No, I chimed in when you said Texas got bitchslapped by a mediocre Pac10 team - which they did - and I said OU would get theirs in a BCS bowl game again. My point is that OU is good, but I think playing in the Big XII - which is down across the board - won't help them in the post season, and I stand by that. If they prove me wrong - fine. I don't win or lose anything whether they win out or not. Texas just got exposed early. OU may or may not, and they may well be (and probably are) improving, as the two games I really got to watch of their was Cincinnatti and Air Force....two games where they struggled with unranked teams. They've done well since, so Stoops may have them much better off than what I saw - he's one hell of a coach.
Not sure exactly who I'd put in the top five, but I don't see anyone from the Big XII looking all that strong. Alabama looks good, but their one loss takes them out of the top spot in the polls. But are they worse than TCU or Auburn? We'll see. I agree with a previous poster that said no one team is all that dominant this year, but I also see the Big XII teams as being down across the board.
