Oklahoma belongs in this playoff about as much as Notre Dame did last year. It is ridiculous what this has become. Now, Ohio State/Clemson will be an all out 4 quarter battle. At least there is a week between this and the championship game.
Actually, 16 days. Plenty of time to rest

This reminds me of the game against ND when Brian Kelly hoped Bama got back on the bus. Not sure Coach O will show as much mercy as Coach Saban did. Bama could have scored 80 easy on that squad.
This really is the closest analogue of championship level mismatch we've seen in awhile.

Oklahoma will drop to 0-4 in the CFP's. They were 1-3 in BCS games. They have to be the undisputed kings of big game ineptitude over the past 22 years or so. The committee needs to send a note of reminder to themselves for next year.

You mean Texas, right?
In general the State of Texas exerts enough political/economic power to assert their place at the table. The only reason the Big-12 still exists is due to the political interests within that state conspiring to keep their alma maters in a conference of relevance. UT-Austin has not been able to leave the conference multiple times because of these legislative machaniations

Dang, I left the game for a bit when it was 28-7 to eat an early dinner with the family and watch a show. I come back, and it is 49-14. LSU must have lit it up. Hey, committee members, will you please stop putting OU in the playoff? Please? Even though you put Bama 13th, I'm pretty sure we could beat OU by four TDs.

And look how they have been beaten in CFP games except for the Ga Rose Bowl game. Barely competitive
