Most observers have Oklahoma headed for the BCS national title game and Texas as a likely BCS at-large participant in the Fiesta Bowl in most projections.

But the blogspace bcsguru.blogspot.com mentions today that there remains an outside chance that Texas and Oklahoma could hook up in the BCS national title game in Miami, Fla.

BCS Guru mentions there's even about a 5 percent chance that Oklahoma could be jumped by Texas even if it wins the Big 12 title game.

If that was to happen, voters might compare that victory against Texas' 56-31 triumph of Missouri earlier this season and give the Longhorns the nod.

But that's nothing should Florida get left out of the BCS title game even after beating Alabama for the SEC championship.

BCS Guru says that could happen if the Gators finish behind Texas and Oklahoma in the final BCS poll.

At this point, the Gators are not guaranteed anything -- other than a BCS bowl berth -- if they win the SEC title game. If they finish No. 1 in both the coaches' and Harris polls and receive the majority of the first-place votes, then they likely are headed to Miami as a BCS title game participant. But if Florida finishes third in both polls, it could be very tough.

A win over the Tide would help the Gators' computer rankings, but it's unlikely to put them ahead of either Texas or Oklahoma in the computer scores. So if the voters split their votes three ways among Texas, Oklahoma and Florida, then the Gators could be the odd team out.

It would result in the first time that Texas and Oklahoma have played more than once in the same season since 1903 -- the second and third games of the bitter football feud.

And how much bigger would the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry be with national title implications? Particularly after the controversy of the "45-35" campaign by Texas students and the BCS standings that resulted in Oklahoma's Big 12 title game appearance on Sunday.

I think it would be delicious.

But Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said a second game this season wouldn't make the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry much bigger.

"It can't be much more than it is, can it?," Stoops said.
