Is nobody else worried about getting screwed by the SEC even in a run-the-table type scenario? I keep reading/watching on ESPN about whether the SEC will make it 6 in a row and how the winner of the SEC championship game is automatically one side of the NCG. So what happens in the event that OU goes undefeated and one loss LSU or Alabama wins the SEC championship game? Even if LSJU is undefeated having won the Pac12 championship, does anyone think the system will really let Stanford "jump" a team from the vaunted SEC?
I realize that there really isn't any reason to get all worked up about this at this point, I guess I'm just a bit scared by the amount of sheer optimism I'm feeling about this season and looking for something to temper that.
BTW, on the subject of OU, remember two years ago when we played them in the Sun bowl? And how there was a fair amount of back and forth on injuries, and how we had no business equating what we lost with having Andrew Luck gone versus what they lost with losing Sam Bradford? As I recall, we ended up with Tavita Pritchard (one of my all time favorites b/c of USC) who is now a defensive assistant on the team. Who did OU end up having to put in? I can't remember, but he probably hasn't done much as a QB...
