Texas fans, don't fret II
Because your national championship may still be coming.
What few people talked about today was the AP top 25.
In the poll, Alabama is No. 1, Florida No. 2, and Texas (not OU) No. 3.
What some may not realize is that the AP is not part of the BCS, picks its own national champion at the end of the year and is not guaranteed to go with the team that wins the BCS title game.
So on the the idea that OU goes to the title game and beats the winner of the SEC title game (probably Florida, but it really doesn't matter) and Texas wins its bowl game (probably over the SEC runner-up) then it is conceivable that Texas could win the AP title while OU wins the BCS trophy.
I say this because there are AP voters who feel Texas' neutral site victory means something and this would be their way to reward Texas for that win in October (and that the same time stick it to the BCS).
I could be way off but stayed tuned.

Other possible scenarios:
1. Missouri beats Oklahoma, Texas heads to BCS National Championship.
2. Another scenario has Florida beating Alabama unimpressively in the SEC title game, and so, being unable to leap-frog the Horns in the BCS, setting up a Texas-Oklahoma BCS title game.
