Well, the Longhorns won last night on a last minute drive. Colt McCoy proved he is a clutch player once again. And he should be a leading contender in the Heisman race next year. But it didn't mean anything this year. It wasn't enough. It pisses me off that my team won, again, and I'm not happy. My team won it's last game in a thrilling game and not only does it not matter. It might have dropped them from the No. 2 spot. USC and Utah made strong cases for themselves to be ranked above Texas by outclassing Penn State and Alabama respectively.
You might call me a spoiled Texas fan. But why shouldn't I want to strive for a National Championship. Isn't that what sports is all about? It's not winning bowl games. It shouldn't be about margin of victory. It should be about winning. Period. If last night's game was a playoff game. How happy is Texas nation right now? Advancing to a semi final round. Depending on the number of teams in the field, obviously. But instead, I don't even care. Wopty do. We beat Ohio State. And we're probably staying at No.3 or dropping lower. Excellent.
I know some of you are getting tired of the ranting and the pissing about a playoff system. I'm preaching to the choir for the most part. I just don't understand why you are still watching.

Empty Bowl

Texas vs Ohio State
I'm still not watching tonight's Fiesta Bowl but it might gain the Longhorns an AP National Championship. I doubt it though. Even if the Longhorns destroy the Buckeyes, I think it'll convince more people that the Big Ten has fallen even further than originally thought. Therefore, it won't convince enough of the AP that the Longhorns are the best team in the nation. Even if Oklahoma wins.
Who knows? Do I really want to win a championship that way anyway? Well, sure it'll help but isn't it a little stupid to win a championship that way. Waiting for someone else's game to finish and hoping and praying it's enough in someone's objective eyes that you're good enough. Good lord college football needs a playoff system. This is way too political. Well, Texas gained 2 points in the poll tonight. Are you kidding me? Although, it does give me something to blog about.
