I think OK ST would struggle with Stanford.
The Big 10 was down, the Big East was down, the Pac 10 was down, etc. They beat the **** out of Baylor 59-24 who you like. They put up 52 against K State who is a top 10 team. They beat OK 44-10 when they were ranked in the top 10. They played 3 games all season that they didnt dominate. How many teams didnt have multiple losses?

You can have another chance to lose money betting against them against Stanford

Do you think they are better then Bame or LSU? Even if Im wrong about them and everything else, the bottom line is are they better then those 2 teams? I think Bama's loss was A LOT BETTER THEN OK ST LOSS.

You cant argue for a playoff system then talk about "better" losses. My point has always been that I and many others are tired of a system in which losses are ranked, teams are ranked, schedules are ranked, conferences are ranked, etc. It shouldnt matter who we think is better, we should let them prove it on the field.

Most seem to ignore that they lost after a tragedy that very morning involving the athletic department. It was awful, and that is THE reason they lost that game. OSU would never come out and say that, but it is true. Anyone that follows the program knows the mood of the team that night. It is a much better loss than losing on your home field while have ZERO offense.
