They may be down to QB 3.

And Bama could beat UGA of course.  Michigan SHOULD win.  And of course Texas SHOULD win but will hafta fight off zebras to do it.

We could still have mayhem even with a Michigan win.
I think that the zebras made a few mistakes in Arlington today. But the net result was probably in Texas' favor. The no-call on clear DPI on FoSu's first possession set the tone. It was about as clear as the DPI no-call that robbed OU late in the Bedlam game. I counted two other bad no-calls, and they went one each way.
Texas was clearly the far superior team, almost doubling the spread. The win will help the Horns' case for going to the CFP, I think.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Which he did.
I have seldom (if ever) rooted for Bama, but Georgia over the last three years has earned the right for everyone else to hope that they lose at some point.
Now we'll see if both Bama and Georgia get into the CFP, or if just one of them does, or if neither of them do.

Texas' shot at the CFP turns on that question and/or the FSU-Lvl game.

And, congrats to the Horns. They leave the Big 12 the way they started in it, as conference champs.

One of the negative aspects of the ever-expanding playoffs is that the conference championship--which not so long ago was the pinnacle of nearly every team's expectations--has been devalued.

delightful cluster

fla st is top four with jordan travis but not even close now - too bad too they might’ve won it all with him but these backups are awful.

i’d vote mich, dub, tx, and ala 

slight tx lean to win it all but really idk it’s wide open imo

Man, all I can say is, no Texas fan can take a conference championship for granted.  That was a really important win and an important honor for the team.  At the beginning of the season I thought the Horns were more of a 9-3 type team, and there were a couple of games that Texas barely squeaked out, else it could have been a 9-3 season.  But this team game together with grit and determination in a way that I haven't seen from a Longhorn squad since 2009.  It was a hell of a fun season to be a Longhorn fan.

I'm delighted with the conference championship, and consider anything else this season to be icing on the cake.  It would be painful to be so close to making the CFP and then not get in, but that's out of the team's hands.  They've now done everything they can, on the field, and we'll just have to see what happens.

Yesterday's blowout win over an Oklahoma State team that has owned us for the past decade+, was enjoyable and more than a little cathartic.  It's a nice way to move on to the next chapter.

Hook 'em Horns!
