OU would roll the hawkeyes

Herbstreit said in his opinion that OU's better wins than ND has would outweigh OU's "bad" loss compared with ND's "good" loss.

I'm not saying the committee will agree with that, but that was Herbstreit's opinion on it.

We'll see. It'll be close if ND and OU win out. I could see either getting in.

ND is a bigger draw than OK, and they lost to no.1 Clemson not crappy Texas. Its an easy in for ND if they win out. OSU could jump ND if they win out. OU needs someone in the top 4 to lose.

Probley right. I have stated elsewhere that it wouldn't bother me if the B12 got left out. We need to make changes and I hope that will force the issues.

TCU had the best loss by far last year among one loss teams and it did exactly ZERO for them. They preferred the team with a loss at home to a team comparable to to Texas this year in quality.

I'm sure this year will be different though. Also have to remember Stanford still a one loss team since they flew a long way for one of their losses.

Against a team that has had injuries all year and lost the last two weeks to OSU by 28-14 and Michigan on the last play of the game. Probably wrong but I thought Minnesota looked pretty solid. ESP liked how physical their DBS were and liked the play calling by their OC. To digress, I enjoy watching football where the outcome does not determine my mood depending on the outcome. Also recorded the Stanford/Oregon game and flipped back and forth to OU/Bay. One thing I came away from is that it seems as though there have been more evenly matched teams and games this year than in awhile. Did not watch but it appears that TCU had a bit of a problem w KU.

ISU is better than Minnesota

And that Stanford loss to NW was also a game that started at 9 AM Pacific time.

Yeah we need clarification if it's 9am internal clock games only that don't count, or if it's all games two time zones away.

Ohio State has a win over Hawaii that needs to be vacated and Notre Dame needs to vacate their 10 point home win against USC...that's actually further away than Palo Alto to Evanston. Gonna be hard for Notre Dame to get in with 11 games while other teams played 13.

And yet, I would trade places in a heartbeat. It sucks, because the talent gap between our teams in minimal, but they finish games (albeit against much weaker competition), and we can't.

Ok. I'm confused. Where the talent gap minimal? QB? DL? LB? WR? RB? DB? Punter? Kicker?

Other than at WR, the talent gap is pretty wide

ISU really needs to start building teams from the lines out

I'm not saying there isn't a talent gap. But when they lined up head to head, ISU looked like the better team the 1st half. Iowa looked like the better team the second half. Now Iowa has looked much better since then, because they haven't had to play the teams that ISU has.

I hate to say this, but I agree with Split.

I'd rather beat 11 really bad B1G teams than lose to 9 really good Big XII teams...

There are 4 good Big 12 teams, maybe 5 when Texas Tech has their offense.

And ISU doesn't step up to the plate enough to even beat marginal teams.

Give Iowa credit--they keep winning. If ISU had that easy of a schedule, and managed to even eek out an undefeated season into November, it's not like ISU fans wouldn't welcome a spot in the playoffs.

I have a weird feeling they will. I'm going to say it's Ohio State that stumbles against either MSU, UM, or Iowa.

Somehow, some way, Oklahoma is going to win the whole thing.

Finally someone thought of it. Please apply for next year's ISU job if it opens up. :P

I give that a 10% chance of happening.

Even if it did, I would love an 11 win season, no question.

I think Nebraska is 50/50 the championship game is 5/95 and if they make a gang of 6 bowl assuming they play another top 10 team 20/80. Overall odds are all of those things don't happen but certainly better than a 10% chance. If you are that confident I will bet $10 to your
$90 in a heart beat.
