Game Thread: Oklahoma - Oklahoma State

[Timberline Tide]

Now I can pull for LSU --- but never the barn. (ala last year)

just thugs of a slightly different stripe

Still hopefull, but this is a worst case scenario.

How come no one is saying that OSU let it slip away by losing to a crappy unranked ISU team?

When all the teams were undefeated, LSU/Bama were considered the top 2. Now that everyone but LSU has one loss, the 2 best teams are still LSU/Bama.

Because this is the real world where right and fair don't matter. You know there's bias. You can't control what others think or do, all you can do is take care of your own business. It's exactly what Saban preaches all the time. Take care of yourself and everything else will work out and Alabama didn't do it.

Someone asked Edwards on Twitter what was his % on Bama-LSU rematch. He said he was at 60%. That's not the 95% he said last week, but it is far from over people.

For the record, Tiger Droppings is loving our meltdown about today.

 

[JeffAtlanta]

LOL - yeah. I don't think I've ever seen so much hang-wringing in one thread.

 

[BamaFlum]

Did Landry Jones study "shaving" at Tulane?

Seriously, this looks bad...even fishy. Does the NC game get more money than the other BCS bowls?

 

[day-day]

OU has a horrible defensive line.

 

[efd840]

Double post was an accident.

Does this feel like the Barn back when they got left out to anyone? Remember they got snubbed with several first rounders (Cadillac, Brown, Rogers, Cambell, etc) and USC layed a beat down on Okie similar to the beat down they are getting tonight. Granted, USC may still have won, but the Barn wouldn't have lost by 50 points or whatever it was.

Tweet from Edwards:

Pokes will need approximately 45 of 174 voters to rank them No. 2. Most anti-rematch sentiment will be in Harris poll.

True.

 

[RollTide2U]

For crying out loud.......give it up!

THANK YOU!! Let's get a grip on the gloom and doom here. OU is obviously beating themselves more than OSU is beating them. I'm 99% certain that some on here are overreacting.

Then they are going to really hate what's going to happen tomorrow night.

 

[BEATtutorsee]

If the voters put Okie State ahead of us they might as well go ahead and give LSU the crystal trophy, because LSU will absolutely destroy them. There is absolutely no way this game suddenly makes them one of the top two teams in the country IMHO, hopefully the majority of voters will understand that as well.

Probably happy they don't have to play Bama again. I would rather Bama get a BCSNC game against Okie St than this years LSWHO any day.

Not at all. Let's let it play out tomorrow.

Is it certain that OSU will become 2 in the computers?

Because the whole point is we left it up to voters.

Had we beat LSU, we'd be where they are - zero question. We lost, so we're not - our future is in the hands of the voters.

I still think we end up #2, but if we don't, fine. We had our chance and blew it.
