Yes, what a difference a few days make. Ha! Ha!

Roy Finch is a keeper, he might want to not look so surprised when he breaks through a big hole into the open. Kind of a give-a-way he needs more experience. Those arms looked like he could curl the whole I-state cheerleaders.

So, the BCS is perfect, huh?

It rewards manly schedules and OU is #1, so you are happy as you have been touting their fancy opponents (including a Utah State team who lost by 3 TDs to La Tech). Yet #2 is a fraud because they have not played anyone.

So, the BCS is perfect up to a certain point, and that point stops after #1?

I would agree that the BCS is about as close as you can get to putting the right teams in place for a playoff, if we had one, but it has its flaws. For example, The Ducks have not played anyone,,, blah,,, blah,,,

But the way you present your argument is contradictory to your very first point.

The BCS is the best way to pick playoff teams.

You'd rather have PR flunkies do a coach's voting for him, or have homer writers or TV people pick the teams?

Nick, based on what happened before with Boise State, and the way the OU quarterback is throwing, you'd have to think OU would be all over those people and win handily. Again, the poll seems to be set up perfectly for Alabama, lose early on the road to a good team, play a couple or three top ten teams, win, vault to the top.

If OU and Boise played this weekend, OU would be favored 9. And would cover.

Boise St’s, Kellen Moore is one of THE Top 3 QB’s in the nation. They got plenty of California boys on that roster that’ll give any BCS team “fits” But IF the BCS “poll’ really does take into account strength of schedule, then by the end of the season you could see 3 to 4 teams (including TCU) that “should” jump ahead of Boise St.

OU better be prepared for the Nights of Columbia Tiger Mania. On the road, very hostile environment, Will Landry pass like Bradford or pass out?

Who doesn’t enjoy the annual Jerry Jones Traveling Cowboy Circus? An organization that cares more about perception than results w/ acts that can’t perform & talent that has no Mojo

Hey Snicker, maybe you need to soak your Alabama Adulation Elephant Trunk in some ‘Tide. They have to play a ‘salty Miss St team that should be 7-2 when they meet before traveling to Baton Rouge & Lucky Les’s house the next week. But I do agree the SEC West Champ will win the SEC title game & have an excellent chance @ being one of the 2 teams invited to the BCS championship game

MMike, Texas Tech could play in skirts.

But yeah, your team looked fine. What's the highest ranked team OSU has beaten, the Aggies sliding in at number 88?

But you can't blame a team for winning.

Yeah, you can win Saturday if Nebraska drops three or four more touchdown passes. Make that high school option quarterback pass, he could toss a few in the parking lot.

I love it when people post about OU's weak non-conference schedule. HELLO...Case in Point! Look at the result of scheduling tough games, OU is in pole position so the reward is well worth the risk.

Yeah, we just got by Utah State as some would point out. Who cares! They got the W and moved on.

Show should people still bringing it up. Move On!

IF the BCS picked top 8 teams and a play-off ensued it might be relevant. As for the Cowgirls (no offense meant to the fairer sex), the team's biggest problem is a total lack of on field discipline in re stupid penalties.A sense of "party atmosphere" entitlement dominates this team, which could still make the play-offs.Romo not really that bad unless he tries to force things. My big pick last week was OSU drubbing Tech. I've got another coming up so stay tuned. By the way,Picker, there is another team in Alabama that might have a little influence on final BCS, Auburn.

I didn't see the Texas/Nebraska game. From the stats and the best articles covering the game though, their receivers either don't have very good hands or else they choked. Probably some of both ? My guess is they won't do that against OSU though. This will be a harder test for OSU than TXAM was. Which doesn't mean OSU loses. It's interesting to me that the refs called 8 or so illegal procedure penalties against OSU when OSU was playing the Texas Aggies, but then nothing like that happened for OSU on the road against either Louisiana or Texas Tech. Nebraska is better than it showed against the Longhorns. Still, I think OSU is better than some might think based on what TXAM has done since their game with OSU. I was at the OSU/TXTECH game in Lubbock. The Pokes played with a lot of resolve and it's not like the Red Raiders just rolled over and died for them. Anymore than A&M did. A&M wanted that game bad. But, the OSU fans and the OSU team stayed determined throughout the game themselves. Everybody seemed to understand it was going to take everything OSU had to have a chance to win that game. Now, ditto that here and more against the Huskers. On the bright sides, despite what some have said, OSU does (!) have a defense. And against Tech the kickoff squad played it's best game of the year so far. Keep it coming ... go Pokes !

And yeah, thanks to the Picker for confirming further for me what really happened in Lincoln. Besides his being The Picker, I consider the man a journalist. Even though his previous continuous praise of Nebraska has irritated me. Like they say, it's a hard life and then you die

Picker,(guesser?)after last weeks "real top ten",(#2 South Carolina,#3 Nebraska,#4 Ohio State)I'm surprised you haven't been moved to the style page.A bigger jinx than the front cover of Sports Illustrated.Please dont hex OK.State.

I agree, Pick. If the spread stays at -3 for Nebraska, I'm guessing you'll go the similar route as you did last week against Tech and say Nebraska -1. Can't blame you there.

In fact, it worked out well for the Pokes last week so I encourage it!

Oh no! Another week going 6 and 10. Junie S is slipping in the rankings! She has been feeling a little down, where's the magic? Today Junie received her prize for Week 1 in the mail, all the way over here in Woodstock, NY! Junie thinks her new matching sweatshirt and collar are stunning! Thank you Picker Contest and Tulsa World!!
