This whole BCS nonsense makes me angry. And I think that TX has every right to play in a NCG because we finished with the same record as OU and we beat them! It pisses me off that the commentators say that the win was too long ago. It shouldn't matter if we beat OU in week 1 or week 10. The entire season needs to be taken into account.

Wishful, you make a great point but the way the BCS is set up right now, you don't need to play in your Conference Championship game to play in the National Championship Game.

But to further illustrate the point... Texas beat both Oklahoma and Missouri by double-digit points, and it's totally unfair for...

Texas isn't playing in it's conference title game. They shouldn't be national champions. They definitely wouldn't be co- national champions.

You can avoid all of the complications if you just had a playoff system!

Let the teams decide on the field who the real champion is.

Then teams like Boise State wouldn't be left out in the cold.

Heck, I think undefeated Boise State could beat Oklahoma.

Don't believe it? Remember the Fiesta Bowl three years ago?

Big bad Oklahoma was favored to win, but Boise State proved the doubters wrong...

This is what happens...

That very thing happened to USC and LSU back in 2003, LOL.

LSU defeated Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl to claim the BCS national championship, but USC wound up with The Associated Press version of the championship with its victory against Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

In that case, both LSU and USC were named Co National Champions.

This very thing may happen between Florida and Texas if the cards play out the right way... Florida would have to beat Alabama in the SEC...

There's also a possibility in which Florida beats Alabama in the SEC Championship game, Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 Championship, and let's say Florida beats Oklahoma in the National Championship Game, in which Texas as a BCS bowl winner ( winning the Fiesta Bowl let's say ), would still be claimed as "Co National Champions" along with the Florida Gators.

I believe Oklahoma did it in 2003.

It will be the biggest bunch of bullshit I have ever seen if two teams from the same conference are in the National Championship Game. It won't happen.

If Oklahoma were to be upset by Missouri in the Big 12 Championship Game, then the Texas Longhorns would go to the National Championship Game.

There's also a weird but unlikely possibility if Florida beats Alabama in the SEC championship and Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 Championship, in which Oklahoma could play Texas in the National Championship Game, as the number one versus number two ranked teams in the BCS rankings...

By the way, I doubt either Florida or...
