Agree with the other Sooner poster. The quoted post is incredibly stupid.
Nobody was saying if we had done this or that. We are talking about the future. If we win out we are in. If we lose we are out.
That is just stating what we believe to be true. Not sure how you could disagree with the use of the word “if”.
You seem to be too stupid to realize the context in which the word is used.

No. Based on your ranking, you do not control your own destiny.

If OU wins the B12 undefeated they are in zero doubt. They are most likely in even with 1 loss

IF the rest of your fans are like this, then y'all just might be the biggest "IF" fanbase ever.

Off Topic - why is Oklahoma always referred to as OU instead of UO? Do they call themselves OU?
I don’t know why it became that way but it was the case for all non-state Big 8 teams. Oklahoma - OU, Missouri - MU, Nebraska - NU, Colorado - CU, Kansas - KU
All of them are “University of…”

How can you justify them being in at 1 loss. NY6 bowl sure, but not CFP

CFP rankings are much more fluid than polls. Every week they rank the teams without regard to the previous week’s ranking. It is all about what the teams have done to date. They have no problem shuffling teams around as teams get quality wins.
OU’s schedule is backloaded. If we win out we will have more quality wins than some of those we are behind right now.
I am not sure I want OU in the playoffs but based on the way the committee does their rankings, I have no doubt that we will be in if we win out.

You cannot expect to be placed in the top 4, when you narrowly escape several losses to unranked (UTa, WVU, KU, Tulane) teams like OU has.
Imagine if they dropped a game to a 2 loss team….

Not even sure what that means or how I am supposed to predict what I believe the committee will do under different circumstances without using that word, but whatever. Continue your idiotic nonsensical ranting.

Yes apparently losing to an unranked team is better than winning all your games by a TD….

Here’s what OU and Texas are about to come to terms with when they begin SEC competition in the next few seasons. Both programs are going to be faced with the equivalent of 6 Red River Rivalries every season. Let that sink in for a minute. Virtually every Saturday in the SEC is a bowl game. It’s the whose who of college football. My advice? Prepare for how humbling it will be. There are no Saturdays off. Had you pulled your little stunt against Kansas in the SEC, that’s a sure loss. Buckle up brother, you’re in for one hell of a ride.
Wrong, they will get to play Arky and Mizzou on at least 2 Saturdays.

The committee will wait till later but you have to really respect what Oklahoma has done under tough conditions in these games yet finding a way to win them all.

Blinded by SEC? We’ve been in the championship game every year since 2015. We’ve won more than any conference. We’ve smashed better more lethal OU teams in the playoffs then what you currently field. No quality wins should matter, not loses and they have better wins than y’all.
WTF does any of that matter this year? Answer my damn question. Who have they beat that justifies ignoring the loss to a bad A&M team?
Posted on 11/2/21 at 9:38 pm to RedDirtSooner
They beat Miss st who is currently ranked and they beat the brakes off of state. They also beat Ole Miss, who they handled decisively. Lost to A&M by 3 points… it was a game. Who have you beat decisively? Y’all have not dominated a game from start to finish to be considered good! Just the truth man. They have.

The bigger question you should ask is why if your program so excellent, why are you ranked behind an undefeated cincy team.
Posted on 11/2/21 at 9:41 pm to HotTakes
As a Sooner fan, I agree with you but the season isn't over. I've watched football for decades and the early polls don't matter much unless you are on the outside looking in. For Instance, Cincy has to remain undefeated or they likely will not get in. I like their chances but there is too much parity in college football to assume they will.
MSU is a sound fundamental well-coached team but their path is not likely to end in an undefeated season.
If Georgia goes undefeated they could lose to Bama in the SEC championship and still make the PLayoffs. Which would also put Bama in.
if OU wins out the circumstances very well could mean OU is in the final four. The path requires a little help but to suggest it is unreasonable for them to make it is an emotional tug in your head. It could be Georgia, Bama, Cincy and OU. Historical data suggests that is a possible path. It ain't over until it's over, ask Texas about that.

I agree, but the biggest difference between Alabama and the rest is they control their destiny OSU and MSU are in the same boat, OU has to have someone lose to get in
Absolutely incorrect, if OU wins out that's it they are in. End of story. EVEN if Bama beats UGA. Just look at how things would play out. Cincinnati will not stay ahead of OU, Neither will Michigan. If Mich State wins out then tOSU will drop, there is a good chance BOTH MSU and tOSU lose. Oregon will not stay ahead of a 13-0 OU even if they don't lose again.

Told y’all the committee will get tired of OU shitting the bed and give Pac12 the 4th spot.

What you have to realize is that Arkansas has always been an afterthought on the national scene except for one or two years in the ‘60s.
Their move to the SEC merely gave them an excuse for their irrelevance. They could fool themselves that they would be a power in another conference despite no evidence to back it up.
Same with Missouri and A&M except both have recent history of mediocrity in our conference.
What gets me about Arkansas fans is that they are so out of touch with reality. They never approach OU in recruiting. They aren’t within a couple of hours of the fertile recruiting ground of Dallas. They aren’t a blue blood. Yet they somehow think they are going to beat OU regularly in the SEC.
At least A&M, unlike Arkansas, have put together a few very good recruiting classes.
