That four game gauntlet in a row - OU, Mizzou, OK St, Tx Tech - is the toughest stretch any team has faced since I've followed college football. <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong - if Texas and OU played tomorrow, I'd pick OU 49-42...but that's not what its about.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175528592898233231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567562.post-58492857771245869012008-12-01T20:30:00.001-05:002008-12-01T20:30:00.001-05:00Eaaaasyy on those Big East "flashes in the pan";-)...Eaaaasyy on those Big East "flashes in the pan";-) The Big Least is the only other BCS league with a winning record against the other BCS conferences.<BR/><BR/>UNC's beatdown of Rutgers didn't mean much until the Knights turned things around.<BR/><BR/>As for VT, I just think UNC has the better overall resume for the season, head-to-head matchup be damned.

To be honest, I do think we'll see Rutgers, Connecticut and South Florida float back down to Earth over the next few seasons ...<BR/><BR/>So head-to-head be damned for UNC vs. VT ... but head-to-head reigns in UT vs. OU? :)<BR/><BR/>BTW, HT for keeping Texas above Oklahoma.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511919115372205489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567562.post-5085968611593987922008-12-01T20:21:00.000-05:002008-12-01T20:21:00.000-05:00OK, cool.

Slightly better SOS too.<BR/><BR/>I also don't tend to weigh in blowout wins over Big East flashes in the pan ... :)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511919115372205489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567562.post-24414153450970139522008-12-01T20:15:00.000-05:002008-12-01T20:15:00.000-05:00Blowouts of GT (28-7), BC (45-24), UConn (38-12), ...Blowouts of GT (28-7), BC (45-24), UConn (38-12), Rutgers (44-12).<BR/><BR/>Close losses to VT (20-17), MD (17-15), UVA (in OT).<BR/><BR/>Yeah, they got manhandled by NC State.
