They haven't played good running Big XII teams. Iowa State is the only really good running team I can think of in that conference, and they haven't played them. Shut the hell up.

That's bullshit. First of all that's Big XII haterism.

Second of all Texas wasn't ready b/c A&M was 5-5 and Texas had blown everyone except Ohio State out this year.

They were overconfident and thought they had it in the bag.

Therefore they went in there not ready and had to fight for it. Just like USC has had to do this year.

Once again if USC had trouble with those offenses then they'll have trouble with the #1 scoring offense. Not to mention they haven't played a defense that ranks as well as Texas.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Texas hasn't faced any good offensive teams, and as Glove said, Texas KNEW A&M was going to run, and they still couldn't stop the run.

You shut up.

I'm tired of listening to everyone on this board hate on the Big XII so I'm going to defend them.

If you listent to you guys then the Big XII is a D 1-AA conference and USC has already beaten Texas by 50 points.

I wouldn't doubt it if they do.

Ugh, ASU needs to get their shit together for the 2nd half or the Pac-10 is looking at only four bowl eligible teams. Arizona up 17-5 at the half.

Somebody, save this thread!

They've played decent offensive teams. Has USC played a good defensive team? No. About on the same level as Texas has played against offenses this season.

The best defense they played was Notre Dame who gave them fits. Texas is much better than ND on defense.

And Texas has scored on plenty of good defenses this season.

Do you keep forgetting that I live right in the middle of Big XII country and watch practically the same games you do every week?

 

The Big 12 was a strong football conference from the time of its inception until a couple years ago, but with quite a few of the programs falling on hard times (Nebraska and KSU notably) it's easy to see why winning the conference isn't as impressive as, say, the SEC, ACC or even Pac 10.

 

I don't think the conference will be on hard times for too long, but it just isn't that great right now

Is 2 teams in the conference ranked in the top 25 supposed to prove to anyone that the conference is great? It was great last year, but now it's undefendable.

[Damaramu 0]

I wouldn't doubt it if they do.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

They won't blow Texas out. They won't come anywhere close. Texas will be the best team they've played in 2 1/2 years. To think otherwise is to ignore the facts and just hate.....again. Which you guys are becoming famous for.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

The only conference people seems to want to take away a bid for is the Big East. No one said anything about taking away the Big 12 bid. Stop manufacturing arguments to support your persecution complex.

yes and I'm talking about the fact that these guys talk about the conference like it's never been good and they refuse to give the teams the benefit of the doubt despite a winning history.

1 good defense. The Ohio State University.

I think that Oklahoma team last season was a hell of a lot better than Texas is this year.

I'm going to predict the future:

 

December 4th, I start the Rose Bowl thread.

 

December 5th, Al closes the Rose Bowl thread.

[UZI Suicide 0]

Right because you were in the locker room, you talked to the coaches and players, so you know exactly how they were feeling going into the game.

 

You're a dumbass.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Well you're a pretty big dumbass yourself with your blind hating.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

What blind hating? I made points and you never refuted them, you just created your own arguments that people think the Big 12 doesn't deserve a bowl bid or that the Big 12 is a D-1AA conference, and then argued against those imaginary arguments.

You didn't tell me who's competing in the Smurf Turf Classic Championship Bowl Game yet.

I dunno, Buffalo?

OU last year would've been beaten by Texas at the end of last year. I was around the OU team last year. They had no heart.

 

OU's defense is good. They were the #1 rush defense in the country for a long time. Colorado's defense isn't bad. Kansas actually has a good defense.

So no they haven't played just one good defense. If they've played one good defense then USC has played no good defenses.

[Guest Leelee]

They can't.

 

I'm assuming some WAC team, and some random 6-5 BCS team.

[Damaramu 0]

Ok it's obvious nobody is going to change their mind.

Just fucking drop it and we'll wait until the game.

I'm gonna get numbers and edit, give me time.

Dama is selling out his own team for Texas. Can a mod change his sig to that of Texas because it's now clear he has completely switched allegiance.

[Bored 0]

Actually serious answer it will be Boise State against against an ACC team (Clemson/Boston College/winner of Maryland/N.C. State).

[Guest Leelee]

It's clear that the Big XII winner belongs in the New Orleans Bowl. We all agree. And it's OU's fault for being horrible since 2000.

 

Oh no, where are they playing that bowl now?

 

It can't be Houston, either... because 2 Houston bowls would lead to mass confusion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I'd agree except that I think Texas has a better team to play USC than Oklahoma, mainly because Vince Young will be a lot more effective against USC than Jason White. White was a great QB at tearing up bad teams with mediocre defenses, but his total lack of mobility made him decidedly mediocre against stronger teams. I don't think a Jason White-led team could have beaten tOSU like Young's team did this year.

Bored, I heard the Pac-10 wanted to institute a Pac-10 title game, have you heard about this, and if so, do you know when it will be instituted?

What? It's obvious that Texas is better than OU was last year. And I know that OU had no heart. You're telling me a team that gives up in the first quarter of the national title game has heart? Yeah it was 38-7 at halftime but Carroll said it himself "We scored 38 in a half. Why can't they? They have less to go to catch up!" But did OU even try? No. That's not heart.

 

And I'm supporting Texas b/c they have the best chance to beat USC.

 

Now I'm done with this argument. You guys aren't going to change my mind. You're just hating on Texas b/c they're from the Big XII and you don't want to admit someone is close to your precious Trojans.

Being horrible since 2000? I showed the stats earlier. They're one of the best teams in the country aside from USC since 2000.

Lafayette.

 

Cause I know everyone wants to know, here is the Sun Belt conference championship scenerios:

 

-Louisana-Monroe wins if they beat Louisiana-Lafayette.

 

-Arkansas State wins if they beat North Texas and ULM loses to ULL.
