How does Texas not get this title game? I don’t get it at all. Texas beat Oklahoma head to head and did it going away. It was on a neutral field and both teams were playing very well at the time. It was the early season version of Alabama vs Florida. The difference is that Florida and Oklahoma lost earlier in the year while Alabama and Texas lost later in the year. In the end though this is screwed up.

45-35 was the final score of that matchup and Texas then went on to lose at Texas Tech by a miracle last second play. That inability to keep Crabtree from the end zone cost the Longhorns a shot at a national title despite beating Oklahoma 3 weeks earlier. If the scenario was reversed and Texas lost to Texas Tech a month earlier and beat Oklahoma like they did then Texas no doubt would be the higher ranked team so I’m sure of the logic behind the choice. People say “Oklahoma beat Texas Tech easily and Texas lost to them so…” Texas was at the tail end of playing top 10 teams for 4 weeks in a row. The game was on the road. Besides, none of it matters when the two teams played head to head and Texas easily beat Oklahoma. Kills me.

The point is dead if Texas loses to Ohio st, which I don’t think they will. Texas vs Florida should be the title game and I’d love to hear the arguments otherwise.
