OUInsider - Owen Field

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Oregon passes us in the BCS this week if they win. They are fairly close, and they are behind because of the computer poll avg. That will bump up close to ours, and since they are higher in the human polls and likely to gain a few additional votes from us for us having a bye week. But this is the best situation for us. I think a win over an undefeated OSU at the end will vault us back ahead.

Every poll with people have Oregon above us, but "forever" I believe you are correct. Our only hope is that osu continues to win, and so does Florida State. They may be our saving grace. Wins on the road against top 25 are key. Beating fsu, ksu, baylor, osu all on the road is our only way in...

You might be right we will have to wait and see how it shakes out. I think Oregon is going to be one spot ahead of us in both the Harris and USA polls. I do think however that the computers like us a little better than they do Oregon. I think the BCS is going to look like this after this week ends games. 1. LSU, 2. Okie St, 3. Alabama, 4. OU, 5. Oregon, 6. Arkansas.
With Alabama in the number three spot it’s going to be one of those years if everybody except OSU wins out. There will be a lot of speculation by all the talking heads but it will come down to will the voters vote in a team that didn’t win its conference or play in its championship game. Also how high will they vote us for beating the number two team in the BCS.
There is a lot of football still to take place and all the speculation this time of the year will come to knot by the end of the year most likely. I think there is a good chance that LSU will drop a game before the year is over. They still have to play Arkansas who is starting to play some pretty good football of late. If they make it past Arkansas it looks like they will have to play Georgia in the Championship game and they are starting to look pretty good. I think the best thing that could happen as far as we are concerned would be for Arkansas to beat LSU late in the year and bring who goes to the championship game into question. Then have whoever goes to the championship game get beat by Georgia. If that happens I don’t see how they could vote a two loss team in or for that matter a one loss team that didn’t get to go to the championship game that the team that beat them got beat in.
Yep a lot of football left and nothing to do but to ride this old horse until it drops or we cross the finish line. Tell me one more time just how did we let TT beat us to put us in this mess in the first place?

I don't like that Sagarin poll at all. Why does its seem like OU gets screwed more than anybody for a bye week?

Never in my life have I rooted for USC, but will be next week. I also agree with the possibility of Arkansas beating LSU.

I am one big time fickle routers. Last night for the first time in a long time I was a big time Oregon backer in that game. Now I’m a big USC fan when they play Oregon. I’m also a big Arkansas and Georgia fan if and when they play either Alabama or LSU. In fact for the foreseeable future I’m a big fan of whoever is playing Oregon, Alabama and LSU.

Yep, that just about sums it up.

We lost to Lubbock Community College, We don't deserve a national championship.

Let it go already. It's in the past, can't change it now. Nobody deserves anything. You have to earn it over the entire season. And by winning out, we would be in that conversation of who has earned that right.
