why does it matter?

a good football team is a good football team, regardless of the competition.

people said the same thing about Utah and USC a few years ago, UT and WVU last year, and again WVU this year.

"they haven't played anyone good"
"they come from a lousy conference"
etc etc

wasn't that what people said about TCU before Tech played em?

i've noticed people using those justifications way too often. oftentimes, they're incorrect
remember two years ago, when USC crushed OU even though everyone though OU would roll because they came from a tougher conference?
same with UT last year - the Big 12 was down, so lots of people assumed they'd get crushed by USC

this isn't even about UT's team really, it's just something i've noticed. don't fall into that mindset of discounting a team just because they haven't yet played anyone good

i doubt any team in the big 12 will have any quality wins unless they scheduled a few tough non con games.

i guess you could call nebraska in lincoln a semi quality win. although the 20mph wind against your face in the 4th quarter with snow falling was probably more adverse than the crowd.

oh this little thing called BCS wink.gif

not sticking up for it, as I'm not a fan of the BCS, but it does make quality wins matter.

technically, it shouldn't matter, since strength of schedule was allegedly taken out of the BCS formula.

of course, that isn't the case with the computers ranking UT 15 and USC 2 last week.

it's painfully obvious SOS is still in there, although i'm not sure as to what capacity

SOS should be included, but that is just my opinion

there is no reason UT should be ranked so low, espically since the only loss is to OSU

according to my buddies and the official bcs website, SOS is in there right now.

go here http://www.bcsfootball.org/cfb/story/5901816 and click the individual computer rankings pages to see the specific rankings

With SOS in mind, they are pretty much where they belong.


The season isn't over yet, and they could probably jump up to 4th if they continued to win every game, and with strong performances.



I'd personally love to see them play West Virginia in a bowl game.

doesn't really matter how high they go. if Auburn wins out and beats Florida again in the SEC championship game, tthey'll go, assuming there are no other undefeated teams (discounting Boise State)

i don't even think UT is the best one loss team in the country at this point, and their schedule is too weak to change my mind by the end of the season

as long as UT wins out they'll be guaranteed a BCS berth. ideally, i'd like to see em play OSU again if UM beats them. the odds are pretty slim they'd play WVU. if WVU beats Louisville they're going to the championship (again, assuming USC loses, which they should). if they lose, they ain't going to a BCS bowl.

WVU/UT would be fun, though
