As Always you are mistaken again MR. AX, I had been an OU fan/critic/whatever all season long, still am and will be to the end. If you can, Please DO a little favor by COmbining CTRL C and CTRL V keys to reflect my support for OSU!!! Dude, I am a football fan first and OU fan second. I am gonna give credit to whatever team does good. IF it was your CornHuskers doing good/great.. I surely would have given them the credit they deserve regardless of which team I root for. got it?? AUburn Tigers are playing a solid football so I cannot disregard their achievements. On the same line USC and OU had been doing whatever challenges they were faced with. It was just those two games against TExas A&M and Oklahoma State (Champions 2 years back, Both teams were/are ranked and are divisonal rivalries) where the SOOners seemingly struggled (but won), and people started pointing fingers at them. Okie.. that's fair enough.. but come on DIDn't the other teams struggled also? USC had few come from behind wins as well. It took last minute heroics for them to beat Stanford (unranked) . TIgers almost lost the game against the other TIGers from LSU. I do not understand why people do not talk about USC ... I really am surprised. I guess it's the hype from last year. People do not talk about Auburn either (when I say talk, I meant downgrading a team's BCS ranking). That's because when they beat LSU, LSU were ranked #4 and that was consdiered to be an upset. And of course Last Saturday's win against Bulldogs did boost their standing by a lot. See, where all the teams that played against USC, OU and AU stand now and by the end of the season. We all had realized by now that LSU didn't deserve that high standing, it was just the preseason ranking that helped their cause. Actually, LSU won their season opener against Oregon State in the last minute. However, it was good FOR Auburn that LSU had such a superior ranking. THe whole ranking thing is kinda messed up. This season SEC had been Awesome.. one cannot say the same about them for last how many years?? During the last decade CHECK which conference had won or represented in the Natioal Championship game most of the time.... SEC is seemingly competitive. However, Big 12 is right behind them. To do more comparisons and analysis about the TOP 3 teams.. here are Some important TEams Stat.s through November 16. Team Rush Pass Total PF PA Margin OU 204.3 259.3 463.6 35.6 16.1 19.5 AU 201.4 229.9 431.3 34.2 9.3 24.9 USC 179.5 255.3 434.8 37.1 11.6 25.5 Tigers defense is the most intense. Sooners offense is the most explosive.Win margin is the best for Trojans. SO, what to make out of this stat.?? And let's see how many teams from each conference (Big 12, Pac 10 and SeC) are ranked within top 25 by BCS. this is an overall standing not just on the COACHES poll (posted by someone else above). BIG 12 = 4: Oklahoma (2), Texas (5), Texas A & M (20), Oklahoma State (22), SEC = 4: Auburn (3), Georgia (11), LSU (16), Tennessee (17) PAC 10 = 3: USC (1), California (4), ASU (14) So, which conference is most competitive?? SEC (maybe..) As of now I rank AUBRUN #1( don't assume I am rooting for AU now. you won't rank your C'Huskers on top ..would ya??) , Oklahoma #2 and USC #3. How many of you would agree or disagree? and why?? And oh yeah... SEE THE BC eagles flying high...... GO SOONERS GO. Jai Nepal
