I think Oklahoma or Alabama is going to boat race them. I’m still not sold on them.

I wasnt sold until seeing the effort they put forward in what was essentially a meaningless conference championship game.

They will be a tough out. Bama damn sure wont do it.

They held Oregon to 13 offensive points and OSU to 10.

You really think OU or the gumps are going to light up the scoreboard

Yeah I don’t think the Big 10 is very good. Those teams look better than they actually are because if the shite conference they play in

The B1G being an overall weaker conference doesn’t mean much. OSU and Oregon both have top 5 talent composites and their 5* QBs didn’t bust, they both have multiple first round talents on offense

If Simpson plays like he did back in October I can see the gumps sticking around. OU would lose that game by multi scores

They didn't just lose. They got their asses stomped 26-7. It's one of those games where they didn't win the turnover battle and field position. If a good team limits mistakes against them, they should win.
Ole Miss beat them in Norman. Texas stomped them on a neutral field. Their offense is absolute shite.

If Bama gets by Oklahoma, I'll be back to see if you want to wager on it.

Settle down. If that was a genuine belief among the Cajuns, Les Miles would still be grazing the sidelines.

They give up 430 yards to bama last time, they are going to lose to Bama this time.

I’ve heard about a dozen podcast this week about the playoffs and Oklahoma is definitely the sexy pick

They are the healthiest they’ve been all year and defense travels.

They have the easiest path possible with a banged up Alabama and an Indiana team that just lost their best defensive player and is ranked 84th in total talent. Then they would get Texas tech in this semi’s which they would sign up for 10 times out of 10.

I’m going with Ohio St/OU in the title

they barely beat LSU
I don't see OU being a factor at all
Bama should win that game in Norman

Someone seems to not like the fact that OU is in the playoffs. Keep crying, it'll all be OK.

They lost one of their best defensive players to an injury recently. I'm not sold on Indiana having the depth to continue being the #1 team when star players go down.

If OU or Bama are going to beat Indiana it's not going to be by lighting up the scoreboard, it's going to be with suffocating defense.

The bigger question is whether OU can score enough. Their offense has struggled to make first downs against tall grass.
