I wouldn't be surprised if Texas has less trouble with OK St. than Oklahoma did; Texas is the best team in the Big 12, but they have a mental hangup with Oklahoma that's eerily reminiscent of Cooper's Ohio State teams (which often could beat anyone except Michigan). * The 16-team in basketball/8-team in football "New Big East" is a temporary arrangement that will almost certainly break up in 5 years when all the teams have been together long enough that the NCAA will give both confrences formed out of the split guaranteed bids to the basketball tournament. At that point, the football schools will add another team (9 teams make scheduling a lot easier than 8). If this were to happen today, that team would almost certainly be Memphis. Syracuse, Pitt, L'Ville, Cinci, UConn, Rutgers, West Virginia, South Florida, and Memphis looks like a northern version of the old ACC -- amazing basketball, but a shaky football conference dominated by one school.</blockquote>
