Well, there goes our #4 ranking.

[SoonerStormchaser]

With Florida sticking it to the Dawgs, I don't think us beating the bugeaters by 50 would keep them from jumping us.

****ers!

[Newbomb Turk]

I was so looking forward to that #4 trophy.

[Crimson Kid]

I was so looking forward to that #4 trophy.

#5 trophy is just as nice. :D

[JLEW1818]

They will jump us. but

We lost to number 1 team in nation, they lost to an unranked team.

Makes a lot of sense.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Georgia is the most over-rated team in the SEC; they flat out suck and Stafford is about the 40th best QB in college, if that

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

2 flagrant pass interference calls not made on FL by the officials, resulting in 14 pts for FL. I haven't watched the entire game, but those calls were BIG, and could have had at least a slight demoralizing effect on the Dawgs.

[Widescreen]

Yeah, if we have no realistic shot at #1, it really doesn't matter.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Yah...but it irritates me that they lost to craptacular Ole Miss AT HOME.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Ole Miss beat Auburn today; that was pretty nice.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Boy are the dawgs a farce? All summer the pundits were talking them #1. What a ****ing crock of ****.

[JLEW1818]

Man if Auburn only had an offense

[Newbomb Turk]

Yah...but it irritates me that they lost to craptacular Ole Miss AT HOME.

ole miss isn't a bad football team.

we just need to take care of our own business.

we still gots lots of aggies to beat this year.

[Flagstaffsooner]

How about the most overrated team in the NCAA?:)

[badger]

#5 trophy is just as nice. :D

:mad: but if Florida moves up to No. 4, we are no longer one spot away from the coveted No. 3 trophy!

[SoonerStormchaser]

BAA means NO!

[badger]

BAA means NO!

But "No" means "Yes" and "Yes" means twice.

[OU-HSV]

Florida is playing some good football. They are a pretty scary looking team to me right now....that being said, GA has been over hyped all year. It's good to see them fall again.

[silverwheels]

Doesn't matter if Texas and Penn State win out, which I think both teams will. I just want us to improve on defense and win fairly comfortably tonight.

[JLEW1818]

Man a 8 team tourney..... lol

[Curly Bill]

Man a 8 team tourney..... lol

Not in favor.

[JLEW1818]

Not in favor.

4 team?

[BoulderSooner79]

:mad: but if Florida moves up to No. 4, we are no longer one spot away from the coveted No. 3 trophy!

No. 3 trophy is this worst of the lot - close, but no cigar :(

[BoomerSooner247]

I don't see florida jumping both OU and suc in one week.

[Curly Bill]

4 team?

Nope...

...I'm anti-playoff

[JLEW1818]

AHa, I'm anti Colt McCoy

[Sabanball]

You guys win out, i have a feeling everything will fall into place. We'll take care of UF when we play them in the SECCG.;)

[EnragedOUfan]

There is always this scenario: Texas Tech wins tonight only to later on lose to OU. Then, OU beats Oklahoma State soundly in Stillwater. That would be 2 top 10/15 opponents. But I still don't think the Gators deserve to jump OU if that happens. The whole losing to an unranked team at home doesn't fly....

BOOMER!

[cheezyq]

Georgia is the most over-rated team in the SEC; they flat out suck and Stafford is about the 40th best QB in college, if that

Not if you listened to any of that broadcast. They touted him as the best NFL ready QB in college. :rolleyes:

[SoonerStormchaser]

I am pro 16 team playoff!

[BoomerSooner247]

Nope...

...I'm anti-playoffWhat about a 2 team playoff system? :texan:

[SoonerStormchaser]

Aww **** it...if they jump us after this, then something is ****ed up!

[tommieharris91]

BOOMER!

Actually, if your scenario happens, I would like to see an OU/Florida BCS NCG.

[MojoRisen]

Do we move ahead of Texas to #3 in the BCS?

[soonerinabilene]

Do we move ahead of Texas to #3 in the BCS?

We will not be ahead of an undefeated Alabama, Penn State, and Tech. Texas MIGHT take 4 and push us to 5.

[MojoRisen]

I want Tech rated as high as they can go - they should be ahead of Penn St at #2 but I don't think they jump from 7 to 2...

I would think that beating Tech and Okie St - we would stay ahead of Florida and move past Texas... Tough to tell though Texas was almost a 1000 in the BCS

[SOONERnTx]

well they arent near 1000 anymore

[birddog]

Nope...

...I'm anti-playoff

and when the seasons always end up like this, i find it hard to believe you're not in favor of one.

[badger]

What about a 2 team playoff system? :texan:

Let's have several postseason tournaments like college basketball? Since you are in favor of a 2 team playoff system, let's have multiple playoff brackets with two teams where the winner is declared a champion of its respective bracket!

:P

[Curly Bill]

and when the seasons always end up like this, i find it hard to believe you're not in favor of one.

I can be against it because to me the entire season is a playoff.

[rainiersooner]

I can be against it because to me the entire season is a playoff.

I humbly disagree. If the whole season was a playoff, you wouldn't have to speculate whether teams that don't play each other are better (i.e., Florida better than OU? Alabama better than Penn State?) to determine who gets the coveted two top spots in the polls. By definition playoffs eliminate teams that have played each other. Under our current system - the whole season is a beauty contest. Until the BCS championship game, things are not decided on the field (like a playoff), they're decided in the minds of coaches and journalists.

Under a playoff system the season-long best team could lose to a team that gets hot, gets lucky, or gets a call their way. So you see, each has its faults.

Would you say Ole Miss got lucky against Florida?

[Curly Bill]

Didn't see it.

[rainiersooner]

Yes, but I think if you have a top-4 BCS playoff, you're getting teams that have had to perform over the entire season to earn that top-4 position. And generally speaking, the top-4 teams at the end of the season have never played each other, so it is difficult to say that the nominal number one team is truly better than the nominal number four team. I would never embrace a basketball style playoff, for the reasons you identify...but I think that to make it into a four team playoff, you have in fact had to survive your own "season is the playoff" gauntlet.

[StoopTroup]

I'm guessing we stay at #4. Tech goes to #3. the whorns fall behind Florida and suc.

I'm tired and had a few drinks and still on the road Home so it might very a little.

[tommieharris91]

Didn't see it.

31-30 Ole Miss. Rebs won by blocking an XP that would have tied the game.

[Curly Bill]

Playoffs...smayoffs...I don't give a rip and I said I wasn't gonna get involved in arguing against them this year...so whatever you guys want. :D


...besides that, they ain't happening anytime soon no matter how much ya'll want them. :P

[rainiersooner]

besides that, they ain't happening anytime soon no matter how much ya'll want them. :P

On that, we can agree!!

[OU_Sooners75]

Florida will not jump from #8 to #4 TTU will be in the top 3. OU should stay, Florida should go to #5. Texas #6 and SUC should be behind OSwho at #8.

Here is my opinion on the matter....

1. Bama
2. Texas Tech
3. Penn State
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida
6. Texass
7. Oklahoma State
8. USuCk
9. Boise State
10. Utah

[PalmBeachSooner1]

Florida will NOT pass OU. Don't worry

[StoopTroup]

Beee

Esssssssss

[footballfanatic]

OU is where they should be. You lost a game that wasn't even close.

[OKLA21FAN]

OU is where they should be. You lost a game that wasn't even close.
:gary:

[SoonerAtKU]

OU is where they should be. You lost a game that wasn't even close.

I must have watched a different game. I recall OU running up and down the field against a good Texas team, then falling behind after losing the captain of the defense. Did you have in a tape of the 2005 game, by chance?

[1890MilesToNorman]

I think we take 1st place in the swimsuit portion of the season and probably get an honorable mention in congeniality. :D

[A-M]

How about the most overrated team in the NCAA?:)

I thought this when Georgia was rated #1 before the season started and still think this. What do they have over the voters?

Under our current system - the whole season is a beauty contest. Until the BCS championship game, things are not decided on the field (like a playoff), they're decided in the minds of coaches and journalists.

There will always be questions about who could beat whom until we do go to a playoff system which I am thinking should be happening this year.
