texas losing to a&m or in the B12 title game
alabama losing to auburn
then florida losing to florida state or alabama would be the best outcome for the season

Personally, I don't want to see texas rewarded for a piss poor schedule.

Tennessee might well be 11-0 playing that schedule, and do we deserve to play for a NC?

True but if Oklahoma didn't have major injuries and lived up to a top 10 ranking then there wouldn't be much talk about Texas's schedule.

Plus, out of them, TCU, or Cincinnati, they have the best chance of beating UF or bama.

Oklahoma is still just one game, texas noncon schedule this year consists of:

Louisiana-Monroe
Wyoming
Central Florida
UTEP

They have no skins on the wall. I don't care that they are undefeated, they haven't beaten anybody good. Okie State is the best win... and they lost at home to Houston and only beat georgia by 14 at home.

I'm telling you, there are probably 20 teams that could be 11-0 with the joke of a schedule that they've played. Incluidng Tennessee. It doesn't sit well with me.

True their OOC schedule is a joke, but who else in the running would you think is more deserving? Cincinnati, Boise or TCU's schedules aren't any tougher.

And just asking, but do you think Texas is the #3 (or higher) team in the country, easy schedule or not? I don't know who to rank ahead of them. Cincy may have a decent case if they beat Pitt though.

Texas has a good team. But how good, hard to say, because their most impressive win was over Okie State without its best WR (Dez Bryant) and with its leading rusher banged up. Texas wouldn't be 11-0 if they were in the Pac-10 or SEC... they did not play well early on, but it didn't matter, because they didn't play a ranked team (other than Oklahoma, who obviously was a farce), until October 31 (Oklahoma St.)!

Who is to say that TCU, Cincinnati or Boise St aren't better? Granted, they probably aren't, but thats not the point. Strength of schedules are close to identical

texas - 56
tcu - 60
cincinnati - 65

My resentment evolves from the system we have in place without a playoff. A team with a schedule like texas can sleepwalk through 10 games in its regular season without penalty. A team in the Pac 10 or SEC could easily lose in several games if they don't show up.

Rather than being about who you've beaten, the BCS is more about "just as long as you don't lose..." No motivation to have a difficult schedule if you have title aspirations, and thats just wrong. Bad for the fans.

Is it texas fault? No, but at the same time, I don't like the weak scheduling to be rewarded.

It has essentially put texas in a position where all they have to do to win the national title is beat one legitimately good team (florida or alabama).

t.u. cant beat either Bama or Florida. I'm more focused on them not having the opportunity to prove me right.


Now, back to the t.u. hate fest.


Cart McCry has a porn stache.

Gig em'

Texas will beat the crap out of the Aggies and Tommy Tuberville will be on a red-eye flight to College Station.

Most people are only wrong once per post. You managed to double the average. Good job.

Is most of the fanbase behind Sherman?

I've always thought Tubberville would be great for A&M with his ties... and he's a pretty good coach too.

Sounds great, let the record show the above then.

And by the way, why in the hell do you care at all?

I thought all you Vol fans stayed pissed at t.u. for "stealing your power T, and color and blah blah blah, we were a school before they were a state blah blah blah."

Yes General, the gray hairs, and most all of the fans that understand recruiting are behind Sherman.

Because you're being a homer and Colt McCoy is my college football fantasy QB who has taken me to the championship game this week.

Awesome! My love for the alma mater has created a t-shirt fan! My life's work is now done.

On a serious not, your passion for Cart is starting to creep me out.

Nope. I thought I made it clear, but let me repeat it for you. I hate all things t.u.

TAMU record all time versus Texas:

36-74-5

You've lost to them 74 times and only beaten them 36 times. How is that a rivalry?

Texas beat TAMU by 40 points last year.
Texas has beaten TAMU 7 out of the last 9 times they've played.
