If any of the top 3 teams had lost this weekend, it had the potential to help propel Texas past Cal for the 2nd at-large bid. Auburn's loss was the one most needed, followed by USC's and then OU. All of this had to due with the potential for that team to wedge themselves inbetween UT and Cal in the computer polls, thus making a bigger margin for UT over Cal in those computer polls. A USC loss would have knocked them out of the championship game, but would not have hurt them badly enough to knock them below UT or Cal in the AP/Coaches. Would have stayed 3rd ranked sadly enough. But we all know why that is.
So, you're saying a USC loss to UCLA would not drop them below Cal, a team they were lucky to beat? But an OU loss to COLORADO would drop them below tu, a team they destroyed??? tsk, tsk... :dis:
It's nice to talk about and speculate, but OU isn't going to lose this year. Looks like they came to play this time, unlike the CCG last year when they thought they could mail it in. 21 - zip already.
