OU legitimized the BigXII. Everyone talked about the bad defense, of the BigXII and we all preached Great Offenses. OU showed a great offense.
No one thought OU had a good defense, maybe decent at times but that's it.
No one is talking about the BigXII, folding, because of OU.
Was it OU game to lose? Yes but at least we were in the game. We went to OT, we showed the SEC Champ, the BigXII is a real deal conference.

OU’s CFP appearance has jack sh*t to do with whether this conference will survive. And no one’s talking about whether the Big 12 will fold because the season isn’t over, among other things.
The conference survives by being a National Contender!
All I heard last 2 year was how "weak', the BigXII is. OU has know made the playoffs, twice. OU showed the world, the BigXII is a tough National contender. OU getting hammered by Clemson didn't help. Going to OT, against the SEC champ, legitimized the BigXII.
The only reason, the BigXII is a NC contender is because of OU. The only reason the BigXII, is considered a tough conference is because of OU.
For the BigXII, too truly be tough, we need one more team, contending for the NC. TCU and OSU do not bring the "brand". That's where UT comes in.
If both OU and UT, are national players. The BigXII is a complete conference. But right now, OU is carry all of the load and the future of the BigXII
Okay I haz the confuse. Since an SEC will win the NC tonight do all SEC teams consider that a victory for their own team even though their team is not actually playing? It seems like it so I’m not sure how that all works?
Media narrative: SEC is proven to be the superior conference.
Big 10 loses one bowl game.
Media narrative: But all SEC natty?
Look, the SEC has the same objective as every other conference---- to get the value of their tv contract as high as possible-- nothing more. They beat the drum just like anyone else would. Bob (dumb a$$) Bowlsby tried to elevate the big 12 a few years ago by rolling the dice on both baylol and tcu making the playoffs instead of declaring one a champion over the other. It backfired in catastrophic fashion, and devalued the big 12. It was an epic failure. Epic.
Does the SEC do a great job of peddling it's propaganda? Of course they do. Do they shill every chance they get? Damn right they do.
Do they have the coin to back it up? So far. Will this last forever? Nope. Nothing ever does.
I will give props where’s its due and say Saban has done a heck of a job at Bama. The talent he continues to bring in is unreal. Georgia not doing too bad in the recruiting Dept. Either.
OU was prolly one decent LB away to be honest. Not going to mention player names, but one LB in particular literally could have been on the bench and left 10 players on the field and got the same result. OU really needed some of the defensive players UT has recruited the last few years. So UT I suppose shares some credit for OUs suck ass defense in the Rose Bowl. LOL
And I agree, OUs offense got too conservative in the 2nd half, but damn when you put up close to 40 offensive points on an SEC team it should be enough. Giving up that much to an SEC offense was absolutely embarrassing. OU didn't do the Big XII's reputation for shitty defense any favors that game.
Didn't read any of the comments. Just have enough time before work to post an obligatory "Finebaum is a douche."
That is all.
That is all.
OU didn't choke any more than UGA did in the Big Game. Offense went into a shell in the second half against a Class A Defense except for the one great long pass the GA QB made. And Saban shows why he is the best coach by flummoxing the Dogs with the Hawaii kid. Fun to watch. But no one choked. Both teams, in both games, played their hearts out and the losing players had nothing to be ashamed of. Some of the coaches, on the other hand. . . .
Probably is an accurate statement but then again with the resources you guys have what do you call average to below average seasons since 09?
Damn, ellis. Write a more coherent retort next time. I had to read it 3 times. I think I agree with you-Texas has been average at best.
