How many points did OU score against Arizona at home in their loss?
OSU averages 45 ppg, scored 42 last night against the best defense in the world while OU was gifted with 35 points from 5 turnovers....
Time will tell, FRiend.
OSU lost at HOME to an unranked team, by two TDs. They were DOMINATED by an unranked team on their own turf. That should have disqualified ANYONE from a playoff berth. Thankfully for OSU, brand-names schools get one, sometimes two, Mulligans under the corrupt FBS system.
If not for being a brand-name, big money school - and TCU NOT being either - they wouldn't have been playing last night at all. They got an Affirmative Action playoff bid and made the most of it. Good for them, but they never should have been there.
Just thank your lucky stars that reputation is all that matters to the committee - who ranked two teams above an FSU team who had won 29 in a row, were the defending national champions, were led by a Heisman-winning QB, and were the only undefeated team. If everything was exactly the same and TCU’s jerseys said “Oklahoma,” or OSU’s jerseys said “Northwestern,” they never would have gotten the opportunity.
What happened last night was that #5/#6 upset #3. It happens sometimes.
What games were you watching? ‘Bama the best defense? OU “gifted” with 5 turnover? Whatever your drinking must be some strong stuff.
