Would you want to be like Oklahoma and lose every year in the playoffs or win a bowl game?

Playoffs

even Georgia beat us.

That’s a zinger.

Your co-worker is a dipstick then. A 63-28 blowout loss in a game that decides who goes on to play for a national championship is better than a major bowl win without any national championship implications.

Oklahoma is always a contender. The 1-7 BCSNCG/CFP record is brutal but I’d take it over not having the opportunity to play for it all.

My thinking is, your co-worker celebrates non-BCSNCG/CFP wins over Alabama and Auburn than BCSNCG/CFP losses. That’s pathetic. And I doubt he is a true fan. I’ll take an OU CFP close loss or blowout loss over a meaningless NY6 bowl win any day.

Gots to be in it to win it.

If LSU wasn’t in it, I’d enjoy seeing any of the little 9 schools play for the SEC Championship. The game is more fun when everyone can go into the season with high hopes that this could be the year for their team.

I would say the same for other conferences as well. Back in the day, schools like Colorado, Washington, Miami and Virginia Tech were championship contenders. It was more fun back then, when more than 8-12 schools were realistically able to win their conference and gain national prominence.

I might be in the minority here, but I fear that fan interest in the sport will dwindle in the coming years if the SEC’s Big 5, Clemson, OSU and Oklahoma continue being the only schools that have a real chance at taking home the hardware.

Somebody else from the SEC or some other conference needs to step up and assert themselves for the overall good of the sport.

This year with tua out, I think bama could have given Oklahoma a decent game. Maybe even keep it within a 10 to 13 point loss.

Bama with Mac Jones would have beaten Oklahoma by multiple scores. Had Jones had more than one start before they played Auburn they win that game as well, make tre playoff and probably make LSU earn trip to NOLA.

I’m glad they didn’t get in, but if we’re being serious they were a top-6 team. Either Bama, Florida or Georgia IMO had the best shot at winning in the semis and/or the NCG.

Those three, Auburn and Ohio State were every bit as good as Clemson, and all were better than Oklahoma.

Bowls are insignificant.

I watched the orange And sugar bowls and it was very sad.

OU is the 1990's Buffalo Bills of college football. The AFC was really weak and the Bills took advantage. They almost won the first super bowl and then it got worse and worse. The only difference is that the BIG12 isn't getting stronger as the AFC eventually did, so OU may make the playoffs annually for years to come. The best part is every year you could believe this is the year.

Orange was a sellout.
