All Things Longhorn

#1 in all computer polls except for that rat bastard Sagarin! I knew there was something fishy about his rankings.
 

wow, that is a TINY margin, and i agree, it won't stay like that as the year plays out, but at least we have a very comfortable margin on vatech
 

I would also like to salute OU on their most recent #1 ranking as well:

Who says the BCS doesn't know what they're doing? At least for one week they finally have it right...
 

The BCS throws out a team's best and worst computer rankings; thus, Texas lost a #1 and a #2, but retained a perfect computer score of 100.
--PB--
 

The only reason we're number 2 in Sagarin's rankings is that the BCS doesn't use his actual ratings. He had to come up with a different rating that doesn't take into account margin of victory, etc.

If you look at his rankings on USAToday.com, he has us at #1, too, just not in the rankings that the BCS uses.
 

Barring any upsets, looks like its gonna be USC-TEXAS in the Rose Bowl. We'll be waiting for u in our backyard of Pasadena. Everyone has their own opinion on who the #1 team in the country is, but we'll settle it January 4th.
 

The Trojans are finally done with their horrific road schedule ( besides cal), so SC will finish up with 5 of their remaining 6 including the rose bowl in southern california, where they will complete the most impressive feat, a third straight national title. And Texas, don't forget, everyone last year said oklahoma was playing better that USC and that they should be number 1. I'm feeling a little deja vu, and USC will be waiting for you where this national title streak started, in our backyard, the Rose Bowl. Bring your A-game because we never forget ours. Just ask your owner, Oklahoma.
 

I just hope all of the other undefeated's go down. I don't want to hear the idiots say that Va. Tech had a chance to beat Texas. It wouldn't happen. And Georgia and 'Bama? Really... I don't think so. I want to see Texas knock off USC and no one else have an undefeated season just so there is no question. If Va. Tech does win out, Texas should still be on top due to the disparity in BCS ratings. Oh, I can't wait until the Cowboy beating next week.
 

Just to add to the anti-USC rhetoric:

And people wonder why I refer to USC students as rich, spoiled cheaters...
