Oklahoma is definitely a team I would feel nervous about playing in the playoffs. Obviously they’re not perfect but that defense flys.

With a broken bone or bones in your throwing hand. I will argue this all day go break your hand and throw for 135 yards as a 23 o r4 year old
He had a Temu Linsanity run against a bunch of tomato cans, with a good game against a good but not great Michigan team mixed in. Mendoza has been consistently good all season. At full health, I'd rather have him than Mateer. Mateer probably would not even be in my top 10 for QBs I would take on my team this year.

Given that it's the playoffs and we probably won't be in position to play the G5 team, I would take my chances against OU. Their defense is good, but probably not better than ours, whereas our offense is head and shoulders better than theirs. They have us in the kicking game though, I will give them that.

Have we watched the same Oklahoma team? They gave up over 300 yards passing to bama, ole miss and Tenn. The Bama running back (Hill) would have had multiple 20+ yard runs if he was actually fast and didn’t look like he ate Eddie Lacy.

What, you're not fired up about Pitt-Ga. Tech? Big battle for second place in the ACC!

Oregon-USC is a big one. And maybe Mizzou can give Oklahoma a game? But yeah beyond that it's the annual SEC Tuneup Weekend.

Tough when call on the field was incomplete, that first photo means USC may have gotten away with one

OU threw a lot of coverages and looks at Ty Simpson and Ryan Grubb. They had the pick six and had the takeaways to win the game. It was really the schematics that got this done in the end. I don't know if they emptied the playbook, but they threw a lot at Simpson in this game and it showed. Happy Feet for days.

I think on a neutral field ND can certainly beat either. Right now, UGA looks like they can beat anyone, including Alabama. UGA beats IU on a neutral field. They could probably beat Ohio State, too. In a month, we'll see, but right now they look severely dialed in.

Alabama not being able run at will is confusing to me. I haven't seen Alabama struggle in the run game in a long, long time.

I was much more impressed with Arch while getting his ass kicked than Mateer (he kind of sucks) winning at Bama. Oklahoma’s D did the job though.
He had some great throws in this game and there were a lot of drops in the first half. A lot of drops.

He's another guy who if he can get 1% better each week he'll be fine. He's carrying the legacy and in the fishbowl of Texas. When you cut away all the cake and watermelon of his bloodline, he looks like he could be pretty good.

Alabama has a bad o-line. Georgia is bad on the back end. Every team has their flaws this year

I thought they had some big holes yesterday to run through but their RB group is really unimpressive

depends on what you call drops; a lot of them were not easy catches. Arch did not look good. Simple as that
