It's that time of the year again where everybody who watches college football becomes an expert and draws up some insane scenario that plays there 8-2 team back into the national championship game.
The general talk that I hear from everyone is that Texas Tech doesn't have a chance. As a Texas fan I really wish we had won that game. But, we didn't. And, until everybody else gets 1 more loss I haven't seen a shred of evidence as to why anyone would doubt Texas Tech, outside of the obvious, they aren't a household BCS title contender name.
Texas Tech beat the #1 team in the country in Texas and then turned around this week and embarrassed an Oklahoma State that played that #1 Texas very tough. Until Texas Tech loses on the field I haven't heard a good argument for why anyone should doubt them.
Now, from a personal stand point if Texas Tech does lose to Oklahoma this weekend in Norman the Big 12 is going to be a mess. There will be 3 one loss teams who all beat each other. Who deserves to play in the Big 12 championship game and then for chance to play for the national title? My choice is clearly Texas as we beat Oklahoma on a neutral field and both of the other wins (Texas Tech beat Texas in Lubbock, and Oklahoma would beat Texas Tech in Norman) were at home. But, I can't seem to find the official statement on what the Big 12 tie breaker is and I honestly have no faith in them to get it right. Whoever is making the decisions for this conference seems to love sending Oklahoma to BCS games over deserving Texas teams. But, i might be a bit biased there.
Regardless of the amount of stress the remainder of this season will cause, it will also result in lots of great Saturdays. While the BCS system sucks it does create an insane amount of excitement and disappointment alike. What would my fall be like without all this drama? Pretty boring I'm sure!
