Here is an article/video of predictions of when the undefeated will lose. LINK (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/forde-yard-dash--predicting-when-each-undefeated-team-will-lose-032638433-ncaaf.html)
He is predicting that OU, Baylor, and TCU will all beat each other.
Oklahoma (16)
Record: 4-0, 1-0 in the Big 12.
What’s gone well: Sooners have been closers, outscoring opponents 34-7 in the fourth quarter. That included a great escape at Tennessee, when Oklahoma was squarely backed against the wall. Baker Mayfield has been excellent as the new starting quarterback, ranking fifth nationally in efficiency.
What could be better: Oklahoma did not dispatch Tennessee, Tulsa or West Virginia with ease. Despite the presence of two talented backs in Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon, the running game has been pedestrian. The defense has been average – with a lot of high-powered offenses to come.
Expiration date: Nov. 14, at Baylor. The highest-powered offense will be ready to run roughshod on Oklahoma for a third straight season.
Scoring at home: down to the final four.
TCU (18)
Record: 5-0, 1-0 in the Big 12.
What’s gone well: The Horned Frogs have hung 50 or more on four straight opponents. Trevone Boykin to Josh Doctson might be the best pass-catch combination in college football. Aaron Green was in the right place at the right time. An injury-riddled defense has bent on occasion – OK, a lot in Lubbock – but not yet broken.
What could be better: That injury-riddled defense still has several high-powered offenses to face, and it took a miracle catch to escape against Texas Tech. Frogs allowing 387 yards per game, on pace to be the most since 2004.
Expiration date: Nov. 21, at Oklahoma. The Sooners still remember the upset loss to the Frogs last year in Fort Worth. They’ll be ready for revenge.
Scoring at home: We head into the last weekend of the regular season with two unbeatens.
Baylor (19)
Record: 4-0, 1-0 in the Big 12.
What’s gone well: The offensive orgy continues unabated. The Bears lead the nation in scoring by 13 points a game and in total offense by 115 yards per game. They’re averaging a staggering 9.4 yards per play. Running, passing – it’s all working.
What could be better: The schedule.
Expiration date: Nov. 27, at TCU. Speaking of payback games, the Horned Frogs are still stewing on the blown lead and late three-point loss last year to Baylor that cost them a spot in the playoff. They’ll be on a mission.
Sooo, We defeat TCU, Baylor defeats us, and TCU defeats Baylor. No clear champion again.
Oh, Pokes lose to WV this weekend.
