As to the OP, I only have this to say: Why can't both teams lose?

Wait
Georgia scores an average of 36 points a game vs the SEC and the Big XII doesn't play defense.

Got It.

No I'm not. Don't you have a Penn State trash talk thread to be at?
There's really nothing to trash talk Penn st about that hasn't already been said a thousand times.

Once again, it's not a BS narrative if it's true. 3 non-conference games and 9 conference games. Once Big 12 teams play each other, defense goes out the window. Once again, that's not a knock on the Big 12 or the teams that play in the Big 12. That's just the nature of that conference.
Top offenses after 5 weeks

Total Defense Rankings:

TCU 19th
Texas 42nd
Iowa state 46th
Oklahoma 57th
Oklahoma State 74th
Kansas State 97th
Texas Tech 99th
West Virginia 110th
Baylor 112th
Kansas 117th

It's not a knock on Oklahoma or the Big 12, but NO Big 12 team can have an argument that they have a good defense while playing in the Big 12.

That's also against Big 12 offenses.

I've stated that already. My point is that you can't judge a Big 12 team based on defense. Like I've stated 3 times already, no knock on OU or ANY Big 12 team because that's how the Big 12 conference is. It's high scoring.

I mean the best case scenario for him in this game is not getting hurt and killing his draft status. We all know he ain't gonna win.

It would probably be best for the Sooners going forward to get Kyler Murray some meaningful snaps too.

So, I say yes.

Because OU won't need Baker to get the W?

I agree. Different types of teams in different conferences makes it difficult to compare stats.

Can someone send a memo to the CFP committee?

There are two sides to the ball last time I checked.

No, he should not. Could be a final chance for him to prove once again that he's a 1st round QB.

Clearly Mississippi State's mascot, dunce. Uga has no brown.
That's right. Forgot how many SEC teams have the same mascot.

SEC: 14 teams, 9 Mascots....

Cool story bro. B1G and SEC don’t play offense. In the mean time TCU had a top 4 defense before Oklahoma played them, Texas ranks 30 in yards allowed per play after running through the big 12 including holding Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to their lowest point totals of the season, oh and that Ohio State team they took behind the woodshed is a top 10 D and ranks 5th in yards per play allowed.

So spare me your BS narrative that Oklahoma hasn’t faced any teams that play defense, especially in conference.



That OSU top ten ranking D is a result of an average ranking of 82 in opponents total offense
