Go Clemson!!! Stoops ran Brent Venerables out of town in favor of his brother as a the D Coordinator, so I want Venerables and Clemson to take it to Stoops.

Clemson is really blowing OU off the ball, so maybe that is it. 10-0 Tigers early in the 1Q.

I'm generally a fan of computer rankings, especially in football where schedules are so unbalanced from conference to conference, but Oklahoma has been a pretty huge outlier this year. Even after 3 losses they were often top ten in some of the computer models I think are typically better than AP/Coaches, obviously they don't look like a top 10 team.

OU always mails in their bowl game, when it's not one they think they "deserve" or is "good enough" for OU.

Funny how much I got ripped on for saying the Big 12 isn't very good all year. Where do the Big 12 wins come from this bowl season? Sure didn't get any signature wins in the non conference.

Stoops won a national championship, but other than that I would say he is the absolute worst coach I have ever seen in terms of getting his team ready to play in bowl games. Remember the chock job against BSU? Not really surprised by this at all.
