Playoff rankings are hooey, Big 12 chances riding on the Sooners in Waco

by

The Sooners did what they needed to do against the Cyclones last Saturday night. Despite a lackluster 2nd quarter they torched Iowa St. 52-16. The offensive hummed along and the defense was stout.

Now we move on to bigger and hopefully better things.

But before we do, let me share a few thoughts I have about the week two Playoff Committee Rankings. What a load of horsesh!t. Look, I realize the rankings mean nothing until the final week, but some of the stuff coming out of this committee is just laughable.

And while it is very rare for me to say anything in defense of our little brother pokie state, they are getting the shaft. They have a better win than any win from Stanford, Iowa, Notre Dame or Baylor. And all those teams are ranked ahead of them. And two of them have LOST already. osu is UNDEFEATED.

And if that wasn’t crazy enough, this is what the committee chairman Jeff Long said when asked if Stanford’s high ranking was because they were being given somewhat of a pass on their loss to Northwestern because it was played at 9am Pacific Time. “Absolutely,” Long said. “Yeah, I think that it’s a significant thing.”…..What the actually f$&k!!!

What we learned from a 41-12 loss to Baylor

No, not because of Stoops’ defensive play calling. And, not really because of his defense at all, although his squad’s tackling skills became suspect later in the game.

Rather, it was the Oklahoma offense that exposed the Sooners as they went down to a disgusting defeat – the fourth worst in Coach Bob Stoops’ tenure and the last game they will ever play at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas.

The offense was pretty offensive, challenging the officials to throw their flags and throw them often. Dropping passes. Tossing interceptions (2). Not converting on third downs.

And, most importantly, the Oklahoma offense appeared lacking in any semblance of a game plan. Was it to run between the tackles? Was it to pass on the perimeter? What was it exactly?
