It's the sad affair of college athletics (particularly in Texas):

Say the following is true:
stAte is at 11-0
Texas State is 11-0
SMU/UH/Rice/UTSA is 5-6

if stAte came to San Marcos for the last game, it wouldn't be as well attended as if a Texas team with a losing record came in for the last game.

Even if the mythological stAte/Texas State game was for the conference championship.

Us Texans are a bit of a different breed. Bragging rights over your buddy's school takes precedence over conference championships.

This is true for 95% of schools out there, definitely not a Texas thing.

Yep. Only difference is Texas has about 300 damn schools out there. 8,000, if you count their high schools.

Now, now, TX only has 208 colleges/universities and 3710 high schools. Getting a little out of hand with those numbers there.
