I don't see how you can't pick OU unless you are just not aware of our lifetime record against them.

Yeah... OU could forfeit the game, and I still wouldn't be confident that ISU would win.

Agree.

More variance for which team would be second (although I'd guess a lot of us would choose K-State, then probably Texas).

National Championship, Duh.

Hell Yeah!

I'd take OU as well. They're picked to win the Big 12 by most places. If we beat them this year it would be arguably a bigger win than the Okie State game three years ago.

First off, I pick OU.

Secondly addressing this. It would take a lot for that upset to be bigger. OSU had more or less coasted through the season, had a high powered offense that many thought could beat the SEC team they'd play in the national championship they were cruising to and (I believe) only had one game after us to wait it out and see who they'd play in the title. And we beat them. In double overtime. On national television. And almost single-handily destroyed the future of the BCS and created the start of the college football playoffs. While OU would be awesome to beat, I don't think some people realize the huge implications of us beating OSU that night and how it helped change the landscape of postseason play on the game.
