    Is TCU far superior to Texas? No way.

    If we are going to pick out one game to make a case, I choose TCU's three point win over AFA.
    I am not saying TCU is far superior, but I am saying on a neutral field or in Ft. Worth Texas goes down.

    I've watched TCU beat the piss out of BYU and Utah and watched them win at Clemson who will be facing #7 GT in the ACC championship (whom they lost to only by 3 points earlier this season). Those 3 wins are more impressive than anything Texas has done this year.

      Texas went on the road and completely destroyed Oklahoma State. The same Oklahoma State that is ranked well ahead of Clemson, BYU, and Utah.

          yeah, I know. Imagine if they ever won a major bowl.

            SC was in fifth place when they played Oregon? I didn't know that.

              So 1 quality win versus 3?

                Is that an admission that you were wrong?

                  No. As with TCU's quality wins, Okie State is overrated.

                    I would say that Texas' overall season compares favorably with TCU. I think the polls have it about right with Texas a couple of notches ahead. On a neutral field, I would give a slight edge to Texas and I think Vegas would also. But it could go either way and it would be a great game. Florida/Alabama vs. Texas would be an awesome game also. Barring a letdown against Nebraska, that is what we will see.

                      This is probably accurate. Texas is really the only team OSU has played. They got a lot of cred for defeating Georgia, but Georgia ended up going 6-5. And now with Oklahoma and Tech being as down as they are, their schedule has been largely a cakewalk.

                      The truth is that Texas is largely unproven, and we'll have to hope that the regular season has them prepared enough to take on Florida or Alabama. I hate for Texas to win another title, but it's better than listening to that awful S-E-C S-E-C chant again.

                      I do think Texas wins 7 out of 10 against TCU, though.

                        I think Bama, Florida, TCU, and Texas are the 4 best teams in the country. I think on a neutral field TCU/Texas would be a hell of a game. But I think TCU can pressure McCoy without blitzing and eliminating any gaps in coverage. And thus I give the edge to TCU.

                        Okie State is overrated. They made noise like BYU did with a week one upset of a team that turned out to be very mediocre. Also, Dez was suspended prior to that Texas game no? I just don't know how good Texas is because I feel as though they've been beating up on poor competition. And truth be told I haven't watched them much at all. But I have seen 3 TCU games beginning to end and they've blown me away at how good they are.

                              Meanwhile, Lebowski is citing the Oklahoma State Cowboys as Texas' quality win this year.

                              Why are you denigrating the Pac 10? You know better.

                                DDD is not playing the role of non-champion well. He seems irritable and confused, I think he will probably not get any better next year.

                                Meanwhile Arizona fans storm the field because they were ahead of 1st place Oregon in the 4th quarter.
