We got screwed again in 1999.

In 1998, we were passed over for the BCS in favor of Ohio State (ranked 4th) and two-loss Florida (8th).  Then in 1999, we finished 6th in the BCS standings but were passed over in favor of Michigan (ranked 8th).

I'll be happy if :hornsdown gets screwed this year because it will mean someone has finally been screwed by the BCS worse than K-State was.

Shouldn't Texas Tech be in over Texas?  That would piss the hell out of people, but Tech DID beat Texas

UT's BCS rank is higher, UT would travel better, UT would get better TV ratings, etc.

So UT will go

Yeah, 1998 was the ultimate screw-job.  It's not like we lost to a horrible team.  We had one loss and it was in the B12CG.  We go to the alamo bowl.  Skip 5 years, Oklahoma has one loss, it was in the B12CG, and they go to the NC. . .really?  BCS blows.

Damn we used to be really, really fracking good.  Now I don't even pay any attention to the whole BCS mess.

Another big factor in the 1998 screw job was Wisconsin.  They played a non-con schedule as bad as KSU (but didn't take near the heat for it), had a worse overall SOS than KSU, didn't have to play Ohio State or Michigan State, and yet were still declared Big 10 champs by virtue of the Big 10 tiebreaker rule that says that the team which had not won the conference in a longer period of time got to go to the Rose Bowl.  That basically forced two Big 10 teams into the BCS despite that conference not really deserving it that year. 

And then Michigan in 1999.   :chainsaw:

I understand that, but that is Texas logic as to why they should be in over OU, shouldn't the same apply to Texas Tech?  I mean, if their argument is based on principal, then they should VOLUNTEER that Tech go BCS over them

I'm not saying that Tech SHOULD play over UT in the BCS, but OU & Tech fans SHOULD throw that back in their face when they botch a decade from now about not going over OU

Quote from: article deal
That phenomenon is Snyder's Revenge. It's so strong that it has persisted even though K-State made the Fiesta Bowl in 2003.

Whatever. When you rape OU the way we did we got there by ourselves.
