from 1 to 10 how big of an upset would it be if OU beat Bama?

Lets think about this. OU shouldn't have beaten Oklahoma State, especially in Stillwater. OU has so many starters with injuries that it barely resembles the same team from day one. Hell OU from week 4 had a better chance than now. Here's how I see it, right now OU could lose to just about anyone who resembles a decent team. If Bama loses to the Sooners, in my mind this would be bigger than Utah. This is NOT a good OU team and with all the injuries and players being booted off there's no reason why Bama should't win handily. Either way, I'm excited to play Bama, anything can happen.

I'll give it a 5. Would be a mild upset. Bama is banged up too. Down to two safeties and one of them(HaHa) played the Iron Bowl with a torn meniscus. Cornerback play has been the worst it's been since 2007. Run blocking has been the worst it's been since 2007. Far too many negative plays. WR's have had the dropsies. RB's have had ball security issues.

Oklahoma is a good team, wouldn't shock me at all if they won.

Seems like the disconnect between the two highlighted phrases would make it around a 9+.

I understand what you are saying, but I think the big difference between an OU win this year vs. the Utah win a couple of years ago is that OU has a history of being a damn good team. Utah has never really been considered a threat, even though they have had some good teams over the years. People just think of the school name, and don't take all of the other stuff into consideration.

Yea this is the worst team we have had since Sabans first year.

7 or higher.
A 45-17 type of score in favor if Bama would not be surprising.

OU this year is good but this is also the worst the B12 has been in awhile. They got smoked by an alright Texas team and got shut down completely by Baylor. They don't do anything particularly well. I don't think it will necessarily be 45-17, but 40-21 wouldn't surprise me.

8.

9 out of 10 is saved for 2007 Stanford/USC kind of games with 30+ point spreads and 10 out of 10 is reserved for FCS schools beating major schools like Appalachian St vs Michigan

Imo, of course

It would be an upset for sure, and lots of money would be lost in Vegas, but I don't think it would rank up there with some of the big upsets in the past.

I don't think Bama is anything as strong as the prior years...

OU is a completely one-dimensional team, riddled with injuries, has a history of the choke, and Saban has a month to prepare.

This would be an upset of 8/10 proportions.
