| (For fans of the late, great Southwest Conference . . . final standings determined by Jeff Sagarin's computer ratings) The Arkansas Razorbacks ended the Texas Longhorns' years-long streak as Southwest Conference champions as the season ended December 2nd. TCU's Horned Frogs continued their rise, finishing third for the first time in many years. It was a good year for the conference from top to bottom. Only one team, the Baylor Bears, ended with a losing record. All but Baylor were bowl eligible. All those bowl eligible with the exception of the SMU Mustangs will be playing in the post-season, including the Rice Owls, who gained their first bowl berth since 1961. Final standings with Sagarin's ratings in parentheses were: Arkansas (86.54) Texas (84.85) TCU (78.89) Texas A&M (78.47) Texas Tech (75.47) Houston (74.17) Rice (69.94) Baylor (66.17) SMU (64.75) |
