Let's say everyone wins out like they are supposed to. OSU beats OK. Bama beats Auburn. LSU beats ARK, then beats UGA in SEC title game.

I have a hard time basically "rewarding" Alabama for losing at home, then rewarding them for not having to play in the SEC championship, so they can sit back and not have to worry about anything. Even though if LSU loses to UGA I can still see them being in top 2 in BCS and still going (OU in 2003). It should be two conference winners against each other, and in the latest conference power polls the SEC and Big 12 are 1,2.

I say why not let OK State go and give it a shot. They probably wont win, and neither will anyone else in the Dome, but it would be better than a rematch of that awful game. And this is coming from an OU fan.

Agree completely.

Absolutely. I agree completely.

As for having to play in the dome against LSU, no more dome for, at least, a couple of years:


The game's location rotates among the sites of the BCS bowls. Future scheduled sites are as follows (note the years shown are for the game, which occurs in the calendar year following the corresponding NCAA football season):

2012 - Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana (Allstate BCS National Championship Game)
2013 - Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida (Discover BCS National Championship Game)
2014 - Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California (Vizio BCS National Championship Game)

Looking at the various sites...it is still hard not to use FedEx, Nokia, and AT&T when referring to the bowls in those locations.

Projected BCS Rankings for Today...LSU and Bama firmly in control. If Georgia beats LSU in the SEC Title game, I wouldn't be shocked if LSU only falls to 2 and Bama and LSU still go. OSU's chances are probably around 20% right now, with a win against OU.

If the OU of late comes to play in Stillwater it will be a LONG day!OSU 51 OU-38

Very true. I was sitting in the stands on Saturday thinking, man Stoops is making some bad calls these days and we suck at throwing right now. You can't catch what's poorly thrown and can we pick someone else to run with too? We SHOULD have had double the score in that game but the overall nasty execution caused for some bad crap.

If OSU shows up and OU doesn't, forget it. I'm sort of glad it's at OSU so i don't have to pay to watch it go down.

At least you went to the game. The attendance at the game did show how quick the "fair weather" fans that pretend to be all about OU quickly vanish when the season goes south or weather gets gross. Only 65% of the seats were filled yesterday, even though it was still considered a sell out from advanced sales.
