If Penn State runs the table, they almost certainly will be in the BCS Championship Game. That is pretty cool. I am a mild Penn State fan (I like to see my home state do well, and I have several friends there), but I am not a JoePa worshiper. I'd like to see him go out with a championship this year and retire, or announce that 2009 will be his last season.

The O line got whupped. Mizzou got away from the run too much, but it seemed they were getting killed in the backfield whenever they tried (other than Daniel running).

P.S. that last INT wasn't an INT:

Seeing that image just pisses me off. They were going to score on that drive.

RED RAIDERS 8-0 BABY! BRING ON THE HORNS!!

Lat, I didn't see any of the video from Columbia, did Colorado's bus break down and they didn't make it to the stadium?

Colorado sux and Mizzou was pissed.

Mizzou is going to blow out every other team they face...until the Big 12 Championship game, where their shitty defense will be exposed again.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GREAT game tonight. That poor Texas DB that dropped the interception is going to have to live with that forever. I think Texas Tech will probably move up to #3, although I think they would probably get beat by USC and maybe Oklahoma. We'll find out about Oklahoma in a couple of weeks.

I was impressed by Tech, but there's no way they beat Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

I'm tempted to agree. That was a very hard game to watch (as a Texas fan). Tech played really well, especially in the first half, but Texas played really poorly until partway through the third quarter (some of which was due to how well Tech was playing, no doubt). Still, I saw a couple of easy plays that Texas blew, each of which would likely have won the game for them - dropped passes, and especially the should-have-been-intercepted Harrell pass at the end of the game. I agree with FMW... that poor guy's got to feel bad. He catches that pass, and it's very likely Texas plays for the national title. Now? Pretty much no chance of that - and it's altogether likely that they won't make a BCS bowl game at all, even if they win out.

But, as they say, if you let a game hinge on one bad play, you can't be surprised when things don't go your way. Tech played well (and the crowd was *really* into it - looked like a fun place to be if you're a Tech fan), and it'll be interesting to see how things play out in the next few weeks. I'd give Tech a fair-to-good chance of beating Oklahoma State in Lubbock, but going to Norman to play OU is going to be tough for anyone to come out with a win. Of course, I'm hoping they lose both, so that Texas can still win the division anyway . No offense Jeff, I know you'd be hoping for the same if the situation was reversed .
