That's correct, the 1V8 result would have given Texas the team championship regardless of the V4 finish.  You can think of the V4 result along the lines of Jordan Williamson's missed Fiesta Bowl FG...unexpected, but part of the sport.  Second place is still a remarkable finish, especially ahead of proven talent from Tennessee and upstart Virginia.
