First, Navy has to play @Houston. Temple has to play Memphis. Second, if they do happen to win they would have to play each other. So it's unlikely both teams are ranked at the end of the year.
Second, Oklahoma beating Baylor this weekend while Gameday is there and all the spotlight is on the game will probably jump them up to the top 7.
Third, their win @Tennesse looks very good to the committee. I personally don't have much respect for Tennessee, but the committee seems to value these metrics and Tennessee is very highly rated in those metrics.
Fourth, Oklahoma will have beat 2 top 10 teams on the road plus another top 20 team in the last 3 weeks of the season while we beat 1 top 10 on the road and 2 scrubs. The committee indicated last year that "what have you done lately" is very important.
Not saying they deserve to be ahead of us, but I also don't think it would be outrageous. By the way, Oklahoma has murdered every team they beat besides Tennessee.
Which has the opportunity to vault them even further, or crap out, which isn't any different than the Big12 situation either. And if Temple and Navy end up playing each other in the championship, that doesn't hurt us at all. One will jump up, one will still finish ranked.
It will jump them, but judging by OK St jumping only 4 spots I believe, we can expect Oklahoma to jump about the same, so ~8th. That doesn't scare me when we're at 4.
That's news to me. Not saying I'm right, but I don't see anything being mentioned about beating Tennessee. More about 'credit for scheduling', but Tennessee turned out not to be good so it's a wash.
Those teams will no longer be top 10, at least unlikely. Where as we have 2 top 20's right now, but Temple/Navy have great opportunities to move up further, and USC is about to get ranked too.
And IDK how the committee could compare OK and ND without taking into account the Texas game. I feel like that's the tie breaker and it's an obvious one.
