And like I said, you're crazy if you think defeating Tulane is the same as defeating Auburn.

Spare us the "SEC is oh so mighty" BS. Boise blew away Oregon St 42-14, the same Oregon St. that beat USC. USC was kinda impressive today, yes? And when they blew out SEC West champ Ark. And hey, how did Tenn. and Ark. do today? Auburn was handed a squeaker win by lousy Nebraska coaching (4-loss, now 5-loss Nebraska) that was spanked by the same OU that just lost to Boise St.

Maybe if more SEC teams would get away from their 7 home game schedule and play a few more decent non-conference teams ya'll would better understand how good some of those teams from other conferences are. Which of course is why most SEC teams duck tough non-conference games.

Yes, Oklahoma played a tougher schedule. And yet they lost to a supposedly "inferior" team. Champions find a way to win, even against inferior opponents. Oklahoma did not.

Yes, Oklahoma was the better team on paper, but football isn't played on paper and, in the end, the only thing that matters in any game is who scored the most points. That's why they actually play the game. Show me all the stats you like about how much better Oklahoma is and I'll just go back to the only stat that really matters: BSU 43, OSU 42.
