Oklahoma vs. Texas game...

[OburgOrange]

If Texas wins and earns the automatic Sugar Bowl bid, then Oklahoma's national ranking would almost certainly ensure it a Fiesta or Peach Bowl bid. Both of those outcomes are bad.

The ideal outcome for Syracuse is for Oklahoma to win the Big XII title but fail to make the College Football Playoff.

Great. Okie playing brutal right now

9-3, top 20 this all makes 0 sense if don’t get where we want. Yes politics are dumb shouldn’t matter

Yup. So far this game is going PERFECTLY for Syracuse. We want a close Oklahoma win followed by Ohio St. trouncing Northwestern.

Yep or if Georgia can pull off the win. Can’t count on Bama losing however. Of course there is all this hand wringing all because American Gigolo down in NC wrote an article

I could start a spreadsheet or set up a table, some charts and a calculator with a gallon of coffee. Or just wait for Alsacs to explain what could happen and what team to root for.

Kinda drives me nuts that an offensive powerhouse like OK wouldn't go for 2 when down 12-14 in Q2. I think the old math of not going for 2 until Q4 is just that, old, stupid thinking. Even the top offensive NFL teams are now looking to tie the game up there.

I could see some offensively challenged teams kicking, but honestly, I can't think of any team more well suited to get 2 yards then OK with Kyler Murray.

Davante Davis ... Sigh

Between him and Marquis Blair last night (Utah)

What could have been the past few years

Made a great hit to stop a first down.

Probably Mcdonald’s best recruit even though he didn’t stick. McDonald was an annoying child that was definitely overrated as a recruiter but he did add a couple of nice pieces in Brisly and Ishmael and Davis would have been All ACC imo if he stayed with us. 4 year starter at Texas.

Quite a catch...

Good game. Texas has some absolute monsters on the field at WR/S/DL. I posted once about this before but during the UT-USC game an interesting comment was said. Brock Huard was poking around the sidelines before the game during warmups. A ton of NFL personnel and scouts were there. He said that the consensus was that Texas has the most physically imposing players and biggest guys on their roster next to Alabama.

My goodness these defenses are just terrible. If somehow OU wins this game are they really the 4th best team in the country. If Geo loses to Ala I would put Geo in over them even though they have 2 losses. Geo is so much better than OU and The OSU.

Oklahoma’s is. Texas putting in a great effort to keep this score where it is.

Uh...Texas already beat OU this year...

OU would have a bunch more losses if they were in the SEC or ACC.
This conference is the No-D league.

I’m aware. I thought they would win today. I meant to keep OU in that range scoring. They are a good defense though unlike OUs. In that conference to give up only 25ppg (51st nationally) and 61st in Total Defense (ahead of even a Boston College) is good. I was addressing whoever wrote Texas’s D is bad because they are in the B12. That’s baloney. They held USC to -5 yds rushing.

Ah...I capeesh...the way you wrote it, it appeared that you were saying that it was a struggle for Texas to keep the game close...

I now also see the post to which you responded...missed that originally...

All good brother. I just like Herman and how he has turned it around there. They have some BIG boys too.

I would love to see Oklahoma win and UGA win to see what the NCAA does with Bama. They're not stupid...they'd put them at 4 but would they leave OU out?

Bama will get moved to 4th uga 2nd. Bama Clemson nd vs uga

I like seeing the Texas Fr RB Ingram get some run. Last year when Ingram was wavering on his decision Texas started sniffing around J. Jordan. Which in my opinion solidifies how good Jordan is.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sooners. Sharpie.

 

[djorange1989]

I wonder, barring an absolute destruction, if Ohio State can jump OU. OUs defense was so horrible down the stretch this year but looked really solid today. Might be enough for the committee to keep them ahead. Probably need a Georgia win to keep them out unless Ohio State pulls a 59-0 type win like they did against Wisconsin a few years ago

 

[AlexDaCuse]

Uh Mr. Riley your D stinks and you ain't winning no ship with that D. I hope Alabama buries you and puts you out of your misery.
Riley: Sooners 'playoff-worthy,' could win it all
