They also did not cover vs Okie st. I believe those were the only 2.
Random memory most never talk about... KU game was supposed to be revenge game for KU because what happened in 04. If i recall correctly the game before it ran over so the UT game was shown "in progress". I was in LV so maybe it was different for us West Coasters. Anyway game was 21-0 in like the first 10 minutes. By the time the game was "on" it was already well in hand. That is the type of firepower that team was capable of.
Plus side of all of this is the Pollsters and Recruits will be watching. Yes it will be much tougher than a day game but these are the games these kids came to Texas for.
Here is what i feel needs to happen for UT to make playoffs.
1. UT win out
2.OU, TCU, or WVU play in the B12 Championship with no more than 2 losses.
3. Maryland win 6 or more games
4. USC have no more than 4 losses.
5. 1 of the following teams must lose a game. Clemson, Domers, Bucks
In my opinion a 1 loss UT gets in over every other 1 loss team including a 1 loss SEC title game loser.
The absolute biggest game for UT this year that it is not involved in is ND @ SC. If Sc Wins that I think that could secure our spot.

Based on numbers i have seen UT/OU game should be in the 4-6 range.
Few things that stand out. CBS isn't pulling the numbers it usually does. Maybe they will this week with UGA/LSU and later for Bama/LSU but they usually have much better #'s
Also as i noted in another post FOX just does not pull strong CFB numbers. Never have. So for UT/OU to be that high is impressive.
NC St rescheduled with ECU (were playing VT)
WVU could schedule a game with VT but would have to be week AFTER B12 title game as they could be playing in it.
It's unfortunate the WVU and NC St game was cancelled. That could have helped WVU SOS and the perception of them and the conf as a whole.
If UT is going to make the CFP we need to be cheering hard for the Trojans every week. Especially when they play the Domers.
When i dealt with this in the past i would send them the FBI's # address and random employee name of someone who worked in the building just for the giggles.
