia Tech. If USC, UT, and VT all win out, I have a feeling that Texas will be left out of the Orange Bowl."

I agree. They would be left out of the Orange Bowl and would play in the Rose.

If VT wins out...the "polls" will magically make VT and USC in the final because of the pub that Marcus Vick will be getting....

I am a VT fan and would love to see it but damn...if UNS miraciously lost one...Voung vs. Vick would be a marketing persons dream!

If marketing has anything to do with it. Count on the 'polls' making it a USC/Texas matchup. Nothing offense to Vick or VT, but USC and Texas deliver the Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston media markets. That's 3 out of the top 5 media markets in the country. Think the network execs are salivating over that one???

I don't know why anyone is worrying about whether UT will be in the national title game. If it's even close you'll see Mack Brown with a box of tissues begging the national media to "take control of college football." dry.gif

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      Nothing new here. When I was in high school, the only school that advanced to the playoffs was the district champion. For whatever reason, the UIL allows 4 teams today. Majority of lower seeds almost always get blown out in the first round. Same with the NCAA basketball tournament that expanded from around 12 back in the 70's to 65 or 66. Most result in blowouts. I agreed with a modest expansion but not the current 65. They are now talking about over 70. Everything is 100% about money and the quality of the product left some time ago.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.
