It has become an unfortunate thing in college football for teams to run up scores with the starters in, throwing passes until the end, when the game is well in hand (hint hint Texas Tech and Oklahoma).
My hope beyond hope is that Texas plays Florida - with a senior at Florida and a sophomore at Texas (plus husband who played for Texas in the 80's), we would break the bank to get tix and fly as a family to Miami. Talk about a split family!!! It would be crazy!!

It's gonna be tough for Texas to get there. They needed OSU to beat Tech. Now if OU beats Tech and OSU there's a 3-way tie in the Big XII South. The tie-breaker is highest BCS rank and I think if OU beats TTech they will jump and be the highest. And if OU beats Tech and loses to OSU then Tech wins the south because thats a two-way tie with Texas and they won head-to-head. Best route for Texas to get there seems to be the Big XII North team (Mizzou) beating either OU or Tech in the Big XII Championship game and hoping like hell to stay ranked over USC.
My bowl picks:
BCSCG: Florida (SEC Champ/#1) v Oklahoma (Big XII Champ/#2)
Rose Bowl: USC (Pac-10 Champ) v Penn State (Big 10 Champ)
Orange Bowl: Florida State (ACC Champ) v Pittsburgh (Big East Champ)
Sugar Bowl: Alabama (At-large, replacement for UF) v Boise State (At-large)
Fiesta Bowl: Texas (At-large, replacement for OU) v Utah (At-large)
I'm thinking Texas Tech loses to OU and misses out on the BCS games because the BCS can only have two teams from the same conference. OU goes to the BCS title game by being the #2 team and the Fiesta Bowl gets a replacement pick and takes Texas over Tech because the Horns have a bigger fan base and are will draw better rankings.
