I'm tired of listening to Texas fans bitch about not being in the National Championship. Of course, what every fan refers back to is the imfamous head-to-head where they beat Oklahoma. Well, guess what, head-to-heads don't mean anything in college football. Do I like it? No. But, as on objectionist observer, those are the rules, and at the end of the day, Oklahoma has the better numbers and is undoubtedly the better team. Here is why Texas fans need to shut the f*ck up and go destroy Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl:
Two words: Texas Tech.
The main argument is that Texas should be in the Nat'l Title game because they beat Oklahoma and, because they beat Oklahoma and only have 1 loss. That's a valid argument, until you factor in the fact that Texas Tech beat YOU and THEY only have 1 loss, so by your logic they should be in the Nat'l Title game too. Hell, why don't we have every team with one loss come in and play a quarter or so, so everyone gets a slice?The fact is, you have a circumstance in the Big 12 with Texas Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma where they all beat each other, and this, though I don't necessarily like it, virtually nullifies the games they played against each other. Here's a visual representation:
Does anyone see the problem here? They all beat each other, therefore, essentially, the games they played are almost thrown out of the record book, leaving us to rely on the other remaning games, the wins, and yes, the quality of the wins.
I don't like it, don't get me wrong about this. I'm not just one of those Texas-haters, but at the same time I understand how the BCS works. The BCS sucks, but at the end of the day, it got it right. It's not only a good matchup, Oklahoma and Florida, but it's the BEST matchup. Let's face it, right now, those are the two best teams in the country. 7 weeks ago or whatever, things were different, Texas was the best team in the country. But it's not, now. Deal with it. The numbers don't lie, and the BCS computers (which uses 6 formulas) have crunched the numbers, and when the entire season is put together, the two best teams are playing. That's the beauty of the BCS, which is one of the few positive things about it: it makes damn sure that the WHOLE season counts. Every game, every snap, every play, and your opponents, from week 1 to week 13, are factored into the formula and when it's finished, the two statistically best teams are revealed, even if one lost to another in the regular reason, that doesn't really matter because it would nullify every other game played that year.
That's how the system works. What else do you want? A playoff? Yeah, I want one, too, but it's never going to happen as long as you idiots keep watching the god damn Meineke Car Care Bowl and all those other stupid games no one cares about. So, in the meantime, be happy with what you have, which is a January 8th matchup between the two best teams in the country.
*Note: Also, for all the Texas whiners who tell me I'm wrong, take a look at the other polls besides the BCS. The coaches poll, the media poll, the CBS Sports poll, they ALL have Oklahoma ranked above you...and that's without numbers or calculations, just off opinion. That means that they all agree with me. That means that the whole sports world outside Texas agrees with me. That means that the only people who seem to think you're right is, well, you. So shut the f*ck up, stop bitching, and go enjoy your Fiesta Bowl.
