OU at No. 3 Is Not a Problem, How It Got There Is Definitely a Problem
OU. (USATSI)I’m not sure why I was surprised when the CFP rankings came out on Tuesday night. It’s closing time for Jeff Long and Co. Time to shoehorn in the big boy brands and leave everybody else in the dust.
Oklahoma leaped all the way to No. 3 from No. 7 the week before after beating TCU’s third-string QB by one at home. Makes a lot of sense, right?
Now here’s the thing. I think OU is probably the third-best team in the country. Or at least one of the four or five best. They’re really good. I troll them on Twitter, but ultimately I have no issues with a group of people tabbing them a top four team. Especially when you remember how the committee said it was going to evaluate this stuff.
