Sitting down here in Houston enjoying the conclusion of the Cotton Bowl on TV. Nice see an old friend again, the UT football team that folds up under adversity! I missed that team and it was so fun to see it return tonight in a big way! And I love it that there will be no SEC teams in this year's national championship game!

Ohio St laying the wood to Texas in their own state. Hate to see it... (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - $EC)

That said... ND vs OSU for the title - woof.
4th place team from the B1G making the CFP NC Game does NOTHING for the Big XII. Short sighted goals my man.

First year of the SEC not being gifted 2 of 4 playoff spots purely based on perception and instead teams having to actually earn it, and 0 SEC teams playing for the championship.

I'm not saying Arizona State would have beaten Ohio State, but they had maybe as good a chance as Texas.

Oh, and btw, Horns Down!

We’ll be lucky if OSU doesn’t beat ND by 3 or more TDs

You have to wonder if the SEC powers start to rethink their support of uncapped player compensation

No wonder Sankey wants to rush to get 4 autos. Saban is gone. And gone are the days of the SEC stockpiling talent because they pay the most or the player wants to stay home

Why? The 4th Place Team from the B1G making it to the CFP National Championship Game does not help the Big XII cause. Go Irish!

Why? **** Texas, that's why. If they and ESPN had their way they would have destroyed the Big 12 completely to get out of paying the exit fee and ISU would have played in the AAC. They can EABOD. As much as I hate OSU I'll cheer for them over Texas 100% of the time.

Every cyclone fan that posted about cheering for Texas tonight should get a ban from the forum. Truly unacceptable behavior.

Well, Texas didn't destroy the Big XII. Quite the contrary actually. B1G is a much bigger threat to ISU IMO (especially with TOE in Eastern Iowa and ISU surrounded by B!G progams).

Will not give a dumb, disagree, etc. but Ohio State winning from the B1G is worse than Texas winning from the SEC for ISU IMO. It is just bitter grapes but not RealPolitik IMO.

ISU athletics could have literally gone bye bye thanks to Texas and their attempt at destroying our conference multiple. Feel free to go back and dumb my previous post. I stand by that an ISU fan cheering for Texas is absolutely unacceptable.

I was't cheering for Texas from the SEC. I was cheering against Ohio State from the B1G which is a bigger threat to ISU. Look forward. Not backward.
