This is why Oklahoma should have been in the playoffs

[Wishbone]

The Sooners at least have the ability to score 3 touchdowns on anybody. At least make for an entertaining game.

 

[Gatorchip]

The gators too. Yes that's it.

The problem was and still remains the polls. Not seeing a way to improve writers and coaches opinions, I suggest an 8 team playoff system.

OSU and Houston certainly don't agree and for sure the committee didn't. Not sure about UA yet but hope you can win that one.

No matter how many teams there are someone will be complaining. The committee got #1/2 right. #3/4 doesn't really matter. Could have been several good teams.

Who is selected in the field or which team is complaining is not the point of allowing more teams into the playoffs. I didn't address the validity of the OP saying the sooners should have been there instead of tOSU. But with 8 teams we would most likely have found out. Get over the part of who is complaining.

The point of expanding the playoff format is taking the teams that performed very well over the season and letting them prove who is capable of the best performances in December after the wear and tear of the season. After the players are comfortable with each other. After everyone's systems are second nature.

4 teams is not enough of a representation of who's out there with the potential to be great.

Why? Because the team that bent us over to table earlier this year just got skunked by the team that beat us and knocked out 5 of our starters in last year's playoff? Let just hope for a sugar bowl win and cap off this awesome recruiting class strong.

72-21 is not entertaining.

Perhaps you believe 1/2 were right, because 3/4 were wrong.

 

[Wishbone]

All Im saying is that after starting 1-2 OU got better each and every week. That's what good teams do they improve as the season goes on. OU is not the same team now as when they started the year. Mayfield/Westbrook/Perine/Mixon can put us points.

Not what I believe. Facts are what they are. 3/4 could be a number of good teams. 1/2 won out fairly.

We'll find out. I do feel there's a good chance the Houston game was an outlier, but we haven't faced a quality defense since Ohio state. Best one was probably either Kansas state or okie lite, and neither are anything close to what they'll face Monday. Let's just wait and see how they handle that team, before popping off. If they do what they should, they'll build momentum for a run next year.

Maybe...or maybe you replaced Ohio St with Kansas as the season went on. Padding stats against shitty teams doesn't make your team better. Get back to us after Monday about how much your team has improved.

POINTS? You have missed the point. Yes they can put up points but failing to do so early cost you to the point of no return.

Some years 3,4 can make a title run, but not this year. It will go back and forth, but we don't need 8 teams.

Could not agree more.

Fucking Excellent Point.

First I'll say....Bama is a cut above probably everyone and everyone else is competing for a chance at upsetting them.

But I'm not sure we had the four best teams in the hunt this year. For instance, LSU looked damn good over UoL. If LSU is in the hunt, Fournette plays.

This year the B10 was considered the best conference. Are we all that sure now? If we have conference strength wrong, then we don't have the four best teams competing for the National Championship. I'm saying we are more likely to see the 4 best teams in the playoffs with an 8 team format. I'm not getting why we wouldn't want that.?,

I disagree with all of this.
