Question: What is better for us? For Texas Tech to win, or Oklahoma?
If Texas Tech wins, obviously they stay ahead of us. If Oklahoma wins, do they jump us? I am leaning toward thinking that it might be better not to have an undefeated TT team in front of us, even if Oklahoma might jump over us in the BCS, but I am not sure. Also, if Oklahoma were to jump us, there would be an even stronger argument that Texas should be ranked ahead of us as well, since Texas beat Oklahoma. Assuming we win out and beat Alabama, are we guaranteed a spot in the BCSCG, or just almost assuredly guaranteed a spot? Let's not take anything for granted. Also, if we do make it, who would we rather play? What is our best-case scenario? Anyway, not that it matters, but I am looking for guidance on who to root for this Saturday. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

I figure we'll lose points this week with the Citadel and needed that jump. Well, maybe we'll jump when we beat f$u.
