The conspiracy theory on BCS

Calling all BCS swappers.

We’re putting together a conspiracy, but we can’t pull it off without your help.

If you’re one of those voters in the USA Today coaches’ poll or the Harris poll who had Texas ranked ahead of OU last week and then kept the Longhorns ranked ahead of the Sooners after last weekend’s results, good for you. That’s sticking to your guns. Well done.

If you’re one of those voters who had UT ahead of OU and then put the Sooners ahead of the Longhorns after last weekend’s results, hey, that’s your prerogative.

If you’re one of those voters who had OU ahead of UT and then put the Longhorns ahead of the Sooners after last weekend, then you’re the people we’re addressing here today.

If your vote had UT leapfrog OU after last weekend, it means one of two things.

Either it took you an extra week to realize the Longhorns beat the Sooners 45-35 in Dallas, which happened seven weeks earlier; or you thought UT’s 49-9 victory at home against a pitiful Texas A&M team was more meaningful than OU’s 61-41 victory on the road against No. 12-ranked Oklahoma State, a team Texas beat by four points in Austin.

Either way, you’re an idiot, and that puts you in our demographic.

We are targeting those who last week were captured by the spell of Texas coach Mack Brown, an incredibly charming fellow.

I don’t blame Brown for politicking. He stood up for his team.

I do blame voters who fell for it and swapped their votes.

I’m guessing you swappers are pretty angry right now. Texas will have to sit out Saturday’s Big 12 championship game between overrated OU and Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
