    Live Blog: Brad Edwards...espn

    linky: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=23879

    Just posed this Q: Why does head to head matter to most in a three way tie and not in a two way tie: for instance if OU looses, then Tech won the head to head vs UT.
    Conversely, why should the BCS matter in the event of a two way tie where TT won vs. UT but UT would go to the CCG, whereas, there seems to be a problem with OU winning the threeway tiebreaker BECAUSE of the BCS?

    I doubt I get a reply though.

    I love this exchange...

    Dave (Austin): Any idea who gave OU the two first-place votes in the coaches poll?

    Brad Edwards: (12:48 PM ET ) Nobody knows how the coaches voted this week. But you need to realize that OU had four first-place votes in the coaches' poll the previous week and lost two of them after winning a road game by 20 points against the No. 11 team in the nation. What makes less sense is why Texas suddenly got a first-place vote in the Harris poll after the win over A&M. Texas has looked that good ever since the loss to Tech. Why wait until this week to vote them No. 1 for the first time? Hmmm
    “It never changes. Football is a game of repetition, mental and physical. You may try to articulate it a little different, but it's the same thing: Get better players, make fewer mistakes, and drill the fundamentals into your players' heads. The rest of it is a joke. Teams aren't winning because of what they had for breakfast or what some coach said in the locker room.” - Barry Switzer

    Dave (Austin): Does Texas have a shot at keeping the number two slot in the AP poll after next week's games? More importantly, could they move up to number one if OU wins the BCS championship?
    oh boy, here goes that split national title crap. I wonder if UT would make ANOTHER fake crystal ball if this happens.

    He'll probably reply at least to point out that you don't even know how to spell "loses".

    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.
