NCAA Football 09 Simulation: Ohio State 17, Texas 14
Left out of the national title game, Colt McCoy and the Texas Longhorns made the most of their trip to the Fiesta Bowl. They just hope they did enough to impress the pollsters. Now, the only chance for Texas is a split national title, which would have to mean getting voted #1 in the AP Poll. The Coaches Poll must select the winner of the BCS title game as the national champion.
