Make sure the hurdles are cleared before you start shaking the champagne. Remember the 2001 Big XII championship that was supposed to be the Oklahoma-Nebraska rematch? Oklahoma State and Colorado decided "I DON'T THINK SO!" and ruined a lot of peoples' travel plans.
For Texas, everyone is a hurdle, except for Rice and Baylor. Kansas State isn't going to be easy, and immediately following it up with Oklahoma will only make it worse. Nebraska may be completely back from Purgatory by November, and Oklahoma State will have their shit together by then too. Texas Tech will give everyone fits this year. Playing Iowa State there won't be easy, this may be their "bowl" game.
From October 4 to November 22, eight teams in 8 weeks with only 1 patsy. Texas might be doing good to clear it 5-3 or 6-2, either of which would be virtual elimination from the National Championship.
