almost impossible to compare Big 12 teams to SEC teams because the defenses in the SEC are just tougher than the defenses in the Big 12. That is my gut feeling but there is no way to prove it.

Texas looks like the best team playing OU & TT. But, Bama nor UF played OU or TT so who knows?

I think IF Bama would to get a shot at Texas in the BCS we would have our hands full with Colt McCoy because he can take off running like Jefferson did on Sat. For whatever reason we always seem to have a hard time with QB’s who just take off running such as McCoy of Tebow. Maybe it is because we play a lot of man and have our backs turned etc. I think we would match up better against a Sam Bradford type as we can pressure those guys with the blitz.

Also, I’m not sure we have anyone who can cover Shipley man on man, but maybe Javy can.

So I think we would have a hard time with Texas’ offense. I don’t know how we would do against their D. Their D looks good, but I’m not sure about the competition. My gut feeling is that we could run the ball on them, hold onto the ball and keep our D rested and McCoy off the field.

If we played I’d expect a tight, defensive game like LSU. If we could get that type of game I like our team in the 4th qt. I just feel we may be deeper and in better shape.

Nevertheless against UF & Texas (if we get there) we wil be playing a team with a great D plus a QB that is better than our QB. It is hard to win those games.

However, first things first. We will have our hands full with MSU and if we don’t beat them then who cares about Texas?

…NO.

Like Oklahoma before them, they will get exposed.

if both Florida and Alabama lost a game prior to the SEC championship. How would that change the final picture?

We haven’t had a lot of success against Texas. (GULP Emoticon)

Today two of their guys were talking about the (slim) possibilty of Cincy winning out and playing in the MNC over TX. Basically looking at Texas’s schedule, and then looking at Cincy’s and realizing with the BIG 12 being down, Cincy may have a more impressive Win column.

Texas is good. You can’t go undefeated unless you’re good. But are they better than TCU? I have no idea. Are they even better than LSU? Don’t know. My response would be: You never know. They might be a great team. But they are largely unproven. And as for them deserving a shot at the title, I’d say yes if they go undefeated, but I can’t really justify it, because TCU is sitting there undefeated as well.

I think their defense is good, and it would be a great game. It would also give us old guys a chance to exercise so of the longhorn demons from the past. We have been robbed in a couple of games that we played them back in the 70’s and it is very hard to swallow the fact that we have never beat them.
So, as for me and my house, I say, win out longhorns, then let Bama close the door on that part of our history and bring home a BSC Championship.

Must decide on the field…If Bama beats Florida, then the answer will be known a month later….I would say this though….I would rather play Texas than Oklahoma, and here is why.

Texas’ run game is hurting and McCoy is their leading carrier….We could play zone against Texas, roll coverage to Shipley, NOT have our linebackers turning their back on the QB, and play 5 against the rush…I just cannot see Texas beating a top defense solely with McCoy and Shipley as the only weapons….If their running game suddenly improves, then that changes things. But right now, Texas is fairly close to, but not completely, a one-dimensional team.
