The BCS Works! Everybody Gets What They Want!
Rocky Top Talk — ... your win against Oklahoma!  How, you ask?  Simple!  You are now no longer burdened with the risk that the extra game brings.  Think about it: a loss against Missouri, and an Oklahoma team with 13 games will stand no chance at the national championship game compared to a Texas team with 12 games.  Not only that, but you don't risk getting any of your players injured.  Heal up, plan up, and let Oklahoma take the hard chore.  If OU wins?  Well, you still have a chance!  If Florida ekes out a win in a disappointing game against Alabama, ...

The thinking is, whoever wins the game between Florida and Alabama goes to the BCS Championship to face Oklahoma the winner of the Big 12 Championship game — well, not Missouri, but someone from the Big 12. There’s this scenario to consider as well: Florida may not jump Texas even if they beat Bama. So who wins? Alabama’s strength ...
