ALL ABOARD!
I like how the talking heads mention that it's just double-digit underdogs from now on for Texas and smooth sailing into Pasadena.
Let's forget for a moment that the BCS hasn't always been kind to the Longhorns, and remember long and hard that one of the toughtest things to do in college football is to go undefeated.
I don't believe Colt McCoy and his pals are going to be looking ahead of Baylor to Kansas, but we all know what looms on the not-too-distant horizon ... and it's not the Big 12 Championship game against some North Division foe with 2 or 3 losses, it's the collision at College Station.
So, that's the obstacle UT has to face now - not looking past what TV commentators would lead you to believe are double-digit patsies. Texas did a pretty good job of avoiding that against UCF, so I'm thinking they'll be focused enough to handle the Bears.
And guess who's hoping the Horns will also be undefeated going into their final regular season game? That's right, the Aggies themselves.
Those farmers want to be the ones who ruin a possible national championship for the Burnt Orange. That's always their big game, and for once, it will be Texas' big game as well.
But Baylor is next, and the Bears appear to have discovered an offense Saturday against Mizzou. The sailing may not be as smooth as some would like you to believe.
Luckily, Colt likes rough waters.
