What I am saying is that Stoops and the polls have people giving them way too much credit year in and year out.

I watch the games and notice trends.

If you need 2 yards in a big game, OU will get you 3. If you need 4 yards in a big game, OU will get you 3.

OU rarely proves that they are worthy of a top 10 ranking over the past 7 years or so.

True top 10 teams will lose games. Even to teams they shouldn't lose to. But TRUE top 10 teams don't get dominated in areas on the field.

When OU loses a battle from unit to unit it's not just losing, it's getting dominated. Wether it's on the offensive line, or defensive back field or even the D line. (I've seen all of the above)

And, fine. That's what happens. You can't be top 10 caliber every year. But OU get's that ranking all the time. Which would make me think that they are that good. And then I watch a game like the Baylor game last year. Sure, RG3 is a talented guy but we couldn't keep him off the field with sustained drives because we couldn't run the ball. AGAINST BAYLOR. RG3 didn't play defense. Sure they had 150 yards rushing (as did Baylor) but when they needed the small yards on short yardage they couldn't get it. And Blake bell had to run 4 TDs because OU can't run between the tackles. And I think how the hell OU is supposed to be a top ranked team? They seem to play down to the level of teams more than any other team I watch.

Such is the nature of college football. I tend to want to watch someone 'Win it all'. I don't care much for winning a local conference, league, or division. I want to watch a team win all they can possibly win. Finish on top of everyone. (Which is why the NFL is better to me) NO points for second place.

I guess I'm tired of watching OU be the team that finishes lower than where they start more than any other team out there.

EDIT: I"d love to see a poll of teams that finish lower and higher than they start in the rankings each year.

you know if it works it works why not do it lol but I keep asking myself hey DEFENSE look Blake Bell is coming on the field wonder what the next 2 to 5 plays will be ughhhhhh run lol


Stick a linebacker on him. Soon or later against a big opponent someone is going to light him up.

in the mean time I dont blame them I guess for doing it if it works.

This I agree with. How many teams each year does OU come in as the underdog? One maybe? Teams like OU always have a target on their back. We're the team everyone circles on their schedule as "the" team to beat. Few teams in college football have expectations as high as we do. It's a result of 70 years of domination. How many other teams would you trade places with? This year's team is average. They'll still win 10 games but they're not world beaters.

Many of our good players come from Tejas yes, but 4/5 GREAT players (read Heisman winners) come from Oklahoma.

Billy Vessels, Cleveland, Oklahoma
Steve Owens, Miami, Oklahoma
Billy Sims, Hooks, Texas (practically Oklahoma lol)
Jason White, Tuttle, Oklahoma
Sam Bradford, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

By contrast, only half of your two Heisman winners come from Texas

HOLY SHIT.........

If OU could run the ball they could win the clock and keep offenses off the field. The best defense for OU right now would be a running game on offense.

DIVII defenses make exciting games. lol

A game that had more than 1400 yards from straight offense OU managed 106 yards rushing. (that's WITH a 48 yard long)

I hope for a running game for them next year. And hopefully another offseason with the defense Mile Stoops can figure this out.
