How did a mediocre team like OSU beat OU? OU had just finished a two week off period because of covid protocols, and they were still missing starting players Duarte and Figueroa. Those two guys combined for 36 points against us in the first game and 37 points in the second game. I'm pretty sure we could've beaten the Ducks without those two.
Way to go, Pac-12. If you play 30ish games over a season, you should be able to find a better tiebreaker than what happened in 2 of those games.
It should never have come to the tiebreaker.

Agreed. Assuming Davis, Wills, and Da Silva are still out, we would surely lose a rematch with OSU. Heck, we'll probably get killed by Cal on Wednesday.
So, I'm not complaining about our seeding--it's just a silly system.
