    In theory, you're right. But something tells me that, when the bright lights are on, we see a Clemson that more closely resembles years past than the team the we saw look mortal/bored at times this season.

    I agree. The only concern I have for Clemson is getting used to soft teams, and suddenly going up against tough team may take them a bit to get used to it. I remember past OU teams needing a half to adjust to physical play when the y faced SEC teams in bowl games. SEC teams didn't need a half, as the competition in conference has them prepared for physical football.

    Why do we keep talking about the last “decade”? We’ve been OU’s bitch for the last three and a half decades. 

    I think this is a bit too far. Yes the Big 12 titles are lopsided, but the head to head games have not been. I remember CFP OU teams leaving the Cotton Bowl with an L. 

     

    On our side it doesn't feel like we have dominated you. It feel like we've been better, but should have been even better considering how bad you've been considering your historical standards. That 2000 NC might was well be prehistoric at this point.

    A&M sucks. Beating them barely registers as an achievement and has nothing to do with anything that I'm saying.

    My perception is "skewed" because Clemson has been in 3 of the last 4 national championship games and have a lot of really big, really fast, really good players.

    Whilst Oklahoma has not exactly shared their playoff success. Though, a Lincoln Riley offense with actually some semblance of a defense this time around should be able to at least stay on the field with anybody.

    I don't think this is a Lincoln Riley offense we're used to seeing. The QB can't make the throws you need to beat tight coverage against good teams. The Oline is young and has injuries. 

    The defense has improved and they're playing hard. If OU had Baker or Kyler this year, I'd give OU a good chance to win a playoff game.

  4. we all thought the Big 12 was done when it lost the realignment game of thrones, but it's going to be three straight years in the CFP for the Big 12. Baylor would have made it had they beaten OU. Once Texas gets back to being Texas, this league will enjoy even more respect.  As long as Rhule stays at Baylor, they will be a force to be dealt with. They need to schedule some name team in the out of conference and kicked their ass.

    does OU belong with Ohio State, Clemson, and LSU?

    Texas played LSU very tough. Wisconsin gave OSU all it could handle, and Clemson hasn't really been tested. I would agree those team have better rosters than OU, but OU belongs in that company, imo.  If Baylor's name was Georgia, some ESPN people would have scenarios for them to make the playoff.
