Only powerhouse Texas A&M, which is on NCAA proba tion, Southern Methodist and Houston won’t receive champi onship rings this year. Texas Tech, Rice, Texas, Bay lor and Texas Christian gave it their best shot, but ended up tied for the league title at 4-3. The logjam marks the first time in the SWC’s 80-year history more than three teams have shared the title. It’s also the first time an SWC champion has had more than two league losses. Tech (6-5) will go to the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1939 because it has been away from the postseason game in Dallas longer than the other fourco champions. Tech becomes only the fifth SWC team to qualify for the Cotton Bowl with six regular season victories or fewer. The Texas Longhorns en tered the year as the clear fa vorite to win the title in the ab sence of the Aggies. But losses to Rice, Texas Tech and A&M dashed those hopes and left coach John Mackovic barely clinging to his job. Rice then appeared to be in the driver’s seat but lost to Bay lor, which looked good until los ing to Texas Tech, which could have won the league title out right if it hadn’t lost to TCU. Although Tech is headed to the Cotton Bowl, TCU, Baylor and Texas have better overall records, all at 7-4. Rice, which beat Houston 31-13 on Satur day, finished 5-6. Texas is headed to the Sun Bowl, while Baylor likely is headed to the Alamo Bowl and TCU to the Independence Bowl. Perhaps the epitome of the topsy-turvy year came on Oct. 29, when the Aggies (10-0-1, 6-0-1 SWC) suffered a tie against SMU (1-9-1, 0-6-1), the only team not to win a conference game. With the SWC scheduled to disband after next season and the Aggies free from NCAA sanctions in 1995, it appears this may have been a one-time promotion of parity.

The Oilers’ only touchdown — on a 1-yard run by Lorenzo White — was set up by Todd McNair’s 44- yard kickoff return to mid- field in the second quarter.

Despite the injection of Grant’s playoff knowledge, experience is the only way the rest of the Magic will learn to survive in the NBA’s “second season”.
