I've read a lot of posts on this board from people that are angry about Trent not winning the Heisman, some blame SEC bias, some blame the loss to LSU, etc. The fact is that after the Auburn game, the Heisman had been gift-wrapped for Trent, much like it was for RG3 after the Texas game. The fact is, the University of Texas has not only screwed over its own conference, but their bullying had a ripple effect on all of College Football.
After Texas turned the Big 12 into the Little 10, by trying to push out competitive teams like Nebraska and others, they also changed Big 12 schedules to further their agenda. Unlike the Big 10, who had their 1st Championship Game this year and understood they had no business playing Regular Season Games on Championship Weekend. The Big 12/Texas said they wanted to "stay relevant" in the National Title Discussion by moving regular season games to the Final Weekend of College Football even though they abolished their Championship game to make their path to the Title Game that much easier (for Texas). Well, it worked.
Bama had the #2 spot in the Title Game locked up and Trent had the Heisman locked up after the Auburn game. Oklahoma State was out of the race for #2 and RG3 had been relegated to a runner up position in the Heisman. BUT, because of this unfair schedule change which allowed Big 12 teams to play on a weekend where everyone else not in a Championship Game was home sitting on their couch, everything changed. In a move instigated by Texas, Oklahoma State almost took Bama out of the Title Game and RG3 did take Trent out of the Heisman.
I think this is complete BS and the Big 12 should either get 12 teams or change their schedule back to reflect the rest of the country. However, Texas makes the rules in the Big 12 and this is how they want it, so this is how it is. The University of Texas screwed Trent out of the Heisman and almost screwed Bama out of the Title Game. Not to mention they looked like a girls school when they played Baylor, locking up the trophy for RG3.
If you are angry, direct your anger to Texas. I live here and have to put up with their arrogant fans all the time... I take great enjoyment of them being 12-12 since they played Bama in 2009. I like to think we are the reason their program is in the toilet, but I know it's because Mack Brown can't coach... However, if you are looking for a program to hate that's not a Rival, look no further than the University of Texas. They have now moved on to putting the screws to everyone...
