This is it for the Texas Longhorns, the chance they've been waiting for since last December.
ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) -- There are no tiebreakers or computer formulas in their way.
All Colt McCoy and the No. 3 Longhorns have to do is beat No. 21 Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game Saturday night and they will be playing for the national championship.
Texas coach Mack Brown spent the past 12 months reminding his players they were spit out by the system last year. He challenged them to "take it away from the system" by winning all their games and, so far, they have.
Do it once more and the Longhorns (12-0) will clinch a spot in the BCS championship game Jan. 7 against the winner of the SEC championship game between No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Alabama.
