Oklahoma will surprise everyone with slow methodical 7 minute drives, keeping Tua and company on the bench. When OU is on defense, any deep shots by Bama will result in immediately tackling the WR, a PI is better than a quick TD. Blitz often and from anywhere, nothing to lose at this point...
After seeing what a speed guy can do to a defense I hope OU is able to secure two or three of them each recruiting class. Dede flatout broke the spirits of DBs.
If Oklahoma continues to establish the run, OU will get opportunities for Westbrook to have a career night. WV wants to stop the run but OUs OL will not yield. Late the 4th OU should have Mixon and Perine going long.
OU defense will need to find that spark and get two turnovers to walkout with...
Then Stoops should fake a health condition and retire for a year, only to reappear and start coaching USC. Win back to back Nattys, get a side piece and a motorbike, sleep with the assistant coaches wives, and snort blow out of Hillary's ass while bill films the whole thing.
Curveball. How far would Alabama fall if they lose their CCG by 1 point in regulation? Washington is undefeated, Clemson is undefeated, Michigan is undefeated and the 4th slot open to a 1 loss team?
You can only play the teams on the schedule. You can't control how they will play as the season progresses. Who knew Stanford and Oregon were going to be trash? I guarantee no one knew A&M was going to be as good except Sooner fans. :-)
Also, the same SEC bias that has A&M in the 4th slot, is...
The way I see it, two P5 teams are fighting for one slot, the first thing I'm going to look at is who doesn't have a loss. Washington goes in the slot. No need to look further. When a win is trumped by other factors, the system is fucked.
