Murray averaged over 4 yards per carry. If anything, the fact that he only ran the ball 12 times proves that OU's offense runs most efficiently when they feed him more (especially when they have a small lead in the 4th Q).
You were right. The BCS normally overestimates how good the Pac 10 and Big 10 are, and I thought that overestimation, coupled with the human voters giving Oregon the nod, would be enough to put them at the top. But obviously that was not the case.
I can only hope!!!!!! However I don't think ole miss will pull it off. But I can hope!!!
I sincerely hope Auburn scores 50 and Newton runs for 200 again next week. And throws for 200. I don't care for Newton and don't really like Auburn, but I'll make the exception this week. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Haters gotta hate
I think Auburn holds serve this week
But they better not be caught looking ahead to Bama when they play the Dawgs
They are a different team with AJ Green

I agree. Georgia has definitely looked better recently. But if they do hold out over GA, then the Alabama-Auburn match is a made for TV spectacle.

Ah come one, you can't tell me you don't root for Georgia Tech or Florida to lose every game.
Just for the record, when Georgia plays Awwwburn, I'll be pulling for those other Dawgs. And when they play Alabama, I'll be...rooting for a natural disaster.
And BTW, I am so happy we played Gawga when we did. I don't know if we could win that Dawg fight right now.
I hate the Gators
Tech is irrelevant

I would like nothing better than to finish with the trifecta... Gators, Auburn and Tech
Throw in the thrashing we gave Tennessee and I am a happy Dawg
Those are the 4 games I look to every year
Yeah, I hate the 4 loses we have, but it would sure take the bad taste away to finish strong
And here I thought I could give you kudos for more insightful banter. If memory serves correct you groiled me on making a similar point; saying a team lost because of too many mistakes is like saying they lost because they needed more time in the 4QTR.
MIZZOU an outstanding team?
Besides Oregon and Auburn, I don't think anyone has earned that kind of praise yet. Back to your point though, I assume you're an OU fan so it puzzles me why you think OU's spread offense is built on pass first, run second. Stoops' coaching style is rooted in a defensive mentality rather than offense first. The fundamental foundation of the OU spread is run first with emphasis on misdirection counters, draws, stretches, and pitches with linemen that zone block. MIZZOU took away a majority of this by keeping their SS in the box and near the line of scrimmage much like Pittsburgh does with Polumalu in the League. Passing 50+ times a game is outside of OU's comfort zone. Stoops said as much during the post game press conference.
They'll still probably make it to the Big12 title game so we'll see what happens.
Well what about the other home game lost this year. Which one was worse to suffer?
"our field is blue!"
Funny stuff (less funny when you are evilgeek). Makes you realize how stupid both sides of these types of arguments sound.

I groiled (sic) you for saying that OU's offense isn't balanced. That's just flat-out wrong.
Again, it's about balance, not about run or pass first.
OU has run 298 pass plays and 296 run plays. It's kinda hard to make a point that their offense is based on doing either of those first.
Complete and utter nonsense. When they blew Iowa State out of the water a week ago, they quit passing in the second half, and they still average 43 attempts per game as a team. 50 can't be uncomfortable.
Well UCLA is what exposed us as a fraud. The tough thing about that loss is that growing up in Socal, I have a lot of friends that went to UCLA. So every time we lose to them, I end up with my voicemail full from all the crap I get about it.
From a football standpoint though, Iowa State was the worse loss IMO. I don't care how bad a team Texas has, how poorly we play, and so on - we have no business losing to them.

I feel sorry for Baylor this week. UT is going to want to try to save some face so they will hammer Baylor instead of eating yet another loss.
I dunno man - Mack Brown may have lost control of this team. If we win, great, but I wouldn't put money on it! Amazing that I'm saying this about Baylor.

I would find it incredibly amusing if Baylor were to win the Big12 South this year. It seems an appropriate send off to the conference. It would be like Vanderbilt winning the SEC East.
Fraud is a little strong, there are a lot of teams that would welcome a winning (or non-losing) record in a major conference
I mean "fraud" in terms of being a ranked team in first place in their division with a 6-2 (3-1) record. They have beaten Sam Houston State, Buffalo, Rice, Kansas, Colorado, and Kansas State. They have lost to one mediocre team (Texas Tech 45-38) and one good team (TCU 45-10).
So...they have done nothing to deserve their Top 25 ranking, which will almost certainly be proven after they play UT in Austin, Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Texas A&M in Waco, and Oklahoma in Waco.
The only one of their remaining four that looks winnable right now is the A&M game, a program they have beaten just twice in the last 25 years.
yeah but A&M has been sucking it up the past few years. I remember joking at work with the A&M grads with the question "So who is A&M losing to this week?"
I believe those 2 losses have come in the past few years as well.
They came in 2004 and 2008, which means that while A&M has been mostly terrible since last winning a conference championship in 1998, they're still 9-2 against Baylor over that time period.
Baylor is overrated, big time. It will take more than going 1-3 the rest of the wayand beating A&Mfor me to revise that statement.
