More Thoughs on the BCS

Here’s a thought for the whole BCS mess. Texas and Oklahoma will never play nice in the same sandbox. If the powers that be will not work out a system to decide a national championship, I will. Ever since the Big 8 invited the Texas schools to join the conference, the OU vs. TX game was no longer just about bragging rights, and recruiting; it was a conference game that would lead to the league championship.

It’s time for Texas to walk. Texas needs to leave the Big 12 for the PAC 10. I would recommend Texas use its clout to bring along UTEP out of Conf USA as well. BOOM! The PAC 10 now has roots in Texas! USC and Texas are now in a 12 team league with a championship game. The recruiting advantage would be great for Texas…”Son you can stay in state for school and we’ll travel to cities like Las Vegas and Los Angeles…Not Stillwater OK or Lincoln NE. You’ll also be playing in a bigger media market!” Additionally you can no longer discount the PAC 10 champ because they didn’t play in a conference championship game.

The annual OU vs. TX game will now be a non conference game and will add to both schools strength of schedule.

What happens to the big 12 you ask? Well, Arkansas needs to get out of the SEC and come home. The Cotton Bowl will now be home to the OU vs. TX game and we’ll move the Arkansas vs. A&M game to Dallas as well. The SEC can cherry pick any team it wants from the ACC or the Big East.
