re: 2 months ago everyone said Texas OU had a rude awakening coming next year
Posted by sows on 10/11/23 at 7:33 pm
SEC grind is a new phenomenon, made possible thru expansion. The conference has certainly been strong since 2003.. Before that? Not so much.
You guys make it seem like Sewanee and Tulane were never in the conference. Moreover, many of the top SEC teams haven't played the other top teams that...

re: How far Oklahoma has fallen...
Posted by sows on 1/1/21 at 5:49 am
OU went 94-4-2 in the 50s, including the longest winning streak in the history of the game. No one is saying Bama isn't the Yankees of college football. But to say OU is not elite is not only ridiculous and untrue, but smacks of jealousy. Riley is the offensive mind of his generation. You guys c...

[quote]Close? you've crumbled[/quote]
Not really. The OT game with Georgia was close. Kyler got us back in the game vs. Bama. Last year LSU was great and beat us bad. I wouldn't call any of it crumbling.
We beat Ohio St. in Columbus. Does that count as a game that matters to you? I thin...

OU has titles. More than LSU. Again not close.
Bottom line is OU has been in the top 5 for a decade. We've been close. But I freely say Bama and Clemson are the two best programs currently, and I hope OU gets another shot at them in near futu...

OU is undoubtedly a perennial contender. Moreso than any team in the SEC save Alabama. LSU, UF, UGA are all good teams but not nearly as consistent as OU's program. Not even close really.

Is that what happened? I mean I get the argument, Alabama doesn't play hard if it's not a national title. Do you really believe this? Is the Sugar Bowl ...do they give a trophy for that? But , because Bama so "unmotiva...
re: UGA fans- do you think you can stop Mayfield
Posted by sows on 12/3/17 at 10:26 pm
Why the last 15 years? What makes that the cutoff date?
OU won 2000 BCS. What don't you understand about this?
I take it you're referring to SEC argument, specifically OU v LSU in 2003. We lost by a touchdown in New Orleans to Saban and best LSU team ever. Dropped a td pass to tie game. ...

looked a bit different at the game. McCarron and Bama seemed to be in the game to me. But whatever you need to tell yourself......
re: UGA fans- do you think you can stop Mayfield

I expect a good game with UGA. Excited about a first time matchup with y'all Dawg fans.
You can say what you want about OU but I don't think Sooners have a "spotty" bowl record.
OU is 29-20-1 in bowl games.
12 Orange Bowl wins (most all time)
OU is 6-2 in Sugar Bowl and we're not even...
Honest question regarding Committee and SEC
Posted by sows on 11/29/17 at 6:25 pm
I don't want to pick on Miss St. But they are 8-4 and the committee has them ranked #23. They are 1 of 2 4-loss teams in the rankings.
MSU played 4 teams this season not from a P5 conference. They were...
Charleston Southern
LA Tech
BYU
UMass
So they won 4 SEC games and are ranked #2...
re: The only way Bama makes the playoffs is if TCU beats Oklahoma.
Posted by sows on 11/28/17 at 8:49 pm
Spot on.
Bama is the on deck team for a spot. Committee made that plainly clear. The real question is whether they are a top 4 team? I don't think it really matters to the committee. They want to get two SEC teams into the playoff. ...
re: Alabama is going to get a shot!
Posted by sows on 11/28/17 at 8:35 pm
Iowa State is not a bad team this season. It was a one score game.
If I wanted to be a **** I 'd say Bama's loss was more convincing and in the last game of the season. Not a good look. But, I was agreeing with OP. I do think Bama has a good shot if OU or Wisc loses.
I'm not complaining,...
re: Alabama is going to get a shot!
Posted by sows on 11/28/17 at 8:21 pm
I think Bama has a good shot to get in. Inexplicably Fresno St appears in the rankings at 9-3. Really? I can't imagine why? The committee is setting it up in hopes of getting in 2 SEC teams. Not that it's a surprise considering they're partnered with espn.
That said I don't think THIS Bama...

I think Oklahoma has a better home winning percentage than LSU since 2000. Maybe you were just talking SEC? An asterisk would be good next time. ...
re: Kentucky's NC in football came at the Sooner's expense
Posted by sows on 8/21/17 at 7:03 pm
You're logic is flawed. You completely left out the EFFECT of naming the national BEFORE the bowls. If you think it had no effect on the outcome you're fooling yourself. The bowl games were like exhibitions back then. It was a completely different era. Some of OU's finest teams in the 50s didn...

"Oklahoma is serially overrated..."
Not really sure what you're referring to. This board recently posted threads about the best teams in the AP and Coaches' polls. OU is #1 in both based on final poll results through history. So i fail to see that you've even made an argument.

After Saban's run, yes. Before that I'm not sure Bama would be first. Even though I think they claim some superfluous titles, the 10 by my count is still more than anyone else. So again yes. Saban also coached 2 Heisman winners. That was a piece of puzzle Alabama was missing. Those 2 things...
re: Why Kyle Field is Better than your Stadium

Least favorite stadium I've been to, although it was prior to renovation. But I was in visitor's section which overlooked the area behind the goalpost but from the side.
Now it looks like 3 different styles trying to blend but not really making it happen. I'm sure the suites are nice. Mayb...
re: Coaches Poll College Football Rankings: Greatest Programs Of All-Time
Posted by sows on 8/7/17 at 9:19 pm
It's really a ranking of who is best in the modern era or since the poll started in 1950. It's pretty accurate. As a sidenote the 1974 Sooners didn't get a single vote in the coaches poll. They were on probation and prior to that season the coaches poll changed the rule regarding their own voting...
