If OSU hadn't lost to ISU so late in the season, I think they would jump Alabama. If they beat Oklahoma, it will be close. Especially if they beat them soundly. If they were to beat a top 5 Oklahoma, OSU jumps Bama. Not sure how beating #10 will work out. Plus, at this point, OSU only has 10 wins when the computer sees it right now, so things could change quite a bit if they beat Oklahoma. If they don't beat Oklahoma? Well, it's not so controversial then. No other 1 loss team has a better SOS than Bama. If you're going to say Houston, who is undefeated, well their SOS is damn near at the bottom of the barrel. The only ranked team they play this season will be Southern Miss on Saturday.As much as I argued that Oregon had the better record than Bama if we were looking for a rematch just as they let USC slip through their fingers, I'm gonna STFU about Oklahoma State. But until OSU loses to OU, they should be #2.
Weird as hell how everything worked out this season. According to some places, even if LSU lost to UGA, they would only slide down to #2 and would still be in the BCSNCG.
Unfortunately the other thing that hurts OSU is the fact that the loss was to 6-5 ISU.
The point will be mute when Oklahoma whips that ass on Saturday anyway...
Oklahoma StateOSU has only played 3 opponents who were ranked when the two teams played. Oklahoma will be the fourth when they play. You will get credit down the line for strength of schedule for playing a team that was unranked but later became ranked, but you're not going to get credit for beating that team at the rank they are at the end of the season.....if that makes sense. With all of these accolades, they still lost to ISU later in the season than Alabama lost to a #1 LSU. Apparently, that means something with the system we have. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if OSU jumped us either way. When you're a 1 loss team, beggers can't be choosers.
11-1 (assuming they beat Oklahoma)
Big 12 Champions
#7 Strength of Schedule
5 wins over FBS teams with winning records
5 wins over top 25 teams
Unfortunately the other thing that hurts OSU is the fact that the loss was to 6-5 ISU.And like I said before, at this point, they only have 10 wins as opposed to other teams who have 11. Those two things are probably why they are behind Alabama at this point where the computers are concerned.
Yeah, Oklahoma is going to rape them over the coals on Saturday.
You know what sucks the most?
Alabama will win the rematch.
Yeah, Oklahoma is going to rape them over the coals on Saturday.
It will be a conceited effort.
Even with all the rumor and innyourwindow out there about Richardson and his Yukon.
