After Oklahoma's big win over Texas Tech this past Saturday, many people were very interested in how this would shape the BCS. Well the latest BCS polls are out and of course not without controversy. The top 10 teams in the BCS go in this order: Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, USC, Utah, Texas Tech, Penn State, Boise State, and Ohio State. The first team is right, but from their it is a mess. Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida all have legitimate cases for that spot. What really doesn't make since is how Florida is ranked number two in the Associated Press poll, but ranked fourth in the BCS poll. Texas is ranked number two in the BCS, but fourth in the latest AP poll. I don't understand the BCS, but really who does?
The real problem with the BCS is about to shine through in the Big 12 South. If Oklahoma can beat Oklahoma State this weekend, there will be a three way tie atop the Big 12 South standings between Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech with all three beating each other. This is where the mess starts. The BCS will have to rank one above the other and that is going to cause a feud. Each team has a case why they should be ranked above the other. Texas beat Oklahoma, Texas Tech beat Texas, and Oklahoma destroyed Texas Tech. Each has their case, but I feel that it will come down between Texas and Oklahoma. Ultimately, even though Texas beat Oklahoma, I feel Oklahoma will be in the Big 12 Championship. This is based all on "style points." Oklahoma would have had bigger wins as of late and they have been playing the best football. So there's your mess. Could we get a play-off anyone?
Games to watch this Thanksgiving weekend: Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State, Florida vs. Florida State, and Alabama vs. Auburn.
