Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 2801579, member: 2651"] yards per game does not account for pace. Look at yards per play or some other rate adjusted metric for a more accurate picture of quality. Even that doesn't account for differences in conference. FWIW, OSU gave up 28 to TCU and Oklahoma gave up 27. OSU's defensive numbers are skewed by facing just putrid offenses in Rutgers, Michigan St., and Tulane (gave up 3, 6, and 6 - though to be fair Tulane is more middling than putrid). Oklahoma's only loss is to a ranked Texas team on a last second field goal, and they have a chance to avenge that loss. OSU got crushed by a 6-6 Purdue team. I have no problem with Oklahoma being ahead of OSU. If Oklahoma beats Texas, they deserve to be in. [/QUOTE]
