I know Texas is GOOD, but did Alabama do anything that made them drop back?

Doesn't matter, Alabama controls their own destiny by playing Florida.Comment -
It's called an asskicking of humungous proportions. Something Alabama has not done in over a month.Comment -
Texas wanted to stay 3, bad spot spot for them nowComment -
alabama basically stayed undefeated with a lucky blocked fg. Texas crushed ok.state on the roadComment -
Alabama has played a tougher schedule though, and they probably have the best defense in the country.Originally posted by seaborneqComment -
almost losing to an unranked team @ home, or crushing a ranked team on the road. its 'what have you done for me lately'. this is no big deal, as AL can re-jump TX with a good showing SatComment -
Don't doubt the computers. They play the games.Comment -
Fine with me ,
maybe it will give the team some motivation. Everybody has been on the bama bandwagon lately, hopefully this will rekindle the fire.Comment -

And isn't SOS supposed to be a component of the computer rankings used by the BCS?Comment -
No one knows how the hell the BCS is computedComment -
The unranked team that almost beat Alabama (Tennessee) would only be a small underdog on a neutral site vs. the ranked team that Texas beat (Oklahoma State), so I don't think that should be much of a factor.Originally posted by jds07vComment -
If they used computers to rank boxers or UFC fighters people would die. Only in college football is considered normal.Comment -

What reason? I can't think of any.
Either Fla or Bama will lose right? Win out = BCS Title game right?Comment -
But why shouldn't Alabama and Florida meet in the BCS Title game since they are by far the two best teams. Who wants to see Texas getting steam rolled in the BCS game?Originally posted by KKoz9Comment -
Alabama didn't play this week. Morons arguing the Tennessee game was a factor don't realize it is irrelevant on a week to week basis only taken in the scope of things as a whole. Then again I'm preaching to morons.Comment -
same reason Fla jumped UGA last yr early in the season.
UGA had a bye week, FLA didntComment -
Alabama may have the best defense but their offense has scored 3 td's total in last 3 games.Comment -
Who has Alabama played that is on par with Oklahoma or Oklahoma State ?Comment -
Oklahoma State would be a bottom-tier team if they played in SEC.Originally posted by pokernut9999
Oklahoma was a great win, and I am not knocking Texas by any means. It's just that almost all SEC teams play good defense, and any team can beat any other team on a given week. Tennessee even gave Florida a battle.
I guess the difference in SOS will become more apparent as the season goes on.Comment -
This year Oklahoma St would be top 3 or 4 in SEC.
SEC is weak after the top 2Comment -
Defense my friend. That is what sets SEC apart from Big 12. Even in what you call a "weak" year, it is still best conference in the country.Originally posted by pokernut9999
And I live in Pa, so you can't pin a "homer" tag on me.

It doesn't matter anyway -- all three control their own destiny. Win out and they are in. But I'd love to see this playoff:
1 Florida
8 Oregon
4 Cincinnati
5 Iowa
3 Texas
6 TCU
2 Alabama
7 Boise StateComment -
I think all three of these teams are in control of what happens here. It really does not matter here unless both Florida and Alabama lose a game at the end of the year. Then there is an issue then.Comment -

Still a lot of ball to play. Texas could lose to A&M or Kansas. They are good but like Fl and AL they are not great. AL has to play an improving LSU this week. In fact all could drop a game. Oregon and TCU are great sleepers that could pull it off.Comment
