What To Wish For

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. As already stated, OU losing was fun (although it IS earily similar to last season's collapse by the Horns). The Oregon loss may hurt the Horns as it opens up a potential at-large bid for KU should they lose to Mizzou but stay in the top four of the BCS (giving them an automatic at-large bid). Ohio State winning was bad for the Horns in that Texas loses its chance at the title game, but it was good in that Ohio State will likely be in the top four. An LSU-Ohio State championship game remains our favorite scenario, followed by an LSU-KU championship game. The possibilities are in order of preference:


  1. OU loses to Okie State, Texas wins Big XII, Texas plays in Fiesta
  2. Texas beats Aggy, OU beats Okie State, KU wins Big XII, Texas plays in Sugar
  3. Texas beats Aggy, OU beats Okie State, Mizzou beats KU, OU wins Big XII, Texas plays in Sugar
  4. Texas beats Aggy, OU beats Okie State, Mizzou beats KU in a close game, Mizzou beats OU, Texas goes to mid-level non-BCS bowl
  5. Texas beats Aggy, OU beats Okie State, OU beats KU in a close game, Texas goes to mid-level non-BCS bowl
  6. Texas beats Aggy, OU loses to Okie State, Texas loses in Big XII championship, Texas goes to Holliday Bowl
  7. Texas loses to Aggy, OU loses to Okie State, Texas wins Big XII championship, Texas goes to Fiesta
  8. Texas loses to Aggy, OU beats Okie State, who cares.
