Going into the last couple of weeks, we knew that a good team was going to be left out of the Big 12 championship. Unfortunately, in this situation, it was us. It is what it is. We don’t like it, we don’t agree with it or think it’s fair, but, like anything else, we’ll handle it and move forward.OU coach Bob Stoops finds the rating system fair after being ranked ahead of Texas. “They don’t have agendas, they don’t have loyalties, they don’t have opinions. They don’t have all the bias that everyone else does, and if you say no one else does, then I don’t think you’re really being truthful.” OU is favored to win the Big 12 championship and if they win, will go onto play the winner of the SEC championship game between undefeated Alabama and number 4 Florida. All the controversy this past month has put a strong emphasis on many people to put a playoff system in NCAA football. Though this has always been a controversial topic, this year seems to have more talk about it than ever but obviously with nothing changing.

Oklahoma to play Mizzou for Big 12 title
Oklahoma defeated state rival Oklahoma State Saturday 61-41, putting them ahead of Texas in the BCS standings and leading them to the Big 12 championship game against Mizzou. Despite Texas beating both Oklahoma and Mizzou, OU beat out Texas with a .9351 BCS average compared to Texas's .9223. Texas coach Mack Brown is unhappy with the situation, but understands the situation.

Of course Bob Stoops finds all this fair. What if everything happened differently, and OU won that game Saturday, but still didn't make the leap over Texas? Then, what would he be saying? The BCS is a joke. Like Jim Rome said yesterday on his talk show, "I want Missouri to beat Oklahoma, which has no chance of happening. Then, I want Florida to beat Alabama. Just so we can make this BCS into the biggest soap opera event ever."
