I think Texas had to have been tired from having played Oklahoma, Missouri, Ok State, and Tech back to back. That's a tough stretch. They've got Baylor, Kansas, and A&M left on their schedule. Should be 3 more wins on their slate, though Kansas may give them a bit of a game. They should finish 11-1.
Tech has a two tough games coming up - Ok State then Oklahoma. If they come out of that with two wins, they'd have to be a contender for the title game, regardless of whoever else is still standing, I'd almost think.
Funny thing about Tech is how everyone has proclaimed Mike Leach to be some offensive genius, and yet he's really only running the old 80's Run & Shoot offense basically. They just do it well.
