You guys got a scare vs. Florida a few weeks ago, and this feels like a back-handed acknowledgement on your part. OU beat that Florida team 55-20 with the Bucs' 2nd round draft pick at QB for the Gators.
Arkansas.. yeah I don't know about that. Can't disagree with the rest.
"OU beat THAT Florida team 55-20"... but then you admit that their QB isn't on the team anymore (let's just ignore the rest of the players that are gone that make it not "THAT" team any more)?
And how much mileage are you really going to try and get out of that Sugar Bowl. Florida was down their top 4 receivers. 61% of their receiving yards production and 74% of their receiving TD production. 2 first rounders did not play. I know you guys are looking for banners to hang up in the stadium these days but that game is not exactly hang your hat on worthy.

Bowl games are becoming worthless at this point..
I think a better idea going forward would be something like this..
1) Make the playoff (hopefully 8-12 teams)
or
2) Play a regional “rival”..
Examples:
Texas vs SMU
Florida vs UCF
Ohio State vs Cincinnati
Tennessee vs Memphis
Oregon vs Boise State
Basically a David vs Goliath game that will matter to both schools because of the regional appeal that you need to win for recruiting if nothing else..
No P5 school wants to lose to an in state G5 school.
Maybe this is a stupid idea, but something needs to be done.
As to the OP.. Texas would beat A&M and the other 13 would beat Texas. OU would lose all 14.

Yes, that's the excuse we heard for months after the game and I apologize for striking a nerve, that was not my intention.
OU had key players banged up & not available too.. it's not OU's fault the Gators were extremely thin at WR. That Gator team was 8-3 with some quality wins and coming off a SECCG appearance. THIS Gator team doesn't appear to be in the same league. So why suddenly would Florida be favored to beat either OU or TX right now? At the very least, it's debatable.

I thought the SEC didn't have cry babies. You play with who you got and don't blame things you can't control. Ifs and buts never help your casr
