Because you ignore 11 other games to prop up your theory that they are overrated. They wiped out a bunch of pretty good teams including Oklahoma in a game where you said they had no shot.

I liked Oklahoma and bet them. Just like I bet Baylor against OK ST. I was wrong. My problem is overall the Big 12 or whatever its called was down. Texas, OU and Baylor all had multiple losses. Do you really think OK ST would be within 10 points of LSU or Bama? Im not an SEC homer at all, but I just think this year those 2 teams are much better then OK ST. 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.

Yup I get the emotional time for the school talk, I really do. They were still 31 point favorites. My point is this.... Whos loss is better Bama or OK ST? I dont even think there can be an argument to that question.

If you keep asking that question, you really don't get the emotional part, you just don't.

Let me ask this, who has better wins?

Thats not a clear cut answer either. All the "good" teams in the Big 12 sucked this year. Texas, OU?? THey have been horrible.

OU is 9-3 and they are horrible? They weren't typical OU, but they were far from horrible. They lost to a very good Baylor team and a stinker to Tech. OSU destroyed them. The loss of Broyles really hurt them the last three games. Beating Texas in Austin handily is not easy even when they are down. For being horrible, they were ranked all year long until losing the last few.

Kansas St. is also very good. Undoubtedly they should be in the Sugar Bowl instead of Virginia Tech...that is a joke. The ACC is a joke when it comes to football these days, and I'm a Maryland fan.

You are easy to figure out though. Rather than try to figure out good wins by Alabama, you deflect. They had 1.5 decent wins...Arkansas and 1/2 for Penn St.

you aren't supposed to just consider the one loss. from what i've heard/read, ok st had a tougher overall schedule. they also played one game more than bama, and won a traditionally tough game that they lose far more often than they win. they really took it to okla the other night. voters are supposed to pay attention to the season-much like eclipse voters, they evidently only pay attention to a big matchup.

Im really not sure why everyone keeps talking about OK St schedule, basicley everyone sucked this year other then the SEC. Everyone was down. Back to the OK ST loss. I bet the game its in the upset special thread. I bet Iowa St. I saw every play. I get the tragedy the day before and its very sad, it was a great loss to the program. But OK St was a 31 point favorite. Even if they bring there C game, they are supposed to win. The QB had at least 3 interceptions, I was not impressed.

The tragedy wasn't the day before, they found out that morning. Who gives a **** if you bet it? You were dumb enough to bet OU against them.
