One thing to keep an eye on - as we move forward, will we hit some opponents in playoff elimination games?  So, if OU loses to Georgia this week, Red River turns into an elimination game.  LSU/Slurp will generate a second loss for someone...do we hit that team when it is staving off elimination?

For sure! Texas can give OU the knockout punch in three Saturday's!

Makes it so much fun.

I think this only makes the schedule even more difficult than it already was. If Oklahoma loses they come into that game fighting for their life and same with the loser of the LSU/A&M game when we play them in November

Is there a world where the SEC has 3-4, 3 loss teams that all have quality wins and only 2 teams with 2 or fewer losses? That’s how a 9-3 team makes it in this year imo.
