If Oklahoma and Texas find themselves in the same situation as last season, who will or who should get the nod for the BCS National Championship game?

Personally, I think Texas should get the nod over the Sooners. Granted, Oklahoma had a great regular season last year and looked to be one of the top two teams in the country. The only regular season hiccup the Sooners had was in the "Red River Rivalry" game against Texas. The two teams finished with the same regular season record, yet Oklahoma got into the national championship game against Florida. How did this happen? Don't ask me.

My question is, if the same scenario played out this year, would Oklahoma still get the nod over Texas? They shouldn't. Oklahoma has been terrible in recent years in BCS games. Since 2002, the Sooners have played in 5 BCS bowl games. Unfortunately, they have lost every single game by a combined score of 191-127. Bob Stoops is a great coach, but instead of his old reputation as "Big Game Bob", he now gets the tab of "Big Game Boob".

The Sooners simply can't win a big-time bowl game, The Longhorns meanwhile, have won their last three BCS bowl games, including a national title in 2005 against highly-touted USC. Texas coach Mack Brown has developed his reputation as a "big game" coach and has shown his ability to win those games in the past. If it comes down to it and the two teams are tied once again, Texas needs to get the invite to the big game. Send Oklahoma to the Holiday Bowl, a game Big Game Boob has shown the ability to win in the past.
