Texas had been FUPM 10 win season teams since 2005 prior to the Fiesta Bowl. We needed that game badly and it set up next year's run. It was over win or lose. So I'll call it a push.
As for the OSU game, Texas loses and there is zero chance OSU with a single lost to PSU and the B1G championship doesn't get in over Texas. So, in effect while earlier in season it was a play off game, against the #3 team (then and at end of season) team that had been second only to USC in domination. With the world as it was then it definitely was a playoff level win against a better opponent at their house that nobody thought Texas would win.
I put that above victory over a good but not great ASU team particularly since the book isn't written on this season yet. That last aspect is why I currently put the OSU victory by Colt ahead of a playoff win. The ASU play will surpass Colts play if we make the Final, imo.
