OK, we're not going through the regular season unbeaten. The truth is, we've only had five perfect regular seasons since 1970. Five. That's it. So the odds of it happening are pretty low. Especially when you consider all the young players we have this year, including a sophomore quarterback.
But we've had three of those five perfect regular seasons since 2000 when we won the title. So we've come to expect it and sort of feel the season is destroyed when we lose. The truth is, the Big 12 title is still there for the taking, a BCS bowl is still there and maybe, depending on how far we drop in the BCS and how other teams play out, we still have an outside shot to get to the title game.
So it suck, but it's far from over. There are still five more weeks to the regular season and A LOT can happen. I don't think we lose at home this season, and I don't think we lose at Baylor or A&M, so that leaves OSU. Win that and who knows where we sit as we head to the Big 12 title game.
At least, this is how I;m looking at it.
