It is OSU's Turn to Play in the Big Game

Oklahoma State deserves to play for the national title of college football.
I don’t need to repeat all of the reasons.
It should be obvious to every voter out there.
You may think Alabama is better. Fine.
Oklahoma State deserves the shot at LSU. You had your shot. Now, it is time for OSU to have a shot.
The Cowboys earned the right by completely hammering Oklahoma, 44-10, Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium.
It was worse than 44-10. It was 44-3 in the third quarter.
OSU was so good it had to call off the dogs in the fourth quarter against the No. 10 team in the country.
The Cowboys were fabulous in all areas, especially defense. They got five turnovers.
Offensively, as usual, OSU was unstoppable.
So, the only blemish on this season is a missed field goal by inches at Iowa State. The only loss is in double overtime on the road on the same day the Cowboys found out about a tragic plane crash.
Sorry, the Cowboys should get a mulligan.
Give us the game the national title should have - OSU vs. LSU.
Gundy vs. Miles.
OSU’s offense against LSU’s defense.
Alabama had its chance. Now, it is OSU’s turn.

Congrats to the Cowboys. You have show superior skills all year. You deserve a shot at LSU without question.

Mr.Castiglione, the Sooner Nation demands blood sacrifice for the shame we bear. Venables must walk the plank as a show of contrition.

Let's get to The Meat & Potatoes of the situation:

OSU only loss was during that tragic moment.
OSU won it's conference
LSU already played Alabama; they don't need a rematch.
The nation (non-SEC) wants to see LSU-OSU.

I'm off the mic

Pick:

I need to rewatch the 4th quarter to see this:

'OSU was so good it had to call off the dogs in the fourth quarter against the No. 10 team in the country'.

OSU called off the dogs? Huh? When?
