We win out we are in but AU and UF and not going to roll over so nothing is a guaranteed except win one of those and we are in the CFB playoffs.

Everyone agree Clemson wins out they are in.

The real question will rise if OSU takes care of business next week. Because the question will come down how important is it to win your conference in a championship game. That was the issue a few years ago in the Big 12 and they got snubbed. I think OU with 2 losses since there is no championship game will hurt them even though they play their last game against a ranked Okie State team on championship weekend. But the committee said that 13th game has a lot of value when determining where to rank someone.

The committee has already showed this year that they think the BIG10 and PAC12 are stronger conferences then the BIG12. I think a 2 loss BIG10 or PAC12 champ would get in over OU.

I dunno...still think a few things gotta happen for OU to get in. Think Clemson and Bama are pretty much locks. If OSU beats Michigan, they're in. If Wisconsin beats Penn State for the title, they're in before OU...a 2-loss Penn State B1G champion might even get in before OU since the committee might have to do that to justify including a 1-loss OSU. A 1-loss Washington team would be in before OU...

OU's best chance is if Michigan wins out...then they'd need to hope that Washington loses again...or else the more unlikely possibilities that Clemson drops another or Bama loses 2 in a row...

Also, everyone was hyping Okie last year too until they got punched in the nose by Clemson.


Exactly.


OU not only lost to the only decent teams on their schedule (tOSU and UH) but they were exposed as well. They just happen to get to the shitty part of their schedule and now everyone thinks they're world beaters.

I'm sure Clemson or OSU would love to expose them again. Hell, even us.

I agree.

Ive been seeing it coming for weeks though. Bama will likely play the second best team in the playoff unless Washington/Wisky/Penn, or Michigan somehow find a way to get into the 4 spot.

Its looking like a Clemson vs Bama rematch for the title. Ohio State is not as good as people think, and Michigan would get the Michigan State treatment if they played Bama.

I dont understand the fear of Oklahoma. Why wouldn't they look good... look who those wins have come against.

I don't even think they will make although, I'd love to get revenge.

I don't think Washington loses to WSU or Colorado (I don't think Colorado will lose to Utah).

We all know they have it set up for Alabama to be first, the winner of UM and OSU to be second and Clemson to be third.

Okie has nothing to lose just like that sugar bowl loss to them.

So what? We have nothing to lose either.

This is reminiscent of LSU fans thinking they are world beaters because they beat mediocre teams.

That Oklahoma team that has some of you cowering, has one significant win; West Virgina. That West Virgina team's top three victories are against Missouri, BYU and TCU.

Every tough team that Oklahoma side faced that tried to play any defense, they struggled with greatly.

That's a team Texas, TCU and Iowa State played tough.... they sadly will probably lose to Okie St. If not we'd crush them and get our revenge on their big mouth coach.

It is surreal reading posts on this thread with fear and concern about Oklahoma. I know that OSU fan on our forum is having a great laugh.


The teams that shoukd concern us starts with Ohio State and ends with Clemson.

Who gives a frick who they put there? If you can't beat them in the semis you won't beat them in the finals.

Bring that shite on. frick Oklahoma. This defense is playing championship football and I like our running game against their defense honestly. Would rather play them than Clemson round one personally. Regardless my mind is on Auburn. Take care of business.

Alabama would beat OU by 14 easily. Their defense is absolutely atrocious.

Unless Alabama plays like they did vs UT-Chattanooga, I can't see any team beating Alabama. Ohio State is the biggest threat because of the experience of Barret, their defensive front can generate some pressure, and Meyer being the 2nd best coach in CFB right now.

I think it is a foregone conclusion that the committee will put in OSU even if they don't win their conference. Which is funny.


Not after struggling with a 3-7 MSU they won't. They better hope either PSU or Washington loses, otherwise they're on the Outside looking in.

frick Oklahoma. We owe them an arse whipping. If we play them, I think she needs to lead the team through the tunnel.
