[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1326238, member: 6146"] Not concerned at all with OU's losses; after all, they made it to bowl games many times while my team was at home. My whole point was I don't think they are a top five team; they are good - no doubt, but IMO not top five (and certainly not #1). And I don't have an axe to grind, other than having to put up with BS from OU fans about how the team I pull for sucks, etc. I know some great OU fans, but know many, many more who are obnoxious idiots - and I don't understand that. How some people base their self worth and the worth of others on on how a college football team does on the field and which team others follow is assinine. But you'll find those types that follow every program (I hear living anywhere in Nebraska is hell, too). Texas was certainly overrated, NU - who knows? So far OU has been able to maintain their undefeated status, but narrow escapes from much lesser foes is why I don't consider them a top five team - it's nothing personal. I realize that happens to lots of teams, but from just watching other conferences play, it seems there are more dominant teams - many who have at least one loss. As to jbarnett: I honestly don't know if I could pick a top five without looking even more into it; it's been very back and forth this year with a lot of teams, so it would be difficult. And OU should take care of Mizzou this weekend; no one can choke like a Gary Pinkel-coached team. And I'm very familiar with teams that choke; I'm also a KC Chiefs fan. [/QUOTE]
