BCS disrupted as Texas Longhorns win in the Cotton Bowl
(Dallas, TX) In yet another defeat of a number one ranked team, the Oklahoma Sooners fell to the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl. So far in the 2008-2009 Bowl Championship Series (BCS), there have been 2 major upsets. Oklahoma has followed USC, when they lost to Oregon State two weeks ago.
John G. Peters, President of Northern Illinois University and a member of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, commented upon the Sooners loss, “I mean really. What are these teams trying to do? Fuck up the whole BCS for everyone? Hey I’ll be the first to admit that the whole formula is a little complicated to explain, but when number 1 teams keep losing, it really screws things up. If it keeps going like this, we’ll see Ball State ranked number 1 before too long.”
In the long 103 game history of this rivalry, never before in their history have the two teams combined to score this many points, 80. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, who lead the Longhorns to a victory with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, said “Oh man, now the pressure is on us. We’ve got Missouri next week, and I can see us fucking up the whole thing.” When asked about a potential loss by Texas when they host Missouri, Peters added, “Those little shits had better bring their A game. We don’t want any more disruption this early in the season. I mean can you imagine if this keeps up, we’ll have Texas Tech playing Utah for the championship, that would really suck. It would kill ratings.”
