assuming OU losees, if florida wins who else would be there? alabama? they're already behind UT in the computers and would fall behind UT in the voters. would the voters jump tech to consensus 1? i doubt it, the bloom has come off that rose.
of the 1 loss teams, texas's 1 loss is still the 'best': on the road, at night, playing the 7th straight game with no bye, playing the 4th highly ranked team in 22 days, and lost on essentially the last play of the game. if what happens on the field is supposed to matter, the circumstances of that loss have to matter.
A&H really rate being undefeated highly. and they must take into consideration something like what order the schedule was in or when the go ahead points were scored, as must massey, because we're ahead of OU in both.
