If you got hate in your heart...let it out.
Along with every other sports media outlet, let's begin this year's BCS debate. I'm sure it won't be much different than last year's...or any other year's, but it's still fun.
Incredible sports knowledge and analysis from the 414 crew.
"We're comin'! Huh..huh.."
Who would you rather listen to broadcast a baseball game?

Rules of the Blog
- 1. Naps is in charge here. He breaks the rules when it is necessary. Don't reference the rules after things he's posted. If he broke one, it's more than likely because you said something stupid.
- 2. While racial slurs and shots at people's sexual preference can be funny, use them sparingly. We do like to sound somewhat intelligent here.
- 3. This is a blog about sports played by other people. No one cares how well you golfed last weekend.
- 4. Don't start consecutive posts for topics that are closely related. (e.g. Don't write about Livan Hernandez in one post then start a new post five minutes later whining about Mike Lamb.)
- 5. New posts are for new topics. Don't bring up old issues.

Let's Play!

I prefer Oklahoma. I like Oklahoma. I don't like Texas. But Texas beat Oklahoma handedly, fair and square, at a neutral location. To me its obvious.
Wasn't really handedly...Oklahoma dominated most of the game...they pulled the same shit the vikings did against the Colts this year.
But you are right, Texas did beat them. But you have to look at the Texas Tech games as well. Oklahoma absolutely slaughtered Tech while Texas lost (on a last second play).
Assuming Alabama beats Florida, Oklahoma beats Missouri and USC beats UCLA, here is my top 5 preceding conference tournaments.
Alabama
Oklahoma
Texas
USC
Texas Tech
If Florida beats Alabama, that is gonna cause big problems...
how often does a one-loss team that lost to another one-loss team end up higher in the rankings than the team that beat them?
i have no empirical evidence, but i'm willing to venture a guess...
the thing that really helped the sooners, aside from having the best team in the nation, was scheduling tough opponents. OU beat currently BCS ranked #11 & #13 TCU and Cincinnati.
To touch on Dawg's point, the sooners were up with eight minutes left in the game and lost their top defensive player, middle line backer Ryan Reynolds, early in the second half.
Texas won the game, the sooners won the war. Beating better teams, and beating them with conviction.
Dan Bebee, Big XII Commissioner, on the BCS as a three-way tie deciding factor:
"If you win all of your games you don't have to worry about this scenario."
"they wanted to put in the team that had the best chance to play in the national championship game."
Oh yeah, naps, I don't see where you are getting these terms "impressively", "handely". Did you even watch the game? Or did you just see the score?
(1) I never said, and I quote, "impressively."
(2) Yes, I watched the game.
They lost to Texas by ten points. It isn't like the game came down to the wire (a la the Texas/Texas Tech game).
You can argue one team outplayed another for most of a game, but that doesn't change the fact that they lost the game by two scores.
By allowing a team to be ranked higher than another with an equal record, when they lost to the other team is opening a can of worms, in my opinion. Where do you draw the line?
Naps, I agree, its a shitty situation...I just think that Oklahoma is the better team right now. But obviously the BCS sucks and the only way it can be fixed is to have some sort of a playoff system.
