…but based on our luck and how the “computers” seem to love OU, I highly doubt it. If it does get that close, I hope Mizzou pulls thru and wins it and doesn’t get our hopes up just to smash them down again like Baylor did this past weekend.

while it is possible the human voters could do it, they would need a near total collapse and pull out a tight game. even then, it’s highly highly unlikely that UT would get more votes than OU to go on to the NCG as long as OU wins.

Unless OU wins because the refs give them every call and everyone gets enormously suspicious, there’s no way OU loses votes for simply winning, no matter how ugly it is. They win, they’re in.

Missouri is down by 35 at that half, and in the last play before time is called, Bradford and Murray collide on a reverse gone wrong and simultaneously suffer concussions that lead to brain hemmoraging. Both are sent to the hospital and pronounced DOA.

Missouri is able to put up 34-0 in the second half, but still lose. The computers wouldn’t know it, but the voters might ding them. :)

Forgive the morbidity, I wish nothing but the best for OU’s players. It’s just the only scenario where I see OU dropping on a win.

Concerning “Oklahoma’s luck” this year, im not sure yet that it isnt Texas’ lucky year. Texas had no hopes of a national championship after Tech beat them, unless things all fell into place. Things can still fall into place.
