Not really. OU is a similar team to LSU. I actually thought LSU defense played exceptionally well. They sniffed out every single screen and easy yardage gadget play that Bama threw out there. Simpson also just barely missed at least 2 td passes. Also I think this game proved to the coaches that certain run schemes just need to be abandoned. If OU had played Bama before LSU, it would have been much better timing for them

"We (LSU) are the better football team"

dallastiger55 some time during the first quarter of the Alabama/LSU game on Saturday.

Oklahoma's bread and butter is stopping the run. Bama has ripped off 8 wins in a row without running the ball. Opelousas probably holds our backs to 3.2 ypc.

Somehow the Alabama defense is flying under the radar, but it'll be the most athletic group OU has seen outside of Texas. I expect bama to completely smother the OU offense and create multiple turnovers

Even their fans won’t disagree


I actually do agree with this statement. Remain at 13, that's where they should be this week. With a miracle win against Georgia, then we can discuss whether they should be in the top 10. However, those swing passes won't work against Georgia like they did against Vandy. And, Georgia can tackle.

I’ve got no issue with you being 10

You beat OU so they have to stay behind you

If you pull the huge upset over Georgia, well then you will be the 8-2 team everyone is worried about

USC jr beat Bama until a miracle turnover saved them?

Some would call that miracle turnover a clutch defensive play by the Bama defense.

Penn St took Indiana to the wire. Iowa took Oregon to the final seconds. There isn't a top 10 team that isn't beatable. A&M looks the most complete - but even they have questions.


Ohio State hasn’t even hit full stride yet. They’re clearly load managing, just like they did last season before turning it on in the playoffs.

I still remember Tennessee fans asking, “Where was this Ohio State team all year?” They admitted we were the best team they faced....by far.

And this year’s team? It’s even better than last year’s. Just because Ryan Day doesn’t run up the score doesn’t mean Ohio State isn’t capable of beating any team in the country by three touchdowns. They’re simply playing the long game.

You can't possibly think it was a good showing last weekend.

Probably.

Every game has been fairly stress inducing.

Interestingly enough, it seems our defense isn't getting enough credit. Alabama's defense is 9th in the country in efficiency (compared to Oklahoma's 7th). In conference play we're #1 in scoring defense in the SEC (#3 over the entire season), and giving up almost an entire TD less than OU against ranked opponents.

Feels like of all the matchups, the OU offense vs the Alabama defense is just as (if not more) important, as OU's offense to date has not been impressive and Alabama's defense is pretty damned good.

BAMA:

5-0 vs. top 30 teams. Only team with more than 4.

1-0 vs. top 10 teams. One of only 4 top 10 teams.

Strength of Schedule: 4. Highest rated schedule by far among the top 10.


Oregon, Texas, Texas Tech, and Notre Dame are most likely to lose based on the stats of the season to date.

Notre Dame, especially.

People doubting Bama?

Nothing another game vs UGA won’t cure

Pretty easy to do when you play no ranked teams( I realize that Texas is #10 now, but game 1 Texas was significantly worse than current Texas)

Hard to believe Alabama has a win against a top5 team right?
