B-C-Mess Role Reversal!

Stop me if you have heard this one before.  The BCS might be imperfect. For the ump-teenth time the BCS standings have  made a mistake. Or is it the Big 12 conference? Whatever way you slice it, the Texas Longhorns were shafted when the new BCS standings came out on Sunday. But wait, it is not over yet.  The roles have reversed from a year ago, when the top ranked Missouri Tigers fell to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game.  This season the Sooners will face the Tigers with Oklahoma being the one playing for the right to play in the title game. Then, as Texas fans well know, if Oklahoma were to lose that would open the door for the Longhorns to play in the BCS title game. The Longhorns, despite their 45-35 win over Oklahoma on a neutral field, were jumped by the Sooners after Oklahoma's 61-41 win over Oklahoma State in Stillwater Saturday.  

   This scenario that is unfolding Oklahoma knows all too well. Jason White and the Sooners ended up playing in the title game despite not playing in the Big 12 championship game in 2005. The Sooners went out that year and lost to USC in the title game. Longhorns fans can only wonder what will happen if one of the top two teams loses  Saturday. Will they get their chance to play for the title? Only time will tell. One thing is for certain, the Longhorns will not play in the Big 12 title game Saturday.  Whether that is a good thing or bad we can only wait and see.
