Our voters had a few decisions to make. They weren't easy.
Penalize Oklahoma for losing at Iowa State or reward it for winning at Baylor and keep the Sooners as the No. 1 team? It wasn't like there wasn't an adequate alternative; North Carolina, after all, has won 11 in a row and stands undefeated in the ACC.
But Oklahoma plays in the rough-and-tumble Big 12, and that loss at Iowa State -- yes, that Hilton Magic -- was only by two points. Did the Sooners really deserve to be held out of the top spot for that?
