Miami is about to win it if they can convert this 3rd and 6. They lead 21-20 with less than 3 minutes.

Oklahoma's national title hopes are very dim now. However, they have no losses in the Big 12 so they could possibly get back in it.

They'll need an awful lot of help from other teams in order to back their way into a NC appearance, I believe they flushed their chances tonight.

I really feel bad for our OU friends because injuries have ruined their season. On that note, this OU loss can serve to really help teams like Cincy, Boise St., or even Va Tech/Miami to get into the MNC.

Stay with me here...OU will probably have Bradford back by the Texas game. IF OU (no conference losses) beats Texas and makes it into the Big XII title game, then I don't think a 1 loss Texas team or a 2 loss OU team will get into the big game, which opens the spot up for for the aforementioned teams.

Point: The outcome of this game could play a big part in determining the MNC.

You may be right, but I think Boise St's schedule will come into play here. Cincy may have a better shot than Boise who has a high school schedule. But if it comes down to a one loss SEC team or Big 12 team and one of those undefeateds, I think the SEC or Big 12 will get the nod over one of these teams. In fact it happened last year. UF with one loss played for MNC over Utah who was undefeated.
As for OU, I'm in agreement with others that OU's shot is over.

Another thing...

If you saw the end of the game last night, OU made a big mistake by tackling Miami's RB. There was over a minute left in a 1 point game. It was 1st down for Miami and their back runs for about 12 yards only to be tackled. Then, UM goes into the victory formation. IF OU let's the guy go to the endzone, they'd get the ball back in an 8 point game.

Yeah, but that's my hypothetical point...UF won the SEC title game, so they got in over Utah. But, if OU beats Texas and goes undefeated in conference play, then Texas won't get to play in the Big XII title game, which will hold them out of the MNC and allow a lesser team (Cincy, Boise St., Notre Dame, USC, ACC Champ) to get in. But, my hypothesis won't come true if OU doesn't win the Red River game. Hopefully, that makes better sense. :)

If there's any credibility at all to the Sagarin Computer ratings and strength of schedule then this game should help us immensely.

We beat Virginia Tech who beat Miami who beat Oklahoma. That's a pretty strong chain of events involving teams all ranked in the top ten at one point or another.

We lost Ryan Broyles, really the only threat we had left in the WR corps in the 1st quarter. 6 to 8 weeks is what is being said. I have to disagree with you good folks about Sam Bradford. As good as he is, getting Sam back won't help as much as you think. We don't have a kid that has shown he wants to be a big time WR. Our O line is, well heck I'll say it like it is, they're just barely better than awful. So Sam won't have much to work with when, maybe even if, he comes back.
I like what I see with the Tide. Can I live vicariously through your kids this season?

I agree with you to some degree I do think Bradford calling the plays would have given the team more confidence i just don't know if it would have made much more of an impact. It sure didn't in the Ok State game. No ones gonna have time to stand in the pocket this year at Oklahoma.

I sure was pulling for you guys.
