if we have 5 wins going into OU do we just practice for ISU and ignore that awful 4 game stretch? How terrible is that going to be?

Versus Arizona State in the Alamo Bowl. I think this would be fun. Decent chance I would fall into the river.

Valero Alamo: Oregon vs. Big 12
OU to the national title, OSU in the at large....

:horrorsurprise:
Alamo :surprised:
Would take so rough ridin' hardAlamo :surprised:
sticking with it

Most likely, after we end up 9-3 (lose to OU, OSU and choke one vs Tech or A&M)

That's my prediction as well, but I think it's mostly because I want the Alamo so hard (way more than the Cotton).
The first first set of BCS standings will be unveiled at 8:15 pm ET on ESPN. Eight BCS-conference unbeatens (and Boise State) remain,
OU or OSU to the national championship game....but the problem is that they play in the last game of the year...loser gets mumped with no time to move back up in the rankings...
By selection order...my guess....
BCS = OSU
AT&T Cotton = OU
Valero Alamo = aTm
Insight = Texas
Bridgepoint Holiday = KSU
Texas = Tech
New Era Pinstripe = Baylor
Left out:
KU
ISU
Mizzou

Feel stupid yet Squawk?
OU & OSU win out until they play each other, winner goes to BCS title game, loser to Fiesta.
Cats in this case need to finish 3-3 or 4-2, with the A&M game being especially important, and they will find themselves in Arlington Jan 6 :excited:

The Cotton Bowl is in Arlington? Did they move it to Jerryland? How did I not know that already? What does the actual Cotton Bowl even get used for these days, besides the RRR?
AT&T Cotton
Big 12 vs. SEC Arlington, Texas
Cowboys Stadium Jan. 6
8 p.m. FOX
Well, I would definitely like to go to the Cotton Bowl. Always wanted to watch a game there and this will save me the agony of having to watch the Cowboys.

well for this to happen, OU/OSU has to make the title game, and OSU/OU can only have 1 loss and go to the Fiesta bowl. And KSU needs to beat A&M, KU, ISU, and maybe UT to finish 3rd and go to the Cotton Bowl.
If KSU beats OU and/or OSU I'm not sure how that changes things. Maybe KSU could lose to ISU on purpose to lock up that Cotton Bowl bid.
