College Football: Week Fifteen Picks
This is it, we have reached the final week of the 2008 college football regular season. As always, there is talk of how messed up the BCS system is and how a playoff system would correct the mess with a true national championship. Nevertheless, my condolences to the Texas Longhorn faithful, it's a crime!
The final BCS standings and bowl game announcements will be televised on Sunday. I will be back with Final Standings and a Bowl Game Pick Em' blog in the next few weeks.
Join me in predicting who will win the featured games by posting your list of winners in the comments section of this blog. See if you can be a college football expert in predicting the winning teams. Good luck! Thanks to all those who participated this season!

Texas players may deserve a little sympathy but Mack Brown does not. Just ask Cal fans.
See: Mack's bitching and moaning and begging in 2004, leading to robbery of Cal's deserved Rose Bowl berth.

As for Texas, they aren't more deserving than Oklahoma or Texas Tech since they lost to TT, who lost to Oklahoma. If OU hadn't won the rest of their games after losing to Texas, especially beating Texas Tech, Texas wouldn't have even had the slightest chance of being in the Big XII Championship. Texas Tech would have been in it by virtue of their victory over Texas. OU beat 4 of the current top 14 BCS teams. OU deserves it's ranking.
BOOMER SOONER!!!

Thanks for the comments supporting the Sooners, in now way did I think that Oklahoma was not deserving, they ABSOLUTELY are deserving, my message was empathy to the Longhorn faithful and that the whole BCS system is a mess in my opinion. Nevertheless, good luck to everybody's team, but espcially mine, ha! GO UTES!

Texas is clearly the far superior team over Oklahoma, this year again shows the inadequacies of this wretched system we call the BCS. Hopefully this flaws will be realized and this mockery can end.
