Game Thread: Up next for Oklahoma/@Iowa State/Is there a more lopsided conference series than this??

[GNG]

17 years now for OUs last natty?

I was only 20 then.

 

[GNG]

So, when's the next train to scenario village supposed to run?

 

[socaljim242]

Swim already jim?

Already with the goggles I see...

OU may very well be lower than SC come the next polls, but your reasoning is what I'm talking about.

You fail to mention the quality win on the road vs Ohio State in your reasoning, who has SC beat, better yet who have they beat on the road?

Had their only loss been to Stanford for instance, I would say absolutely. Then they would have that quality win on the road in the books over WSU like OU's over tOSU.

Besides, how many sports writers even watch the PAC after dark?

Well both teams have one loss. One has one to a team who's #11 at the moment and on the road. The other has one to an unranked at home. Plus you're win in week two against a good team doesn't offset your loss at home to an unranked team four weeks later. If it was the other way around yes. Early losses are forgiven .You're either getting better or you're getting worse.

I can’t believe this result at home. My wife and I ran out to meet some friends and then ran a couple errands. I had been watching the game and when we left ISU had kicked a field goal to make it 16-24. I about shit when I saw the final score.

My condolence @SJ76

We weren't 30 point favorites bud. Actually 3 point underdogs

Tough year. We are loaded but no QB

Guess we see it differently.

SC loss was just a week ago, and they got the 12th team in the PAC this week at home so who knows if they are getting better.

Don't be disappointed if the Trojans are still behind the Sooners when the polls come out. They are still without a quality win this year and skipping UW does them no favors because they really don't have much ahead outside of Utah and Notre Dame. Hopefully for SC sake, those two schools keep balling.

Eventually it will all shake out, just don't know if it will shake out in SC favor as early as this week.

Your season is playing out a bit like UCLA's last year. Once Rosen went down for the season in game 4 the Bruins won just 1 of their final 8 remaining games.

3-1 with Rosen, 1-7 without. (And that 1 loss with Rosen came in OT where the WR dropped a perfect pass in the endzone to force a 2nd OT)

Oh I'm not betting on it and it really doesn't mater right now . Lots of games to play. I'm just saying its should be that way. You cant lose to an unranked team at home in week six and point to a win in week two as a reason not to drop you past a team who also only has one loss but it's to a team ranked and at their house. Remember Ohio State was only favored by a TD, in this game Oklahoma was favored by at least 30. USC was only giving up 3 points to WSU. So Oklahoma loss was a major one. Just shit to talk about.

I guess winning at home in a double OT effort to an unranked and very bad Texas team and all is forgiven?

I just think you are narrowing the records based on each teams losses and not looking at the quality of wins.

SC should have stomped UT at home, and they barely escaped with a win.

Everyone except maybe Alabama will have close calls even against teams the should beat easy. But losing one of those sticks out a lot. Did anyone care Clemson only beat Troy by 6 points at home last year? It's the loss to Pitt that was their one hiccup. Oklahoma and USC are close if they both win out but if they get to that point USC will have to beat an unbeaten and probably ranked top 4 Washington. Then you compare the one loss. USC to a ranked team at their house and Oklahoma at home to an unranked team. But thats in the event they both win out. They could both lose again so it's just talk right now.

Good point, no one cared by years end.

Don't know the week after they beat them though....

Like I said, it will all sort out soon enough.

This is just the AP poll for now anyhow, we are still weeks away the Committee's Poll.

 

[smilesid]

Why does a game in which Oklahoma gets schooled always put a smile on my face. Oh yes, now I remember.

well my weekend was made.

Dirt burglars lose, aggy loses, and Texas won......guess I'll go polish off a bottle of whiskey and call it a day

 

[Peter Gozintite]

I almost never give a shit about game threads. This was greater than the game.

 

[BigAppleBadger]

lol @outofyourmind

 

[lilchi721]

Texas won.

You won against a team that lost to the worst team in the SEC East in Vanderbilt.

I would take Vandy over Kentucky or Missouri.
