OU is 11-1, there are only 5 other teams with equal or better records.

They lost to Oregon (with a little help from the refs) and to Texas. That's 2 in the loss column, not 1.

Gator fan checking in. Enough of the appetizers, let's get on with the main course. The Gators are the underdogs and they should be. But that's OK, it will be decided on the field and not by public opinion:-)

Whad up Al?

More than a little help from the refs, the 2 blown calls on the same play stole the game. Even disregarding the wrong call on the touch before 10-yards (the correct call would have given OU the ball) OU still recovered the onside kick, yet the refs awarded the ball to Oregon. If the ball had been awarded to OU, they only had to kneel down and the clock runs out, end of story.

Colorado didn't win the 5th down game, and Oregon didn't win the OU game. OU in truth had only 1-loss going into the Fiesta Bowl. For the record, I'm a Sooner-hating Longhorn.
