Isu vs Blowu

I mean since it's so rare that a team makes the playoff with 0 losses, Ou is right in the thick of things with 1 loss. Bama will probably be the only undefeated, so what's the 1 loss mean to OU? not much, they just have no margin for error. Must be nice being a texsa fan,knowing before the first game they wont even compete for the big 12 much less a NY6 bowl or a playoff spot. Kind of takes the pressure off of having actual expectations. I know the feeling, I am a 49er fan.
 
Eh, possible. Not all losses are created equal however. If it's a tossup between 1-loss teams for a spot, the one loss being to ISU at home with their MLB playing QB doesn't looks so shiny. Just sayin.
 
Just depends on what the other 1 loss teams did. who their 1 loss is to, and who they defeated along the way. Ohio state remaining a 1 loss contender certainly helps OU. The pac champ will have a bad loss, so will the champ of acc, assuming it's clemson. Too much ball left to be played, too many teams left who will inevitably lose a game they shouldnt lose. But I believe most if not all of the top 15 controls their own destiny by winning out. And of all the 1 loss teams out there fighting for a playoff spot, only 4 of them will have a conference championship, which will further separate them. Assuming bama wins out.
 
True. Of course it's all relative. But OU sits at 9 in the AP right now. You need some help. The Big 10 has 3 teams ahead of you, the ACC 2 and the SEC 2 and then there's TCU. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 1-loss OU team be left out even with a win over TCU seeing as how Georgia is still undefeated. I could see the winner of Clemson/Miami, whoever wins the Big, Bama and Georgia pretty easily.

But it's all speculation at this point. It's the favorite pastime of $ooner fans to argue why you deserve to be in the championship mix after a loss every year so I'm not going to change your minds. I know that much.
 
Unless we all of a sudden inherit some consistent receivers outside of our true freshman, or our receivers decide to really step up I'd just as soon not get a playoff spot

When was the last time we had a champion without 1 loss? In fact, teams with a single loss have historically filled the playoff field. So of course OU is in the playoff mix, right along with just about every other team with 1 or less losses. And if they win out, they have a very good chance of getting in. I doubt sec gets two, especially since one of them will end up with a loss after the ccg. Provided the committee views a 1 loss georgia (if they lose their ccg) the same as a 1 loss OU, then they'd have OU as the big 12 champ in over the sec #2 team. And if osu wins out, OU would have a great win over them. Tcu ought to be a nice win too. Especially if you look at the quality of the sec this year, it's a pretty weak conference outside bama and uga this year.
 
I'm sure you're right. I'm sure losing at home to Iowa St when their MLB was playing QB won't factor in at all.

Like I said, it'll have to play out. I think that loss is ugly enough to keep you out. You don't. Fair enough.
 
It'll be less of a factor than their victory over ohio state. Committee has tended to value who you beat more than who beat you. Not too worried about it, there tends to be separation between the 1 loss teams.
 
All those losses negated each other in that 3 way tie. OU also lost earliest which helped their positioning in the bcs polls, which is what really determined who won the tie breaker.. tx doesnt have to worry about that this year, just finishing above .500 will be a victory in and of itself.
 
didnt hurt a bit that crooked Art Bryles didnt even vote Texas in his top 10 which cost Texas dearly in the computer poll....anyway....that was then
 
If it was a 3-way tie between TX, OU and Iowa St, who would get it this year?
 
Art Briles isn't coaching, can't submarine us in the polls anymore. Neither can Bob.
 
Anyone ever notice that message boards have a slew of whiners. Oh we always get the shit end of the at Texas. Sooner Scoop is all whiners. Get a life or something good gosh. Scholz have a some good actual photos of the dildo protesters. Juggling them wearing them and all kinds of nonsense. Yet you educated geniuses on shaggy draw cartoon dildos. What’s up with that juvenile crap?

Everyone's a critic.
