If Bradford doesn't go down in the first few minutes, Texas loses by 20. You can't get any less impressive in a win then the Longhorns did; I'd drop them a few more spots in the polls.

Texas doesn't have a single quality win; maybe they should be ranked #5 or so. I seriously doubt they'll win out; McCoy stunk it up and probably blew any chance for the Heisman.

Jimmy Clausen certainly helped his case for the trophy by leading the Irish comeback that fell just a bit short. It's starting to look like it's between him and Tebow.
EDIT: I hate people who cry about officiating.
EDIT2: I guess you could consider the Longhorn's win over Texas Tech a quality one after TT whipped Nebraska yesterday and is 5-2. I'll bring up Texas to #4 behind Alabama, Florida and Cincinnati.

Oklahoma can't score with or without Bradford. OU has a few start players, but doesn't have the support players to make them shine. In the NC game last year you can see a small example of what OU is suffering from this year. In the fist half OU had the ball on the One, but couldn't run the ball for a TD because of an inferior offensive lineman on the backside. All the right guard had to do was cut off the inside gap, but he couildn't do it, so the backside defensive tackle ended up talking the OU back in the backfield. Everything else was there, but you are only as strong as your weakest link. OU's offense has a lot of weak links.

Where was Bama's offense? They went ahead with a defensive TD. I'm not saying TX is that great, simply that there is a clear anti-TX bias. Neither FL nor Bama will end undefeated. So Miami was great for beating OU, but TX just lucked out? McCoy was sick all week. Ark. had trouble with A&M who lost 64-14 to Ks St. FL has trouble with Ark and we're supposed to consider theirs a quality win? The rating system really sucks and we do need a playoff.

What sucks is your "analysis" which seems to be entirely based on your "feelings". Alabama led virtually the whole game against the #22 ranked team in the country and also has beaten ON THE ROAD a top 20 Virginia Tech team. Florida had a tough game against a quality opponent, but last week beat the #4 team in the country on the road. Texas doesn't have anything remotely close to matching those accomplishments. #4 is being generous.
If there was a playoff (which I'd like to see), Texas would probably get beat in the first round.

Originally posted by no1marauderI don't dispute that Texas is bad. I dispute that the others are so good. Oregon St, S. Fl? Ooooh! Real quality! So let me get this straight. Beating #19 is worse than beating #22? So OU was overrated? Beating Ark by three who had trouble against a bad A&M team is a quality win? Beating Colorado with defense/special teams, as if these were not phases of the game is coonsidered unworhty? Why award points for thesse plays if these are unworthy? Colorado then beats #17 Kansas, so I guess Colorado is not that bad, now is it? It is ridiculous to penalize one team, but not another for the manner in which they win. What I dispute is the standards being applied so unevenly. Bama struggles against a team with no offense, but their win gets accolades? Two of their scores were defensive so they only generated one offensive TD. Their game was very much contested even in the 4th quarter against #22. Texas beats #19! Bad, bad Texas! Boise St has trouble against lowly Tulsa, yet their #5!

You are a joke. You laud OU in their near wins and bust Texas for beating them. You are a freaking you-yo. You can't decide who you are going to stand behind. Hawaii??? BYU???? Boise State I guess will be your flavor this month!! Or worse....Cincinnati. LMAO

Originally posted by shortcircuitTexas played like crap this year if you bothered to watch the game. They couldn't hold onto the football and McCoy flat out stunk. Last year Oklahoma and Bradford put up 38 on the Longhorn "defense"; if they had done that again (which was likely; the 2nd play of the game he put a 60+ yard gain up) Texas would have lost by more than 20. Have someone less moronic than you do the math.

FL barely beats Ark with a full strength Tebow. Somehow a team playing poorly beating an opponent who "could have" beat TX is not a good win? Your logic defies logic.

Originally posted by no1marauderShows the fallacy of your argument. if TX is so bad why did they not drop out of the top five? USC #4 after lucky win vs. ND? Ha! Bama squeaks by SC with a QB lamer than any I've seen in top 25, but you say thier defense (SC's) is great. I'm sorry but a top team beats a #22 team by a better margin or by your own arguments they suck! FL will fall to MS, Bama will have trouble with Tennessee and your formidable Org St should beat USC. TX will beat Mizzou and Cinci will fall to Lousiville. Since you're not a voter TX hangs on to #3, but should have returned to#2! Both teams won by 3, but Texas' opponent was more highly ranked. According to your logic even though TX hung 45 on a Bradford led OU they should be penalized for allowing 38 points last year? And you call me stupid? Petrification of your brain is setting in slowly, but surely nimrod!

Same thing.
The simple fact is Texas nutted up and got the job done. There are several teams who haven't gotten the job done. Florida has nearly been beaten a couple of times. Winning ugly is still winning. If OU is only a team with Sam Bradford, then they weren't much of a team. Guess you didn't do much homework to know that OU was pinning their ears back and coming after Colt the entire first half because they knew our top two running backs were hurt and our #3 guy Whitaker had been hurt all year. Once Texas established the run in the second half, Colt was allowed to breathe.
You, of all people, should know that the success on any drive is not indicative of future success. For you to make a blanket statement shows what dolt you are.
