I guess home field advantage really helps
Tech losing their cool so badly in Norman was extremely telling! Playing at Tech, with their scary fans (especially that guy that rings the bell - looks like a psycho!!) was a huge advantage to them. And, OU's record in Norman of 59-2 pretty much tells the tale.
Texas beating OU by 10 points on neutral territory should count for something, right?
Other factors to consider if I were voting in the polls (I am biased though
)
Both TTU and OU had 2 weeks to prepare for each other, whereas Texas had 1 week to prepare for TT after coming off 3 weeks in a row (murderer's row) of tough games- Missouri, Oklahoma and OU.
Besides the week off, both Tech and OU had cream puff games leading into this game - thus having time to rest and recuperate injured players (dislocated elbows!).
Texas beating OU on a neutral field would have much more relevance if it happened a week ago! Of course, if that poor guy had caught the intereception, this would all be moot.
Oh well, sour grapes on my part, I was hoping to go to Miami and cheer for either one of my kid's schools!! I'll just be watching on TV now, but both boys are heading to their respective BCS bowl games - one the nat'l championship (provided UF beats bama), one an at large...
