We’re a fringe top 10 team at best.

I had a lot of hope after PSU lost...that's all gone now.

We have no business in the CFP. Hell, we might not want to go to the Sugar either.

I don't see our defense getting that much better next year either unless Grinch/Manning get some slick bagmen with fat sacks.

Agree. Definitely not one of the best 4 teams in the country. I know we are spoiled with our last 2 quarterbacks, but Hurts just makes some bad choices.

Offense: We gained 25 yards and 1 first down in the 4th quarter against Iowa State. Impressive, Lincoln. Your offense keeps getting derailed. Kinda like that Ferrari that won't start when the temperature starts dropping too low. And our QB keeps making horrible decisions. I'm an F-bomb expert but when something is bad enough for my wife to say "shit", it's bad........real bad.

Defense: Urban Meyer is a sorry excuse for a white man but he is a good football coach. He made an emphatic point a few weeks ago that Oklahoma is way, way under-talented on D. It's actually embarrassing to watch them. But want to get really confused? Our recruiting commitments are totally weighted toward the offense. We have 17 total commitments and only 5 are defensive players. WTF?

Face it: the program is stuck in a rut and and we are light years away from being a National Championship caliber team.

I have no expectations left.

Its a liberating feeling really....not expecting a goddamn thing.

Just going to try and enjoy football in general.

I don't really care too much for the pros and haven't for a long time.

If I lose enthusiasm about cf, I guess I could take up some more hobbies?

Riley has a tough choice to make.

If he's as good as we think he is, he should be able to do more with less talent offensively than most any other coach...right?

So, he's going to have to shift the recruiting focus to the defensive side of the ball. More travel hours, more visits, more offers, etc. He really doesn't have any choice, and the logical choice would be to do just that.

The offensive players are going to come, enticed by playing in Riley's scheme that is getting a lot of dudes into the NFL. We gotta start selling Grinch/Manning/Odom/Thibs HARD. Keep those guys on the road and let Cale take a few weekends off...he's earned it?

If we win out it’s 50/50 between us and the PAC champ. We’d get steam rolled but we’d have a good shot to get #4.

Here comes the defensive studs...I might have to recalculate my belief on when we are a legitimate threat to compete for NCs.

The defense is much improved from last year (not that it was too hard to get better than last year). I believe Grinch can get the defense championship ready in another year or 2.

Well, you can’t attribute all those points from Baylor and TCU to the defense. Those games included a pick six and multiple turnovers with a short field.

I'm torn right now. I hate Oregon so I'd be delighted to see them get clown stomped by Utah......but that would not be to OU's benefit. And I hate LSU but I'd like to see Georgia lose because that would help OU. Baylor is scum so no reason not to want to beat them like a red headed stepchild. But getting into the Playoff is just going to get us another beatdown because I still don't believe our D can stop a truly elite team. And winning a Sugar Bowl is nice but it just adds to our long string of seasons where we didn't win another NC. Bottom line: let Utah have it and let's go recruit some defensive players that won't waste Spencer Rattler's time at OU.
