I still don't get it, but during the Baylor-ou game thread, an overwhelming number of posters were pulling for ou. Now, once again, ou is one win away from not only a 9th Big XII title under Stoops, but a possible playoff berth. Pulling for ou? WTH!
Nope; have to pull for ou and then get great enjoyment when they finish 5th in the final rankings. Big Game Bob's picture at that moment will be priceless!
I know this is heresy, but you want to root for the land thieves today for the sake of the Big XII. The selection committee has an unconscience bias towards the traditional which favors OU. If both OSU and ND win, then the conference is locked out of the playoff for the second straight year.
Understand and on the surface agree. However a second straight shutout of the Big XII will speed up the end of the conference - which, unfortunately, is needed. Had the Big XII been able to pull in two of ND, Clemson or FSU the conference would be a survivor. Now, for football at least, it is the Power 5 step-child which Scrooge (Jeff Long) as the CFP power broker. Texas, ou, OSU and one other to the PAC cannot happen fast enough.
