Texas scre-OU-d by BCS

Texas lost out in the tie breaker for the Big 12 South title to Oklahoma, a team Texas beat 45-35 earlier in the season. So Oklahoma will play Les Mizzourables (a team Texas destroyed) for the Big 12 title and, barring a miraculous upset, will likely play in the national championship game against the winner of the Alabama/Florida SEC championship game.

Boy, how heartbreakingly close was Texas to playing in another national championship game? All we would have had to do is have Blake Gideon catch the ball in the Texas Tech game, or tackle Michael Crabtree on the next play...



Texas will likely play USC in the Fiesta bowl. Doesn't seem like a BCS bowl should be a let-down, but it feels like it now.
