That said, stop trying to discredit OU and stop whining about Stoops. The fact is that you could make a valid argument for USC, OU and AU to be in the championship. All three are undefeated, and all three have great players/teams. Because of the sucky BCS system, one of the three will get screwed out of a championship shot, and it happened to be AU. Don't blame OU, they deserve a shot as much as anyone, as does USC, and as does Auburn.

So Stoops was right for calling ESPN biased and saying they were in bed with Auburn? How low will OU fans go? You think it is ok to undermine the journalistic integrity of them? They've give their opinion, and that opinion shouldn't make coaches ACCUSE them of having a financial reason for making said opinion. Stoops cried like a little bitch.

Actually I watch ESPN, Espn to my knowledge has ever said Auburn should be in over OU, but there were several that said they though OU and Auburn should play.

Umm, negative. Gameday had AU number one several times. Several times Mark May and Trev Alberts said Auburn was the number 1 team in the land.

Maybe it was ABC, or some other station then, but there were several people calling for an OU-Auburn matchup through most of Nov.

Perhaps. I find it silly that people say Auburn had a weak schedule. I'd like to see USC or OU beat, UGA, UT, UT, LSU, and Alabama. None of those are cupcake teams.

Yes and what you fail to realise nor are UT, A&M, Tech or OSU. I dont care if three are 7-4. Hell A&M had the toughest SOS, OSU was right behind them. You seem to think OUs 7-4 teams were cupcakes.

Now, about that SOS...

Yeah and when Tenn gets its ass handed to it, maybe the Big 12 will get the respect it deserves. Sure A&M, Tech and OSU are 7-4 but they could easily take out LSU, UGA, or UTenn.

that sort of logic doesnt work, LSU while a good team (almost lost to Oregon State) and Tennesee (lost to 4 loss Notre Dame)

same, A&M and Tech had some bad losses, trying pit diff conference teams against each other is just speculation,

All hail BCS, All hail BCS. IMHO this could be the best Championship game since OH-Miami, even though USC's D will win the game.

Uh-huh. USC hasn't had a D all year, so I guess they are going to borrow Auburn's? OU wins in the Orange. You can bet on that.


Team Passing Defence


USC:#21 (Auburn #9, we could play better pass defence I guess, but we have OU beat by a big distance either way)
OU: #52


Team Rushing Defence

USC:#2 (Auburn #10, we are better in this aspect)
OU:#8


Team Scoring Defence


USC: # (Auburn #1, we dont need to borrow anything from AU again, our offense more than makes up ;) )
Ou: #6


Team Total Defence

USC:#6 (Auburn #4, better than ours but we definetely dont need to borrow anything from them )

OU: #15



I'd say USC has the defence ;)

Hmmmm lets see, what conference does OU play in? Oh thats right, the ALWAYS extremely competitve Big 12 that has who? Yes Texas Tech, who WILL throw ANYONES pass d out of whack. Yes OU weak spot is pass d but those rankings are based on statistics that cant really be compared fairly.

lets see everyone team in the PAC 10 plays the west coast offence, its always pass first and then run, anyway, i agree comparing just numbers doesnt give the true picture

Theres not to many teams in college football that routinely put up 500+ yard 5+ TD games like Tech. Tech has been doing this for 3 years now. They'd be able to do it against anyone, its the system they play. Sure the west coast offense racks up more passing than rushing, but it doesnt come close to Tech.

OU also played BGSU, the number 2 team in the nation in passing offense.
so, OU plays TTU #1 and BGSU #2 and you try to make a point about pass D? that being a whopping 18 yards a game on average.
you might want to do a little research. to call 18 yards a game a 'big difference' given the FACTS i presented is just ignorant.

I'll have to see that to believe it :p.

Maybe not easily, but UGA, LSU, and UTenn just were as impressive this year as they have been in the past. Tennesse is going down in the Cotton Bowl...

Thats what you guys are doing. You are saying OU and its only one game vs a 9+ win team is lacking SOS. When infact its not. The big 12 doesnt get respect even though it sends more teams to bowl games and IIRC wins more bowl games as well. I can understand if you bitch about the Northern Divison they didnt beat any Big 12 south team except Baylor. But OUs 7-4 teams are just as good at Auburns 9+ win teams. This is why we need a playoff system.

Really, explain why UT barely pulled out a win vs. Arkansas(6th best record in the SEC).

Funny, I seem to remember Kliff Kingsbury getting tossed around at the 'Shoe in 2002. First it was his name being tossed around before the game as a possible Heisman winner for the upcoming year. During the game it was him being tossed around by the OSU defensive line and LBs. TT's style breaks down against a very good D-line. That game would have ended 7-45 if OSU hadnt put in their second string defense in the 4th quarter.

ahahahhahaahah Auburn fans :thumbsdown:

Auburn doesn't deserve anything, and for that matter Auburn is going to get HUMILIATED in the Sugar Bowl. Oh wait, they're playing VT, perhaps they have a chance to win. Quick question for the Auburn fans: if it's so easy to see that Auburn is #1 or 2 in the nation, how come they are #3 in the polls. And don't give me this pre-season "bias" crap, Auburn had 12 games to prove itself. They didn't. If Auburn was that hungry for the title they should've gone out a whomped Tenn. OU came out and dominated Colorado. Auburn squeaked out a victory. Auburn had its chance and it failed. Maybe next season you won't schedule terrible teams for your non-conference games.

I disagree entirely. Losses to Baylor and New Mexico for those two teams. Notre Dame is better than Baylor and New Mexico. Other than that -- UGA lost to UT and AU, UT lost to ND, AU, AU, and LSU lost to AU, and UGA.

So, LSU lost to only 9 win teams, UGA only lost to 9 win teams, UT lost to a 9 win team twice, and ND.

Baylor has 3 wins -- one versus A&amp;M -- and then wins versus perennial powerhouse North Texas and Texas St. New Mexico was a bit better, but not like they had a tough schedule to play.">http://sportsillustrated.cnn.c...og/2004/newmexico.html</a>

ND isn't stellar at 6-5, but they beat Big 10 Champs Michigan and lost to BCS Bowl team Pittsburgh, a pretty decent BC, USC, and their one REAL bad game a 3 point loss to BYU.

whatz your point

i was just mereley saying SC has a good defenece, i never said its MUCH better than OU or that OU's is much worse,

A&amp;M lost 3 of its last 4 games, and is still ranked 20 in the BCS rankings. For awhile A&amp;M was ranked in the top 8 by the BCS computers.

Auburn did prove itself 12-0, 4 wins vs 9 win teams, won the SEC title, beat the defending national champions(who only lost to Auburn, and 9 win Georgia).

Maybe next season you won't schedule terrible teams for your non-conference games.

Guess what? We had Bowling Green scheduled for this year. OU paid for their buy-out cause BG's AD was OU's former ticket director. Yeah, blame the Auburn team of 2004 for a game that was scheduled in 1994. It is this team's fault that BG screwed us and only the Citadel was there. How could we "force" a team to schedule us? Idle threats?

Yeah and when Tenn gets its ass handed to it, maybe the Big 12 will get the respect it deserves. Sure A&amp;M, Tech and OSU are 7-4 but they could easily take out LSU, UGA, or UTenn.

that sort of logic doesnt work, LSU while a good team (almost lost to Oregon State) and Tennesee (lost to 4 loss Notre Dame)

same, A&amp;M and Tech had some bad losses, trying pit diff conference teams against each other is just speculation,

Thats what you guys are doing. You are saying OU and its only one game vs a 9+ win team is lacking SOS. When infact its not. The big 12 doesnt get respect even though it sends more teams to bowl games and IIRC wins more bowl games as well. I can understand if you bitch about the Northern Divison they didnt beat any Big 12 south team except Baylor. But OUs 7-4 teams are just as good at Auburns 9+ win teams. This is why we need a playoff system.

I disagree entirely. Losses to Baylor and New Mexico for those two teams. Notre Dame is better than Baylor and New Mexico. Other than that -- UGA lost to UT and AU, UT lost to ND, AU, AU, and LSU lost to AU, and UGA.

So, LSU lost to only 9 win teams, UGA only lost to 9 win teams, UT lost to a 9 win team twice, and ND.

Baylor has 3 wins -- one versus A&amp;M -- and then wins versus perennial powerhouse North Texas and Texas St. New Mexico was a bit better, but <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://

ND isn't stellar at 6-5, but they beat Big 10 Champs Michigan and lost to BCS Bowl team Pittsburgh, a pretty decent BC, USC, and their one REAL bad game a 3 point loss to BYU.

This will be settled on Jan 1 when UTenn gets beat in Dallas. Yeah Baylor beat A&amp;M, in a fluke game. Like Miami losing to UNC. Does that mean Miami sucks ass?

A&amp;M lost 3 of its last 4 games, and is still ranked 20 in the BCS rankings. For awhile A&amp;M was ranked in the top 8 by the BCS computers.

Ok, so? Auburn beat the #7, #11, and #15 BCS teams.

but i thought the BCS is bullsh*t, so why use it to try and prove why you think AU should be in the game?

Read the argument. He brought the BCS up.

Well, BCS is ok.
Just let the top 8 BCS play in BCS bowl, and maybe make a playoff after that if possible.
It sucks to leave out Cal for example out of BCS bowl just because VT and Pittsburg win their conference.

:)

See ya @ Miami
