Pole: What do you think is the bettah MNC formula?

[Lott's Bandana]

The best position to be in when participating in Opinion-Based Sports (NCAA BCS, Gymnastics, Diving, Figure Skating, etc.), is to control your own destiny.

Some folks think OU does better in an underdog situation a la 2000. Others think we can take care of biz from the top.

What do you think?

derp, we need to win first ;)

How can i know the answer before the TCU game?

[Lott's Bandana]

Do I really need that caveat?

[1890MilesToNorman]

It's always better to control your own destiny.

Aren't all sports in the NCAA decided through some sort of committee? I mean, there's a committee of people who decide who makes the postseason in every sport.

I don't think spots matter much. We need to win, no matter what we are ranked. If we keep taking care of business like we have, we will be ranked #1... Sooner or later.

To a degree. However, as you know Tommie, most sports automatically seed conference winners, the committees fill out the rest of the tournaments.

While I really want that #1 ranking so we can break the tie with Notre Dame, I think OU has always done better as the underdog.

Remember 2000? We were #1, but #2 FSU was favored in the Orange Bowl. And we all know how that turned out.
