NICE thread here, thanks! i have to say that even though im not a texas or OU fan, that it was a travesty that OU got bumped up above texas! texas beat them good head to head and even though it was a while ago, texas was just as impressive beating up texas a&m and they USED to be quite a powerhouse! this just goes to show all that is wrong with the BCS and why we need a playoff system..
I dont think ANYONE beats the gators though!
It was all for UT to take. 10+6=? Lets put it this way, 16 points from a loss to a loss! 10 points for UT and 6 points for TT!
OU? By 44 points over #2 TT! Ouch! lamo-tex!
Almost every sports professional and at unanimous opinions at the NFL and NCAA level has said that OU has not only come back since UT but are playing at a level seldom seen in CFB! Considered to be one of the best Offenses in quite some time. The defense has gotten way better and definitely played way better, considering a no-huddle offense like this at OU! Demarco Murray is out as well as Marcus (DT)Granger. Thing is, Murray and Granger haven't seen much time all along the season...Reynolds was out early as well. I guess it really has had very little if any effect since then...so much for Sooner Depth! Murray and Granger will be back next season! Word is that Bradford may more than likely return as well!
I think that OU has some inflated stats by plsying defenses ranked in the 70's. Not to say that they are not a good offense but putting up 60 a week on those kinds of defenses isn't very hard. Just look at the Big XII rankings in total defense. I think Florida will have plenty of defense to shut them down and they definately have the speed on offense to get by a defense ranked in the 60's or 70's.
Just a little info for the readers. Check out this site and see where the defenses from the SEC rank and then compare it to the defenses of the Big XII. This should put inro perspective of why Ok scores so many points. Florida isn't that far behind them in total offense and yet they played MANY top 25 defenses.

Well Life, I'll look at the Final Top 25! UF has three opponents still left there for Bowl season and OU still has five in the Top 25! Stats are good but in retrospect as you said, even is good or balanced. Looks like we played more ranked teams and won! We did this without three top national recruits for about 60% of the season! :ghostface:

Reason: point in mind...excuse me!
This is what I love about football. We can debate til we are blue in the face but it will all come down to one game and then one of us will be right. I wish you guys luck. Florida is our rival like no other but we stick together when one of ours own is representing the SEC. With the exception of Bama but I have other reasons why I can't pull for them, cough cough, Saban, cough.
Thanks for the list. Love bowl season. It's getting annoying how corporate sponsors are sneeking their way into the names. PapaJohns.com bowl? seriously?
