As it should be - Alabama is better. After witnessing UT/OU - I think UT should drop as well.

Southwest Conference:

3. UT
9. TCU
17. Houston
21. Texas Tech

Arkansas almost beats No. 1 Florida

Damn right UT should drop, but the B(C)S rankings just came out, and UT is comfortably sitting at No. 3, which is ridiculous. The sad thing is that Florida and Bama almost certainly will meet in the SEC title game, and one of them will get passed by the overrated Austin Cows, who looked average-at-best in squeaking by a very shorthanded OU team.

Went to the ut/ou game as well, did the doubleheader thing. Neither offense impressed me, but the defenses were very good. UT probably hangs on and wins the Big 12, even though I would not be surprised if they trip at mizzou or Okie State.

Boise's offense could run circles around UT's offense. Unfortuantely - they would have to be on the field with UT'd D - so that might be an issue. Pretty sure UT could not move the ball vs any of the three teams below them - their O is just not very good.

they might run backwards like OU did about 24 yards. Texas would pound Boise. Might have more difficulty with TCU because TCU can play Defense.

Their defense would pound Boise I agree. The D would have to score a bunch of points - because the UT offense is not impressive. Even Boise could keep them boxed in. Colt can scramble for a first down every now and then - but thats about it. They will be exposed eventually (and I am not a UT hater by the way - i actually like them - just stating my opinion).
