Colt's Heisman talk...

I love the work Colt is doing, but I sure hope our guys aren't buying into the hype just yet. We still have a lot of work to do against some very potent teams coming up.
 
No, I'm not kidding. I guess you missed the point about people changing it to the player going to the national championship. What you just pointed out is recent history. Look over the years and tell me what you find. Houston Cougars and BYU have little chance of getting a player chosen as the heisman the way it is now.
 
Colt may not be a "golden boy" like Carson Palmer, but the media is going to eat up his back story if he continues to play well. Small town QB, dad's a coach, swims to save a man in trouble in the dark, etc. He's not Joe Namath, but he's marketable to the baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet crowd.

But yes, Texas needs to keep winning. Maybe a close loss to OU would be acceptable, but not much else.
 
Soviet,

Talking about other teams who have won all their games and calling their opponents an embarrassment is a little ironic after USC's last week.

The "NFL killers" from the left coast were the biggest embarrassment I saw on TV. And tell us about that mighty Virginia team.
 
I don't disagree about USC being an embarrassment. Florida, though, takes the cake, luckily for them it wasn't the only game on TV on a Thursday night. That was a worse loss than Oregon St.

talking about schedules here...

it's about intent.

When the NCAA added a 12th game, the Pac-10 didn't do what everyone else did and add another OOC cupcake, we decided to add a conference game so we'd have a round robin. The SEC, Big 12, and ACC could've done the same, making it only one team skipped in those conferences per season isntead of 2.

OOC scheduling to me is about intent. The intent to play someone, not the intent to avoid a loss.
 
And the Pac-10 and Big TEleveN could have made a conference championship game.

Also, there are three teams we don't play each year. Not two.For Texas this year, it's Nebraska, Iowa St., and K St.
 
wow three teams missed, that's even worse.

Don't lump the Pac-10 in with the Big Eleven. That conference is all screwed up, no CCG and no round robin.

Explain why a conference that has a round robin needs a conference title game?

You are saying that any conference game is tougher than that title game that pits the best team from one division against the best team from the other division?

It guarantees that the two best teams from their respective divisions play at the end of their season when they should both be playing their best ball.

The only downside I see is generally the two best teams in the Big 12 are Oklahoma and Texas. It is not possible for them to meet in the title game as they are in the same division. But it does put added importance to already huge game. Win the RRS and you most likely will be going to the Big 12 game.
 
It is up to the schools to schedule ooc games not the conference itself. I doubt ohio state sees adding usc as adding a patsy.

I just don't see your argument. Some schools schedule better than others but some of us see a lot PAC 10 teams as patsies as well. How many PAC 10 teams are ranked?
 
It's not always an advantage to skip 3 games every year. Kansas is skipping Baylor and Texas A&M and playing South Florida instead, for example.
