Hopefully we can return the favor this season. I never felt good about that game. Feel better this time, but will know more after spring practice.
Columbus Police will make sure Mayfield is out.:D

Yeah, Ohio state didn't even play in their own conf title game this year and still got in the playoff.

Alabama went to the BCS title game back when only two were chosen and didn't even win their own division let alone conference and I personally agreed with the decision.

Since WWII
Oklahoma in Norman
84% Winning Percentage at Home
Winning Percentage 1946-2016

That's nothing to sneeze at.
Has to be the toughest place for an opponent.

Yes.
OU is #1 in winning percentage at home: Oklahoma 324-60-3
But, they haven't exactly played the toughest opponents.
OU ranks #43 in the # T10 opponents played at home with 34.
OU ranks #49 in the # Yr ranked opponents played at home with 73.
OU ranks #58 in the # Opponents with D1A winning records played at home with 175.

@Gator
How does that stack up against the other all time top 10 teams, as a percentage.
And I'm thinking that playing less home games is going to move you down that list, maybe I'm wrong.

Besides Death Valley, from the ones I've been to it would have to be:
1. FSU 2. South Carolina 3. Georgia 4. VT 5. GT

With the Chop, FSU can take the slightest momentum and multiple it by 10. It can be overwhelming if your team don't contain it.

It can get pretty loud in the stadium.

Eccels Stadium. Just being a homer though.
