Alabama-Florida, TX Tech-Oklahoma Is College Football's De Facto 4-Team Playoff
Dan Shanoff —
As usual, Matt "Doc Saturday" Hinton has the best 10,000-foot BCS breakdown. The upshot: Alabama-Florida in the SEC title game and, in two weeks, Texas Tech-Oklahoma has all the de facto goodness of a 4-team, 2-game playoff to decide who plays for the national title. Sorry, Texas. ...

The Longhorns are currently ranked higher, but if Oklahoma dominates the Tech game the momentum will play a huge part in the minds of the fickle and short sighted voters. This is all fun for you, by the way, because as long as your team is removed from the discussion, (in the words of Dr. Saturday) "Rooting interest: chaos. Always chaos". ...
