Could OU play Texas three times this year?

[MiccoMacey]

Saw this on OB, and thought it was a pretty interesting possibility.

How is this for a scenario...

OU runs the table, beating Ohio State on the road, then beats Texas in a very close hard fought game down to the wire. That's two wins over two top five teams because...

Texas goes 11-1, with their only loss to OU, who would probably be ranked #1. That legitimately puts them as a top four team, especially with their road win over USC who could be somewhere in the top five as well.

OU and Texas face each other again in the Big Twelve CCG. Texas avenges their loss to OU and wins the CCG in yet another "Game of the Century".

So now OU and Texas are both 12-1, with losses to only each other, and each with two high quality wins (OU beats Ohio State and a highly ranked Texas, Texas beats USC and a highly ranked OU). They would also own the "best loss" of all CFP hopefuls, as each would have only been beaten by a top five team.

Should they both be in the playoffs, for possibly a third game?

I won't say it's impossible. But it would require LOTS of help in terms of other conference champions losing 2+ games. OU and Texas would literally need to be the only 1 loss teams in the country for it to be a remote possibility.

I pray for that Not to happen; too much orange is never a good thing

 

[roygbell]

Well there are pipe dreams and now a silo dream. That will never happen.

First of all, Texas won't beat USC on the road and OU beating tOSU on the road is pretty iffy. OU has a much better shot at beating tOSU than does Texas beating the Trojans.

Not so much a wish for things to fall this way...or even that this scenario is a realistic possibility...just something for discussion.

Well, I think I just discussed it.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

The loss of the championship game is very late in the season and I suspect would cost the losing team a shot at a play off scenario.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

It would have to go down exactly like that, with USC and Ohio State winning their conferences but also losing one more game along the way.

But since Texas is going to get destroyed in LA, it doesn't matter.

Not sure if serious? Vodka Tom will be lucky to finish 6-6

 

[BawlzDeep]

Kansas beat Texas. Stop drinking the CFP for texass koolade.

 

[trademarcs]

If Texass is anywhere near 11 wins this season, I'll sing the horn fight song while Bevos nuts are in my throat. It just ain't happening.

 

[iasooner1]

trade don't bite off more than you care to chew...

Never since we all know the big 12 garners zero respect

This is closest to the truth. Heck, the Big XII has a hard enough time getting one team into the playoffs, let alone wishing for two. Lol

 

[OUSOONER67]

Neither one makes the CF Playoffs let alone both.

 

[iasooner1]

According to Bowlsby the XII is the best...

I am very positive that Texas will not go 11-1......BUT I ain't never going to make that promise, man. I trying to get the vision of that out of my mind.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

I have them at 8-4. That's winning all they're supposed to plus 1.

Serious question, bc. Which 4 teams are supposed to beat OU except Ohio State, assuming the Sooners will beat one of the five?

I was referencing Tejas my friend.

I got them losing too USC on the road, us and TCU and WVU both on the road.

I think they'll be surprisingly not awful on offense and solid on defense.

That's about what I have for them as well. Even Bob Stoops only won seven his first year, and he had a good nucleus of kids returning to help (although they basically had to be trained to be trainable).

My bad. Makes sense and I should have known better coming from you. I'll give you a "like" now.

 

[PryorFan]

Yes and it's also true for every other big xii team since it's a round robin schedule.
