“How Oklahoma got elevated in the rankings after being beaten by TCU’s team (If you watched the game TCU made Oklahoma its bitch the entire second half with a third string quarterback and would have certainly won in overtime), but handed a victory by TCU’s coach, is a mystery. Clemson had a weak schedule and might not have even gotten by NC without a bad offsides call on the on-side kick. Ohio is a better team than either Clemson or Oklahoma, and a few others probably are, too, including Stanford.”
You must have forgotten that OU was pounding TCU throughout the first half. The only way TCU got back into the game was through a despicable targeting infraction that took the OU quarterback out for part of the 2nd quarter and the entire second half. Or, the fact that OU played without their two starting halfbacks, Mixon and Perine, most of the third quarter. When all three were in the game, there was no question who was the better team.
BTW, most of the commentators I’ve heard have professed tha OU is the most “dangerous” team in the playoffs. I’ve not heard anyone use the term “dangerous” while talking about Stanford.
BTW, “Ohio” plays in the Mid American Conference and went 8-4.
You know I was referring to OSU. I saw the TCU hit, and it wasn’t “targeting”. The fact is that “dangerous” OU was outplayed by a team that had a 3rd string QB..and it’s Heisman possible WR was out, too. Everybody plays with injuries. I think OU would struggle against Arkansas. OU is only “dangerous” in that it is a good enough team to spoil any team’s day if the team is not playing well. But that is true of a lot of teams. OU doesn’t belong, and elevating it after the TCU game makes one think someone was paid off (just being hyperbolic. I’m sure no money changed hands...). I do think OU is probably better than Clemson.
