[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 3353329, member: 3528"] If I remember, the argument at the time around here was that if Texas had lost, more human voters for Texas would have shifted their votes to us than Cincinnati and that would have been enough to overcome the gains that Cincinnati made over us in the computer polls. It was not an opinion really shared outside of TCU fans, and I don't think that it was correct at all, just because that wasn't really the way that things worked at the time. Cinci jumped us in the last ranking, and the only common opponent we had with Texas was both curbstomping Wyoming (so if anything, a Texas loss would have ever-so-slightly hurt us). Really, Texas' loss wouldn't have really "helped" either of us or Cinci outside of just getting them out of the way and turning a #3 vs #4 ranking in to a #2 vs #3 ranking, so the race between us and Cinci would have pretty much been exactly the same whether Texas won or lost.
