ARLINGTON, Texas — Oklahoma State did not make a lot sense this season.

Advanced stats hated the Cowboys, so did some conventional ones, but, they in some way discovered a technique to win 9 video games and attain the Big 12 Championship Game.

On Saturday, their, name it luck, caught as much as them. Texas whooped OSU 49-21 for the convention title. Here are some grades from a not-so aggressive championship recreation.

Halftime Dr. Pepper tuition giveaway contest: A

A practice of championship weekend is the halftime recreation between two college students to compete to get their tuition paid for. Oh, faculty soccer. Using college students’ monetary woes as leisure.

The recreation is straightforward: throw extra footballs right into a goal 5 yards away in a sure time restrict. At halftime of the Big 12 Championship Game, the 2 contestants, Ryan and Gavin, competed in a better race than the soccer recreation on the sphere.

It went to double extra time after two back-and-forth rounds, advancing to a first-to-make-wins. Gavin missed his first try, and Ryan took benefit, sinking his first, successful his faculty cost.

The prime athletes’ class is not an A+, as every chest handed. It’s a method that’s tried and examined, however is not revered.

Texas’ College Football Playoff case: B

The Big 12 Championship Game ended simply in time for Texas to have fun, then start watching the SEC Championship Game as Alabama followers.

The Longhorns are on the skin of the playoffs because the No. 7 workforce, however their probability is getting higher. No. 5 Oregon misplaced to No. 3 Washington on Friday, and No. 6 Ohio State is and not using a convention championship win. Washington is, with out large controversy, within the playoffs.

No. 2 Michigan performs Iowa, in a recreation the Wolverines are heavy favorites and with a win are all however within the playoffs. No. 3 Florida State performs Louisville for the ACC crown with out its beginning quarterback, and probably its backup. That leaves No. 1 Georgia towards No. 8 Alabama.

Texas beat the Tide in Tuscaloosa in Week 2, a win that UT coach Steve Sarkisian mentioned is what helped his workforce probably the most this season. If Alabama holds its 17-7 lead at halftime towards the No. 1 workforce, and Florida State loses, Texas is all however in. Even if FSU wins, Texas’ win vs Alabama earlier within the 12 months needs to be sufficient for the committee to resolve who the higher workforce is and who would get the final spot.

But if there’s one factor we have discovered, the committee generally would not make sense.

The precise recreation itself: D

If you are a Texas fan, Saturday was probably the most effective days to root for the Longhorns within the final decade. As a impartial social gathering, although, the sport was fairly boring.

The Longhorns offense stomped OSU’s protection, setting a document for yards in a Big 12 Championship Game. The Cowboys offense could not match. There wasn’t even an Ollie Gordon II present, as he totaled simply 88 yards from scrimmage.

Texas defensive sort out T’Vondre Sweat scored a receiving landing and there have been spotlight performs from Texas’ exterior playmakers, however apart from that, the sport wasn’t shut and will have been turned off shortly after halftime.

Unless you are a giant Texas, Nelly or WWE fan, attendance wasn’t necessary.
