I ran the numbers to see what the BCS standings would look like if released today. Peter Wolfe is the lone holdout on his ratings this year, so I went with the five computers that have published their ratings.
As you can see, we have the hardest schedule of all the real contenders.
There’s more great BCS content at Atomic Teeth.

Fell apart in the fourth quarter again. Can’t give up 28 points to close out a game. Spurs, Longhorns….heartache once again.

Nice job Hiphop. Very nice to win what is probably the toughest game on the schedule handily, although the Hawks obviously caught UT at a good time.
The Morningstar FT was terrible and hilarious. He said the ball was wet, which clearly means Texas was cheating somehow. Would the second chance off balance leaner

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. This game was served up on a silver platter for the Spurs and they managed to fumble it like a Minnesota Viking in the playoffs.
I think perhaps Will Ferrell can describe my emotions on the current state of the Spurs season better than I.

EP, I get your point, but I don’t think the fact that Texas hasn’t won a tourney came as an underdog doesn’t support it. Teams are favored because they are better. The odds that they win are greater than those who are not favored. It’s not like Texas goes into games with a secret weapon

I think KU should demand an immediate investigation. Find someone to get to the bottom of this.

Good write up, hiphop. I love the versatitility of the Morris twins on defense. Xavier Henry is probably the key to a big run in the tournament. If he starts hitting open looks, the inside game will really open up. Post to post passing is fun to watch.
It’s pretty nice when

Thanks Trips. I’m hoping for lots of Willie Warren trying to be Sheron Collins. TMG in sync is the scariest thing to face in Norman. That or we get beat up on the boards which seems to be recurring theme of Texas Tech road games.

I don’t think it’s a case of RB not being able to coach, or doing a poor job of coaching. If you read the entirety of Katz’ blog post, he clearly sounds like a coaching searching for answers — answers that come in the form of players contributing, doing what they are coached to do.

I agree that an NIT bid would be acceptable this year, but that if the Razorbacks can get to 20 wins they will have a very good chance at the NCAA Tourney.
Our RPI is bad, and we have no signature wins.
However, we have 8 games left on the SEC regular season schedule. If we

I like how you broke this down, and identified which positions history shows a high star ranking has proven to be important. I personally feel that after what all the recruiting sites dub their top players that there is a major falloff. We all love that the recruiting sites bring

I don’t think we have to win the SEC tourny necessarily. If we make it to the SEC Tourny championship game and have won about 20 games, I would say a tourny bid would look likely. But that is a pretty big task. I know no one cares about the NIT, but that wouldnt be

I like Varez Ward, but he doesn’t seem like the magical missing piece to me. And we’ve got like 15 other guys on scholarship. Losing Varez Ward shouldn’t turn the season into a trainwreck.
Barnes’ “we’re going to fix it” quotes are starting to remind me of Greg Davis talking about fixing the running game. If

Don’t follow basketball as much as you guys do here, but I did watch that game last night. Using my extensive experience in analyzing the sport (next to none) the game felt like it had that “Big Game” feel to it, but somehow it just didn’t turn out that way. Kind of…lackluster?

How much is Mark Few making? Hell, make a run at Izzo. We can do that kind of shit now.
Trips that Barnes quote is infuriating, considering that our entire fanbase has been saying that exact same line for months. Has he been hoping this whole time that they’d turn into Augustin and Gibson?

You have to feel for JS. You just know that seeing Florida unranked, and Northwestern in the top 15, is eating his brain.

Actually, it probably makes him chuckle because he told the BCS how dumb their “no margin of victory” mandate was. Florida is #6 in what he considers his true ratings and Northwestern is #34.

OUR projected SOS of #9 is something to be reckoned with. Even with a loss, if we rebound and win out including big XII champ game. No one else will be near us in the comps (other 1-loss teams that is)
And i don’t think the projection includes a big Xii champ game, does it?

Scip- are you saying we need Bama/PSU losses if we also lose, or do you worry we could get passed even if we win out? If the latter, I just don’t see us being undefeated and not getting in the championship game.
Scipio Tex said:
October 13th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
No one can pass us if we win out.
However, we must beat 4 top 10 teams to win out (including Big 12 title game).
I think we can play for the MNC with one loss if we everyone in the country from a real conference has a loss as well. It just can’t be in the Big 12 title game. That pisses human pollsters off and they’ll penalize us.
I’m not sure what a 12-0 BYU or Utah looks like vis a vis a one loss major.
LonghornScott said:

I think he’s saying that if there are a group of 1-loss teams (us included) that we’d be a clear choice as one of the two best. If one of those two remains unbeaten then it could throw a monkey wrench in the mix.
If we win out it’s clear we’ll be ranked number one.
