The BCS Mess = Hot Garbage

Black Sunday...

It's been pretty much a terrible day for everything I'm a fan of. The Big XII's bogus tie breaker came down to humans mixed in with computers and in the end they set up a Big XII championship game comprising of two teams my Texas Longhorns beat. Oklahoma as we all know were beaten 45-35, and then waxed Missouri on national TV. I guess we'll have to call this the "We got drilled by Texas bowl." As one poster so eloquently put it on Orangebloods, Mack Brown might feel a little bit like a pimp watching his two Big 12 bitches pillow fight it out Saturday night. But I can assure you that Mack is not amused. He's been visibly and vocally upset at the system. This is a system where it is important to embarrass the other team for "Style Points" and turns and tells us to make sure we keep the rules of good sportsmanship. Right or wrong Mack Brown simply wont play that kind of game. In other news the 45-35 campaign did work because a number of human voters were swayed. Unfortunately the losses around the nation that didn't go the way for Texas strength of schedule wise destroyed any computer advantage Texas may have had.


What's next for Texas...

It looks like Texas is now headed for the Fiesta Bowl barring an Oklahoma loss in the Conference Championship Game. Sources report the most likely opponent for the Horns will be the Buckeyes from "The Ohio State University." I think this is a good matchup for the Horns because playing a mid-major BCS buster like Utah or Boise St. is a lose/lose situation. A win over a team like that is supposed to happen and no one cares and if you lose you are a laughing stock. Ohio State represents a big named team that helps with recruiting and appeal. I also think the Horns match up well with the Buckeyes. Ohio State has a few elite defensive players in James Laurinitas and Malcolm Jenkins. They have a good offensive line and strong running game on behind Chris "Beanie" Wells. Freshman sensation Terelle Pryor has had some bright spots but has shown some trouble running the Bucks offense. I think the speed of the Texas defense matches up well with the Bucks and Colt McCoy is more than capable of leading the Texas offense against any defense in the nation in The Big Cat's opinion.


In Conclusion...

If the Big Cat had an opinion and a vote for some of the major college football awards...This will be the first in the series.

Davey O'Brien Award - Colt McCoy
(Nation's top QB)




The Longhorn QB has been the most efficient this year and has done the best work with the least around him. As a Horns fan I will not discount what Chris Ogbonnaya, Jordan Shipley, Quan Cosby and the rest of the Longhorn offense has done, but McCoy hasn't had a Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, Manuel Johnson, Dez Bryant, or Percy Harvin around him. McCoy has come a long way since being the small town QB with a name suited for Texas QB.
