given today's win, i think oregon will jump ou. if ou wins out (that's a big "if") by beating an undefeated osu, they may end up being bcs #2... -M

Honestly, I wish I could play it as smooth as you do.

Though I don't believe it makes any difference OU did have an second bye week this year instead of just one. They started a week earlier than most, had a bye on week two, and a second bye week this week. Doesn't matter though, you win games or not. The loss and some other questionable performances is why we're #6 instead of #1.

The reason for the second bye week this season was no Big 12 Championship game. In years past they only had one because of that, instead of being off the last week of the season (like the Big 10 traditionally did) they chose to move the OU-OSU game to that weekend. That is for two reasons mainly, to maintain some focus on the conference in the final week since there is no CCG and to reduce the off-time between the last game and the bowl game which should be a New Years Day game or later for both teams.
