Coming off a bye week, you'd think we had fallen out of the top 25, not moved up to 5th in the BCS standings.
For example: I know this is an Austin publication, but this paragraph knocked me over:
Can Collin Klein win the Heisman? Can Robert Griffin III? Brandon Weeden maybe should. And could Justin Blackmon be the next Calvin Johnson? The Big 12 has some special quarterbacks.
Unfortunately, none of them play for Texas, where David Ash is a freshman with only four starts and Case McCoy is a sophomore who might as well be a freshman for all his inactivity. What's a little alarming about Texas' situation is the lack of wow moments from Ash. He's just not very accurate. Of course, I didn't think Bryan Harsin helped him that much against Missouri, with so few passes in the middle of the field and safer out patterns and curls.
Not a mention of Landry.
Okay, so maybe it's just because it's an Austin paper, right? Wrong...
This (http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/53038/alabama-oregon-stating-case-for-title-shot) ESPN article talks about teams still remaining in the hunt (one loss teams), and has one paragraph on Oklahoma:
The Sooners, who moved up one spot from No. 6 to No. 5 in the BCS standings, didn't play on Saturday. The Sooners play at No. 25 Baylor on Saturday and host Iowa State on Nov. 26 before meeting the Pokes in the Bedlam game. Oklahoma's only defeat this season was a 41-38 loss to Texas Tech at home on Oct. 22
BUT, here's the intro to that article (that says very little about OU):
Does Alabama or Oregon have the best argument for playing a rematch against LSU in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game?
I'm hoping we become much more of the conversation after this week (and, hopefully a win). I'm sure we will for Bedlam week (assuming both OU and OSU win out).
