---------------------------------
Correction on the Big 12 South champion scenarios. Apparently the tiebreaker that would have eliminated Oklahoma was misinterpreted. The Longhorns will make the Big 12 title game if either of the following scenario unfolds.
1. Texas beats A&M, OSU beats OU
2. Texas loses to A&M, OSU beats OU then OSU, OU & UT will all be tied at 5-3 and through a long series of tiebreakers, they'll settle for the the team with the highest BCS ranking for the Big 12 South rep. It will not be OSU. Going into the weekend, OU is 10th, UT is 13th.
----------------------------------
We had Anthony Alridge and Case Keenum on with us tonight on SportsRadio 610 and I mentioned to them that there actually is one scenario that would have the Coogs hosting the C-USA title game. It is virtually impossible though. If UCF and UH are the East & West champs respectively with identical 6-2 conference records, then the tiebreaker used to determine home-field would be the BCS rankings. Since neither is likely to receive any votes in the coaches poll or the Harris poll, it would be based strictly on their computer rankings.
Disregarding the votes UCF is currently receiving since a 6-2 conference record means they'll lose this weekend to UTEP, UCF's computer avg. is 47.5, UH's is 73.75.
