Why not Texas at #1?

[HookEm]

Something's changed. It's my birthday, and Texas doesn't have a loss. Not only do they not have a loss, but they are man handling teams. Mack is not helping players up, a la leading-Heisman candidate VY, but he's stepping on them when they're down, and grinding his Texas boot heel into them. VY has gone from Heisman candidate, to Heisman leading candidate, in the eyes of many. The winds of change are all around us.

At the beginning of the season, I could accept the USC #1 arguement based on several reasons. Mostly, they were returning Leinart and Bush, and hell...they were MNCs. Why argue against such a no-brainer?

It isn't a no-brainer anymore.

At this point in the season, as they say in East Texas, that dog don't hunt.

USC has a win over BCS #10 Oregon and #11 ND.

Texas has wins over BCS #8 tOSU, #12 TTech, and #18 CU.

This isn't the smoking gun of irrefuteable evidence that proves Texas should be #1, but it does prove that there is more than just homerism going on when someone dares to rank Texas above the golden children of the West Coast. And as to the conference strength arguement.....I saw what the PAC has to offer this weekend. I wasn't particularly impressed. It's still USC and a bunch of others, much like the Big12 is Texas and a bunch of others. At least the Big 12 has a few teams in the Top 15. Not saying the Big12>Pac....just saying that we dont have a PAC10>Big12 situation.....

[BlueThunder99TA]

they'll be the big dogs if they beat USC, until then the spot belongs to them, they haven't lost in a LONG time.

sidenote: even as an OU fan, I must say UT looks to be the real deal this year despite a few hiccups, they pretty much destroy football programs that are touted as "trouble for UT", it's scary.

[Who Needs 8]

Because you were losing to OkSU at halftime.

[HookEm]

It isn't like Texas has lost recently, either. IIRC, it's been about 13 months. And the polls are SUPPOSED to be based on THIS CURRENT SEASON. Of course, the polls aren't supposed to be biased either, but we can see how that works out.

[jlofton]

Hookem, everyone knows the reason Texas isnt number one is because USC has won the past two national titles and havent lost in a really really long time. Are they better than Texas? Probobaly not, but thats the reason USC is number one

[HookEm]

Because you were losing to OkSU at halftime.

And USC was down big against Zona going into the 4th.....moot point.

[Who Needs 8]

And USC was down big against Zona going into the 4th.....moot point.

Didn't Zona beat UCLA, who has OkSU beat? Some Cupcakes.

[HookEm]

Didn't Zona beat UCLA, who has OkSU beat? Some Cupcakes.

UCLA has beaten whom? Some cupcakes. Again, moot point. Texas has a tougher schedule than USC, and thus has more wins over BCS ranked teams.

[Slow Five-O]

they all log on to this website and like to watch you cry about texas not being at the number 1 spot.

Don't mind Texas being #2 cause when we beat the #1 team in the Nation it's more embarrasing!!!!

Hey, I'm as big of a UT fan as Hook'Em, but USC should still be #1. You get put there for a reason -- because they won the year before and returned everyone including White, Bush, and Leinhart. For someone else to take that #1 spot, they not only have to earn it, but USC has to give a reason to be moved down. While UT may be showing reasons why they have earned the right to be #1, USC hasn't shown a reason to be moved down. Yes, I know they had a close game against ND, but they won, and that's what #1 teams do. The way I see it, as long as you're top 2 in the BCS, that's all that matters. I hope UT stays #2, gets points in the Rose Bowl, and then spanks USC. That way I'll get points on my bet when I would have given them anyway. :D

[HookEm]

What's funny is I'm the one blinded MAROON when you fucking idiots can't fucking grasp REALITY!!!

I think you are confusing perception and reality. The reality is, Texas has more wins over more highly ranked teams, than USC does. The perception is USC should be #1 by simply being who they are.

[jlofton]

Texas is never going to be number one till USC loses or Texas beats USC. They have won back to back Nation Championships, and have won a bunch of games in a row. Why are you not satisfied with them being at number 2 and playing USC for the national title?

[HookEm]

And I'm not saying that it's a fact that Texas should be at 1. I'm saying it's a fact that it is debateable who should be #1, and to blindly stick USC there shows a lack of knowledge of the current state of college football.

I have no problem with where they are at. I have a problem with PAC 10 elitists, and the Eastern Sports Programming Network snobs who guffaw at the notion that Texas may have a legitimate reason to be ranked on the same level as USC.

C'mon man... you know just as well as everyone else that you're #1 until you lose.

USC 31 straight W's
UT 16 straight W's

Not trying to say who's better, but #1 and #2 don't matter... all that matters is that those two teams get to decide it on the field.

UT started thier season strong while USC has to finish strong. Cal this week (which just happened to be the last loss they had back in 2003). Fresno State is a tough team, and finish will rival UCLA. That's not an easy road to the finish.

But really... who you play and all that rank talk means nothing right now between the two schools.

When you are #1 you are #1 until you lose

I am just as big of a Texas fan as you are. But even as a huge Texas fan I dont feel like they have a ligitimate reason to be ranked on the same level as USC. Texas hasnt won back to back national championships. Until they do I wont complain about them being behind the team who has won back to back national championships.

Say what you like, the fact remains Texas has more wins over BCS ranked teams than USC does. The truth is, the possibility of Texas winning the Big 12, yet alone an MNC...to follow the baseball NC, the #2 basketball team, and the absolute owning of aggy in the Lonestar Beatdown, makes you sick to the stomach. Put down the Haterade, and recognize.

being #1 and having back to back championships has nothing to do with your ranking? one good reason why the BCS has the worst post season in all of sports!!!

And to that I would say, the polls are supposed to be a judging of your team's performance in a given year. I hear what you're saying, and I certainly have no problem with someone pimping USC out as a #1 candidate.....I have a problem with people that act as if you've farted in the midst of someone's wedding vows, when you mention Texas as a viable candidate.

[gonzo]

im totally for UT to go all the way since ND cant w/o a miracle now, but who cares if texas isnt #1 as long as they are top 2 and playing for the nutz then thats all that matters

[Boss Hogg]

USC will be #1 until they lose. It could be argued that based on THIS years performance Texas deserves to be #1, but it doesn't really matter since UT & USC are #1 and #2.

Texas' average victory margin is 34 points per game. It'll all work out.

[jlofton]

Texas had thier chance to be number 1 longer than they did. They messed around with an unranked OSU for to long and dropped in the BCS. They deserve to be number 2.

It'll work out IF Texas can manage to keep winning. Even though we have a winning record at Pyle Field, we still have to post one more W there to get to the Big12CCG. And I have nightmares about the last time we should have blown CU out to play for a MNC.

[HookEm]

And USC has the same stain on their resume.....trailing Zone for 3 quarters, by as much as 28.

[99BRINGIT]

Its hard for me to put the words together, but from what I've seen this year, Texas gets my vote as #1 in the land.


I'm definately not jumping on the Texas bandwagon, but its hard to argue the fact that they are far above the level of almost all Div 1 teams. With the exception of USC, Im not sure that there is anyone that can play with Texas this year.


Hell is definately freezing over in my household, but I now GENUINELY pulling for Texas to win the Nat'l Title. USC is coming dangerously close to Oklahomas record of 47 straight wins. I would rather Texas win the Title, and remove the possibility of someone dethrowning a record that has stood for over 50 years. (If USC were to win the Title again this year, and go undefeated again next year, the Nat'l title game in 07' would be the tie breaking 48th straight win)

[jlofton]

Another thing about Texas I really like too is there are no real stars. I mean they are the number 8 team in total offense in America. But they do not have a player in the top 30 of any offensive catagories. I heard that on The Ticket the other morning and thought that was rather interesting.

Of course there are always going to be schools that have specific orientations to pass/rush etc. like TTech, but he's in the top 30 in almost every catagory

I was at that game :( I honestly think that Texas is the best team in the country and deserves the #1 spot more than USC. People act as if USC can't lose, and they're the golden child... but that's not the case. I won't complain about the #2 ranking unless something goes awry. Hopefully, it'll be a non-issue for the rest of the season. Also, in the event that Texas was ranked #1 and played for all the marbles and lost to USC... that would potentially hurt them more than losing as a #2 team. They would be looked upon as "overrated" and voters might have a harder time voting them highly for next year, thinking they're overrated. Just my .02 and another way to look at it. Hook 'Em \--/

*edit* HAPPY FRIGGIN' B-DAY Hooker... I mean HookEM :D

[jlofton]

Yeah I was at that game too. If they would have won they would have gone on to play the national championship. They just need to take one game at a time. If they do that then they will win the national championship.

the big12 title game does not scare me. this year we know who the starting qb is and should be, we don't have our best qb sitting on the damn bench. It's too bad pretty boy simms had to start that fucking game :mad:

[TRAXX]

I could care less if USC stays #1. As long as Texas is in the Rosebowl to get an oppertuity to play for the NC then ill be happy. From there, may the best team win.

[J&T's 82]

I am aw amazed at how good Texas is this year. However until USC slips up, they will be #1. I am not by any means on the USC bandwagon however, USC seems like they are having trouble getting going in some games. I think that it is probably bordem more than anything. When USC comes out ready to play like they did last year against OU they look unstopable. I am impressed with Vince Young as he looks like Mike Vick and not Cordell Stewart. But have you seen Leinart throw the ball? My goodness he looks like a left handed Dan Marino.

[01WhiteCobra]

At the beginning of the season, I could accept the USC #1 arguement based on several reasons. Mostly, they were returning Leinart and Bush, and hell...they were MNCs. Why argue against such a no-brainer?
.

Until last year's champ gets defeated during the regular season or Texas whoops up on the in the championship bowl, USC will be number 1, Texas will be number 2.

[01WhiteCobra]

Oh yea, happy birthday, fucker.

[BigDumbRedneck]

To be the man, you have to beat the man. USC will be #1 until Texas beats them in January. Next year, Texas will be ranked #1 all season.

Oh yea, happy birthday, fucker.

haha,

Happy Bday Hookem

PERIOD! Yes, you could argue that UT deserves a few votes (which they are getting), but not to be ranked #1 outright. Like I said earlier, that position is USC's until 2 things happen: 1) UT shows they are good enough to warrant number one considerations -- DONE & 2) USC !@#$% up and gives a reason to not vote them #1 -- Translation = LOSING -- which they haven't done.

This whole thread is bullshit tu was number one in the BCS for one week and then went to OSU and proved they could be run and gunned on by the non ranked bottom feeders of the big twelve. It is human nature to swing towards history. USC has been winning for a while as a matter of fact they haven't lost a game since September 2003 and tu just finally got past Oklahoma this year after being OUs bitch for five years. I mean it was Ike beating on Tina there for a while. Lets look at it, USC is 45-3 since 2002 where as tu is 43-6 since the 2002 season. tu is a great ball club as is USC so does it matter if you are first or second, at the end of the season you get the chance to prove what you got! Why don't we all stop crying about this and just wait till the big game like big boys :D

You just can't pass up an opportunity to bash UT, or jump on a team's nuts that you think has a shot at beating them. Your post was pretty stupid. If you look at everyone's posts we all said that Texas was going to beat OSU, but still get bumped back to #2. EVERYONE knew that was going to happen before the game, it had nothing to do with the score, it was gonna happen. Then we have the matter of you trying to judge a team by going all the way back to 2002. IF both teams were the same exact teams, never lost a coach or player, that would still be iffy, but considerable. Texas has lost people, gained people, and just improved so much over the last 3 years. I'm a die-hard UT fan, but I've been saying we shouldn't be ranked as high as we were until we've proven it. Well, we've proven it and we can play with any team in the nation, and probably beat them all too. We could talk about USC coming out flat against many unranked teams, but you'd just ignore those posts :p .

I was unaware that a given year's poll should reflect back three years previous. If that's the case, it may be a decade before aggy sniffs a ranking.

Numero dos I am not judging the team based on the past all the way back to 2002, I was simply establishing how the human thought process of the voters may be established.

Isn't that why a game has 4 qtrs? If a team comes back to win in the last second the last time I checked its still a win. USC started #1 and until they lose they should stay there.

I am also hoping for a USC vs UT Rose Bowl. At that point it won't matter who is ranked where just at the end of 4 qtrs someone is going home with the hardware.

USC has been down at the half before... once to the Pac 10 celler Arizona.

It happens, they got all the good bounces, all the amazing catches, all the everything for about a quarter and a half, but by halftime you just knew that Texas wasn't going to let OSU score another point.

Great teams can take big blows and shake it off. Did they look like a number 2 team for a quarter and a half?? Nope, but they certainly finished like one which is all that matters. Teams get tested in weird ways throughout the season, and it's not always the team that the nation hypes it to be.

FSU got tested by middle of the pack NC State last week and lost.
Miami was getting beat by middle of the road UNC well into the 3rd quarter two weeks ago, but pulled it out comfortably.

You can't judge a team based on two quarters of play. If VTech had come back to win that game after halftime they would have proved that they can take shots and bounce back like nothing happened, but they didn't... in fact it got worse.

The whole OkSU thing is nothing more than one of those 'any given saturdays' type thing that every team has throughout the course of the season. It happened, it wasn't all that pretty, but they readjusted like they are supposed to and took complete control and won by almost 20...

Having yoke problems? Your bandwagons seem to keep breakin' down :o

My bandwagon fell apart after the OU game, LOL. I have been holding it together with 100mph tape ever since :D . This season has not gone as I had hoped for any teams, LOL.
