These players better care because the WV game just became do or die thanks to OSU upset of WV. If OU loses that game its vacation time till bowls.
OU loses every 3 way tiebreaker in this case. If OU, ISU, WV they are all 1-1vs oneanother. The tiebreaker to break that tie is comparing records vs 4th place team and they would both have beaten Texas which eliminates OU
Tx, WV, OU we lose that tie breaker also. OU would be 0-2 against them. If they cant get motivated for that then nothing will motivate this defense because the final outcome will be on there shoulders to make a few stops. I wouldnt bet on that happening.
