...and that looks pretty darn good to me.


We still have our shot at #6 and #8

[tommieharris91]

I didn't realize the pokes would be that close to USC. I'm not sure who of those two are better, though.

[Big Red Ron]

I see a Bama loss and a PSU loss on the horizon. We don't even have to play in the Bib XII championship if we and UT win out. REMATCH

[DallasSooner87]

It is very possible two "BCS busters" could finish in the top 12 giving them automatic bids, and causing chaos in the system.:pop:

[SoonerStormchaser]

Looks ok to me...

[Big Red Ron]

Looks to me like we could even jump and undefeated PSU if we win out because of their pathetic conference and schedule.

[Bosley]

I'm surprised how close 3 and 4 are. If PSU or Bama struggle in another game int he future we could jump one of both of them. The voters must have a lot of confidence in the big 12.

[OUmillenium]

I think an OU texass rematch would be awesome!

[Dan Thompson]

JUST WIN BABY!

[bri]

lol big 10

[Bosley]

Imagine the fit the SEC would have if two big 12 schools went to the NC.

I wonder how many schools presidents would start to lobby for that pesky playoff system they've been against for so long.

[JLEW1818]

I'm really surprised we landed at number 4. Don't get me wrong, I think that is where we need to be. Wow ..... we have a chance guys............

Like I said we need to win and win big these next 3 weeks.

[yermom]

suck it, coaches

i guess it didn't hurt that the Sand Aggies were trying to lose to the real Aggies

[OklahomaTuba]

Hope the aggots enjoy their last week in the BCS top 10.

[JLEW1818]

We just need to win, the other crap will take care of itself.

If that happens, only one gets an automatic bid. That's the rule. They had a very long discussion about that last night on Sporting News Radio.


The funny part is that nowhere does it say that the higher ranked of the two gets the bid. :texan:

The ACC should give up their auto-bid if that happens. Is it possible that 2 unranked ACC teams play for their championship?

[bcgvh]

Alabama and Penn State could both lose, but remember, that a 1 loss SEC champ will probably jump us at the end of the season. We would be idle and 2 highly ranked SEC teams would be playing each other. We REALLY need to get into the Big 12 Championship.

[Whet]

Penn State at Ohio State next week!

[IronHorseSooner]

Unless they all have 2 losses:

'Bama- @ LSU, SEC CCG
LSU- @ UGA
UGA- FLA or GA TECH
FLA- UGA or FSU (@ Tallahassee)

We get in over any 1-loss teams from ACC, Big 10, Big East, or PAC 10 (to include SUC), or over any non-BCS undefeateds. The only way we are screwed is if two 1-loss SEC teams play for the title.

[ousooners182]

Here is what CFN said about us in the BCS:



4. Oklahoma Score: 0.8319
The Sooners are hosed. Oh sure, the BCS might have then hovering around the coveted second spot, and if Penn State loses to Ohio State next week and if Alabama loses at LSU in a few weeks, then OU might even move up to the No. 2 ranking. However, Texas needs to lose twice for the Sooners to play in the Big 12 title game, and time is starting to run out. Worse yet, pollsters are loathe to put a team that didn't even win its own division into the national title game.

Why? I don't think so. The B12 is stong this year

[JLEW1818]

what we would want to happen is have a 1 loss bama , or 1 loss lsu playing against a 2 loss florida or 2 loss Georgia, and obviously we would want the east team to win.

[lloyd45]

I don't see Florida losing another game they play this year.

[josh09]

Guys, if we beat #'s 6 and 8, and we win out, i honestly can see the BCS putting us in the national championship game, even if texas wins out as well. That win over #14 TCU looks pretty awesome too.

[josh09]

Oh, and im very surprised that Floridas only #10. I like the way things look.

Technically, we will have tied for the division, and before the Texas fans get up in arms take a look in Chrissy's jewlery box for the Big XII south co-champ rings Mack had made a few years back. ;)

[TMcGee86]

...and that looks pretty darn good to me.


We still have our shot at #6 and #8

Here's the problem though, we don't play those teams till the last two weeks of the season.

Both will have not only played Texas by then, but will have played each other as well.

i.e. no chance either will be ranked as high as they are now. Best case scenario is something crazy happens and OSU runs the table. Then maybe they are #1 when we play them at the end of the season, and we beat them.

Of course, Texas still has to lose twice, assuming we dont get a rematch in the title game, which I just dont see happening.

[JLEW1818]

Oh, and im very surprised that Floridas only #10. I like the way things look.

ole miss loss killed them

[badger]

KOR-ECK-SHUN:

Texas does NOT have to lose twice.

(Reminder: I am well aware that we lost to Texas, but let me assure you that I really, REALLY wish Texas would lose repeatedly so I can add snide remarks to my forced avatar/sig for the next two months)

Texas needs to lose... ONCE.

It is a given that we need to win, no question, but I am quite surprised that nobody has pointed out the mere fact that Texas does not need to lose twice for us to go to the Big 12 Championship. Rather, we need to win out and just beat the singular opponent that Texas beats.

For example now...

Poke State waves their wheat right to victory lane against Texas.

RAGEEE!!!!1!!! Texas drops to No. 5 or so and below us. Further RAGE!!!1! from whornfans.com

Then, we win out, as we must and beat Poke State.

We now sit above OSU and Texas in the polls. By Big 12 default rules when three teams are tied for Big 12 South (or North) supremacy, the team with the highest poll position goes.

(Note: I am well aware that there are other factors, all the way down to flipping the loser coin, but let's face it - this is the most likely scenario)

So, there you have it. Texas needs to lose ONCE. ONE time.

:D And don't let that season run out on ya now, poll "experts" :D

[JLEW1818]

I think Tech has a better chance to beat ut then the pokes.

[lloyd45]

Guys, if we beat #'s 6 and 8, and we win out, i honestly can see the BCS putting us in the national championship game, even if texas wins out as well. That win over #14 TCU looks pretty awesome too.

i lol'd

[BoulderSooner79]

We don't have long to wait to find out. But I see the horns sending the pokes back to Stillwater cryin' for their mamas. They won't fold shop as quickly as MU did, but this UT team means bidnes.

[JLEW1818]

UT's best chance to lose is @ tech, or at @ Kansas

[TMcGee86]

UT's best chance to lose is @ tech, or at @ Kansas

lol, only a true sooner fan would post this. ;)

Tech has looked like crap the past two weeks.

And as much as it pains me to say this, OSU is the most balanced offense in the big 12 right now.

They imho have the best shot to upset UT. Tech will be lucky to stay within 5 tds of Texas right now.

[okiewaker]

UT's best chance to lose is @ tech, or at @ Kansas


Yeah, hopefully they lose both!!

[JLEW1818]

No way, the game will be in Lubbock, and I bet they will make it a night game just like they did us last year.

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

If we win out and our last game is a win in Stillwater against a team that has only lost @Texas then we have a decent chance against even a 1-loss SEC team. Why? Because I think it is conceivable that prior to the SEC championship we are #2 in the polls. Say Florida wins and they jump us but not by much to take #2 in the human polls...but in the computer polls they are 4th or enough of a margin behind that OU finishes #2 in the BCS.

Pollsters would have to decide that OU after losing a hard fought game at Texas (where there were a few questionable calls...I'm not saying that is why OU lost but a factor and the loss of RR at the worst possible time) and since runs the table winning at a top 10-12 team in Stillwater...those pollsters would have to decide that OU should fall from #2 to #4 in the polls. That would be unprecidented.

I'm still much more worried about the winning out part than I am about what happens if we do.

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

BTW the same applies if Texas lost in the Big 12 title game.

Even if Texas only fell to #2 in the polls and OU was bumped to #3 the polls would be close because of WHEN Texas loses and OU would probably be higher in the computer rankings.

None of this would very likely if we were 7th or 8th in the BCS right now. From #4 it is very possible.

[JLEW1818]

We want a 2 loss SEC team to win the sec ship!!! I think it could happen .

[Big Red Ron]

This sucks.

Let's just pray the Texas loses twice.
PEOPLE< TEXAS WINS OUT< WE WIN OUT and there will be a rematch. No wat PSU beats luckeye and no way bama stays undefeated.

We don't need anything from texas but to win.

[Big Red Ron]

No one loss sec team will jump a one loss OU. It. Wont. Happen.

[JLEW1818]

Any chance we get in over an undefeated penn state team?

[Big Red Ron]

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

Any chance we get in over a undefeated big 10 team?

Don't think so. Penn St wins out and they get smashed by Texas.

I'd love to play an undefeated Penn St team though.

[JLEW1818]

That's right Ron, lets hope it is snowing during the big 12 ship. it could happen.

[Big Red Ron]

Any chance we get in over an undefeated penn state team?
It's close. I doubt it but if texas and Bama lose towards the end of the season and we stay a one loss team, it could be us and PSU.

[JLEW1818]

Don't think so. Penn St wins out and they get smashed by Texas.

I'd think so too, any chance the voters think other wise if we kill everybody left?

[TMcGee86]

No way, the game will be in Lubbock, and I bet they will make it a night game just like they did us last year.

I just dont see it. Nebbish had no problem in lubbock. And ut has the added motivation of knowing that if they win that game, the season is basically over.

I think OSU gets it done this week. Otherwise, it's ut in the championship game.

[JLEW1818]

Any chance Texas gets what we got in 2003? A loss in the big 12 ship, but still get in?

[JLEW1818]

I just dont see it. Nebbish had no problem in lubbock. And ut has the added motivation of knowing that if they win that game, the season is basically over.

I think OSU gets it done this week. Otherwise, it's ut in the championship game.

I agree that they are inconsistent, but when Tech is on, its hostile in Lubbock.

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

I'd think so too, any chance the voters think other wise if we kill everybody left?


No I think we might get the "USC treatment" from the media. X talking head says "No one is playing better football than OU right now, at this time they are probably the best team in the country". I've heard that comment used at least 4 times including USC 3 times and Georgia last year.

We don't get in the BCS Championship though.

[TMcGee86]

I agree that they are inconsistent, but when Tech is on, its hostile in Lubbock.

This is true. And they do get up for texas. Should be interesting to watch to say the least.

[JLEW1818]

yep, we Just got to win out and try to win out big. all we can control, but if i get enough money I'll take care of Colt for everybody

[ousooners182]

I think tech has a chance...it will be in lubbock and texas always struggles in lubbock

tech wont try to run the ball up the middle like we did..they will just throw 65 times..

i think tech will pull an upset with the score around 89 to 87.

:)

[ousooners182]

[JLEW1818]

hahaha. Crabtree wins the game single handily

[SoonerKnight]

If OSU beat Texass and they when out until we beat them then what?

[SOONER STEAKER]

No one loss sec team will jump a one loss OU. It. Wont. Happen.


What would Billinhsley say to this one loss OU vs. a 1 loss SEC team for the NC game?

[JLEW1818]

Well since everybody is talking about the 3 way tie, here we go

Oklahoma remaining schedule

@KSU
Nebraksa
@TAMU
Texas Tech
@Oklahoma State

Texas Tech Remaining Schedule

@ Kansas
Texas
Oklahoma State
@Oklahoma
Baylor

Oklahoma State Remaining Schedule

@ Texas
Iowa State
@ Texas Tech
@ Colorado
Oklahoma

Okay all you theory people lets here some scenarios. Who is the other team besides us and Texas ?

[TMcGee86]

If OSU beat Texass and they when out until we beat them then what?

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.



:gary:

[ousooners182]

we win out...oklahoma state wins out and then we beat them which would certainly give us the higher ranking in the bcs so then we are sent to play in the big 12 championship..we win convincingly..go to the nat'l championship play any sec team then win on a last second touchdown catch from sam to jermaine then we go ..then the whole team holds a party with about 100 kegs and we all celebrate together??
I think its likely

[soonerfan28]

I hope Tech and OSU beat Texas and keep moving up so we can beat them both.

[ousooners182]

i just cant see tech winning out..

but i can see them beating texas cause its in lubbock and they will be going crazy..

i sure wish the okie state/tech game was in stillwater..i would feel alot better about thinking okie state has a chance to run the table until us

[JLEW1818]

We have the so called "easiest" schedule for the next 3 games. WE need to take advantage.

[olevetonahill]

I may be wrong ( cause I was once ) But WE win Out BIG , Penn st and Bamer lose . wont we be #2 in the BCS ?
Wont the #2 in the BCS go to the MNC gqame ?

[ousooners182]

exactly..especially our d having 3 good games would be great..
im glad we have the week off after a&m..
hopefully find a way to slow down tech some :/

[JLEW1818]

I may be wrong ( cause I was once ) But WE win Out BIG , Penn st and Bamer lose . wont we be #2 in the BCS ?
Wont the #2 in the BCS go to the MNC gqame ?

oh yes! The rest of the country would be throwing a fit , if we played Texas in the National Championship. Oh gosh that's better then playing usc

[JLEW1818]

Alabama Remaining Schedule

@ Tennessee
Arkansas State
@ LSU
Mississippi State
Auburn
SEC ship?


any thoughts...

[lloyd45]

at LSU is the only thing that should be remotely tough imo. If they lose to this Tennessee team...lol

[ousooners182]

I may be wrong ( cause I was once ) But WE win Out BIG , Penn st and Bamer lose . wont we be #2 in the BCS ?
Wont the #2 in the BCS go to the MNC gqame ?

Well the thing is everyone thinks the voters would drop us down the final week like they did last year with Georgia because us not playing and winning our conference championship. Yes I know Nebraska 2001 but the voters are different now. Last year they did it to Georgia and im sure they would do it to us, especially if a 1 loss SEC team wins the championship.

The only way I see a rematch possible is if a 2 loss team wins the SEC championship (most likely from the East), and USC loses one more. USC wont jump us, but if we dont play in the big 12 championship im sure alot of voters would have them jump us, but in that case hopefully oregon state wins out so they would be pac 10 champs and they wouldn't have that argument against us.

But say somehow we make it to the big 12 championship there is no way..i repeat..NO WAY..usc would pass us our strength of schedule is our savior

[ousooners182]

any thoughts...

I hope auburn beats them again that will be like 7 in a row i think

[yermom]

Allbarn seems to find a way to beat Bammer somehow lately

@LSU should be a tough game

[JLEW1818]

How sweet would it be if all the sec teams had at least 2 losses at the end of the regular season.

[ousooners182]

not only that..also usc lost one more time and penn st. loses..then i dont really see how they could vote ou out of it ..even against texas..

[Big Red Ron]

I may be wrong ( cause I was once ) But WE win Out BIG , Penn st and Bamer lose . wont we be #2 in the BCS ?
Wont the #2 in the BCS go to the MNC gqame ?You are correct sir.

[bri]

If that happens, only one gets an automatic bid. That's the rule. They had a very long discussion about that last night on Sporting News Radio.


The funny part is that nowhere does it say that the higher ranked of the two gets the bid. :texan:

That's my my dream mid-major doomsday scenario has Utah beating TCU, then losing to BYU. And obviously, Tulsa winning out in grand fashion. :D

[StoopTroup]

That's my my dream mid-major doomsday scenario has Utah beating TCU,

Can't give you a pass on that one Bri...

I want Tulsa to do as well as possible too Bri...but I can't root for Utah over TCU due to the BCS.

I understand your passion for the Hurricane however.

[bri]

I know, I know. You guys keep pulling for TCU to make up for our inability to cover Jordan Shipley; I'll be rooting for history. ;)

[bcgvh]

Why? I don't think so. The B12 is stong this year

Dude, the SEC has a lot of highly ranked teams too. The voters love the SEC. We may be top 2 in the BCS before the championship game, but IF two 1-loss SEC teams play each other in the championship, I can almost guarantee that we get jumped after the last week. Being idle that week is going to be a killer. Here's what we need...OSU to beat Texas, and then remain undefeated until our game with them in Stillwater...that's our way back into the Big 12 championship without Texas needing to lose twice...although I'd still rather see Texas lose twice.

exactly what he said.

if we dont get to the big 12 championship then hopefully penn state loses to ohio state, usc loses to zona or someone, then a 2 loss sec team wins the sec championship. then it would be tough to leave us out even though we weren't conference champs..thats the only way i see ou texas

[JLEW1818]

who knows people

[ousooners182]

exactly.

lets just take care of business..if we win out more than likely we will find some way in just like what could have been last year..with college football how it is today there are going to be upsets everywhere and lets just pray they fall our way and we win out

Jeez, I have got a fricking headache now, and I have to wish for an LSU win over Alabama?

[GreaterState]

"Crazy scenario October" is my favorite time of year at Soonerfans.

Any plan that requires picking the exact outcome of six games or more probably shouldn't be put in writing...

:texan:

[OU_Sooners75]

I see a Bama loss and a PSU loss on the horizon. We don't even have to play in the Bib XII championship if we and UT win out. REMATCH

Penn State loses this coming Saturday.
I think Texas loses this Saturday as well. Texas will likely lose 2 of their final 5 games. If they don't I hope to hell they win out, because if they lose just lose one, OU will not reach the BCS title.

And Bama, they will probably fall against either Tennesse this weekend of LSU in 3 weeks.

Alabama has a very easy shot at going undefeated. But how they have been playing, I doubt it.


And don't worry about USC. they have at least one more loss in them.
And Florida, well, they and OSU will be our biggest threats.

First and foremost. WE NEED TO WIN EVERY SINGLE GAME!

[OU_Sooners75]

"Crazy scenario October" is my favorite time of year at Soonerfans.

Any plan that requires picking the exact outcome of six games or more probably shouldn't be put in writing...

:texan:

So far from the preseason, I am right on track with OU reaching the NC, even with me saying they lose one game in october. :mad:

I also have USC losing two games this year, Bama losing 1, Missouri losing 3 games and Texas losing 2 after beating OU.

So far, I am true to everything I have predicted in the preseason. :eek:

So you can kiss my white butt! :D

[PhiDeltBeers]

What happens if all the Big 12 schools win out??? Then what? Anyone? Yeah, think about that one.

[bri]

Then we enjoy a festive holiday season in lovely San Diego. Or a frigid New Year's morning in Dallas.

[BHud]

Texas has won by 4, 35, lost by 4, won by 12, in the past 4 visits. 3-1, with an average MOV of approx. 12. That doesnt exactly support your statement......



I think tech has a chance...it will be in lubbock and texas always struggles in lubbock

tech wont try to run the ball up the middle like we did..they will just throw 65 times..

i think tech will pull an upset with the score around 89 to 87.

:)
