Oklahoma - Texas Controversy

There is a heated debate along the Red River of whether it should be Oklahoma or Texas who plays Florida in the BCS championship game. Each side has worthy arguments.

Oklahoma: Sam Bradford - 68% completion percentage, 4463 yards passing, and 44 TD passes NCAA record 60 points in 5 straight games
Defeated Big East champ Cincinnati 52-26
Defeated a 10-2 TCU team 35-10
Defeated Texas Tech 65-21 - Texas lost to Texas Tech 39-33

Texas: Colt McCoy - 78% completion percentage, 3445 yards passing, 32 TD passes, 576 rushing yards and 10 TDs rushing
Only loss was a last second TD pass from Graham Harrell to Michael Crabtree at Texas Tech
BEAT OKLAHOMA 45-35 IN DALLAS

We need a playoff where both teams would make it and we wouldn't have this issue. Since that's not going to happen, we've been left with having to choose. It has to be Texas. The Longhorns beat Oklahoma head to head in Dallas. While you can certainly make the argument that Oklahoma is playing better now, the Texas win in October should put them in Miami. Everyone is dazzled with Oklahomas prolific offensive machine, yet are convienently forgetting the 45-35 game. The Oklahoma offense is quite impressive and has put up staggering numbers, but what about the defense? Oklahoma State mustered 24 against Texas, and then 4 weeks later hung 41 on Oklahoma. What was the point of playing each other if the one loss loser could pass up the one loss winner? I'm not a Bevo or Sooner fan so I'm not going to get emotional about it either way, but as a college football fan in general, this is ridiculous. We wouldn't even be having this discussion had Texas safety Drew Gideon not dropped an interception the play before the Crabtree TD. Of course every team has their "if onlys". Texas fans will be talking about "if only's" January 8th when they watch Florida and Oklahoma play for the National Title. A game Texas deserves to be in.
