    There was no way they were going to let texas lose that game for alot of reasons.....The powers that be had to have a bama/texas national championship game first there is all the tv money and tcu is not as attractive as texas and then these power conferences do not want to give away what they think is rightfully their's......

    I remember when obama was elected he said that they should look into having a playoff system and these power conferences said that politics should not be involved in college football......What a load of crap because that is all college football is about is politics!!!!!!

    Just a sad state of affairs that no one will everyone know who the true national champion really easy just like last season flordia was given it but utah went undefeated and the gators did have a loss....Well it's all about the money!!!!!

    First of all Nebraska screwed themselves.  They gave Texas at least 40 yards, due to stupid plays (kick out of bounds and face mask). 

    Second, I think the clock should have expired,  but that was not happening the game was in Texas.

    Third, congrats to the FG kicker, it was still a hell of a kick.

    Fourth,  you have to love when the worst game of he day was the #1 vs #2.

    IMO, TCU is the best team in college football, and they will not get a chance to prove it. F*ing sucks!

    false false and false.....

    once a ball passes out of the field of play, the clock should stop. even when the ball hit the ground out of bounds, there was still 1 second left on the clock, it was the right call

    the most boring game of the day was Texas/Neb....58 minutes of boring as shit, until the last 2 minutes....12-13 final....snorefest....SEC final game wasnt THAT great, but at least there were points scored...it was a blowout and a joy to see the best team in the nation show their true colors...

    TCU is a great team, and i would agree that they would probably put up a better fight tnan Texas will, but TCU has played NO ONE...Utah? BYU? a 4 loss Clemson team? those arent good teams people....once i have seen them tested, then i will give them the credit they deserve

    I use to watch college football religiously,but since all this BCS stuff in the last decade,my blood has boiled
    and I really don't care if I miss a big game or most other games. This would change if they introduce a playoff to open the doors for all. We are watching Bullshit!!!!!!!!!

    Who has Texas played and/or beaten?  a 5 loss Oklahoma team?  a 4 loss Tech team?  Please- if you think UT is better, that's fine.. but don't preach Texas' all mighty schedule.


    11 of UT's 12 wins have come against teams with at least 4 losses

    There was no way they were going to let texas lose that game for alot of reasons.....The powers that be had to have a bama/texas national championship game first there is all the tv money and tcu is not as attractive as texas and then these power conferences do not want to give away what they think is rightfully their's

    so no matter where the field goal kick went they were going to say it was good  lol!!!!!!! 

    lot of ppl. crying about if the clock ran out or not the review said 1sec left which i agree with  and hear we go again the games are rigged and so on  but when tx stoped neb on  4th down and both ref spotted the ball at the same spot short &that play was over turn the ball was moved up another 3ft. for the first down   but the ref wanted tx. to win yea that makes alot of since

    11 of UT's 12 wins have come against teams with at least 4 losses

    al the teames are the same u make a case for any # of teames

    TCU  9 of 12 of thier wins came from teams with 5 losses or more not counting  Tx.st.

    ALAB  9 of 13 of thier wins came from teams with 4losses or more not counting  Chatt.

    FLA. 9 of 13 of thier wins came from teames with 5 losses or more not counting Char.St. 

    untill thier a play off  were going to go through this every yr.

    its just like last yr. between  T.T. & OLK & TX. all 3 were in the top 5 and lose to a top 5 so who goes ? okl went  just part of the  BCS. thats how the chips landed.

    Texas was outcoached yet again, and Colt Mccoy showed he is overrated and always has been as far as his NFL skills are concerned.

    As for TCU vs. "Bama, cmon. We'll never know but you can't really think they'd give a fired up 'bama team a close game. Not that TX will but I think they have a better shot.

    The point wasn't to compare SOS with Bama and Florida, I was just responding to person above me who asked who TCU had played and beaten.. and I just responded.

    TCU's W's are more impressive than UT"s..

    go back and review that entire football game Bruce... tell me how many seconds expired on out of bounds throws in that one game, that were not put back on the clock... i'll tell you... zero!  and yet, i promise you if the same ruling was applied to the rest of the game as you are saying was correctly applied to the last play, there would have been a good :30 to 1:00 left in the game...

    so what you are really saying is, it was the correct call because it was the last play of the game... OR, the refs completely fucked up the entire game EXCEPT for the last play... because i absolutely guarantee you every single other out of bounds throw had AT LEAST 1 extra second run off the clock...

     

    take that weak ass argument somewhere else... seriously!  that is some fucked up reasoning on your part...

    the fact is it was NOT the correct call... and i say that despite the fact i desperately needed that call to win a ML parlay that had Texas on it...

    if the refs aren't going to put :01 back on the clock every other time that happens for an entire football season... why do it on that play?

    it was NOT the correct call...

    What are you talking about? Of course it was the correct call. They got it 100 % correct. Time ran off the clock, they reviewed the play, and it clearly showed that 1 second was left. It was a horrible mistake by Brown and McCoy with clock management, but luckily for them it all worked out in the end.
