re: Is there a worse big game program than Oklahoma?

Damn, was about to Post Oklahoma State.

Oregon deserves an honorable mention, too:

2001: Lost to Stanford 49-42 to miss out on a BCS championship game. Finished 11-1.

2005: 10-1 regular season, crushed by USC and ended up in the Holiday Bowl.

2010: Lost to Auburn 22-19 in the BCSNCG

2011: Had a chance to get into the BCSNCG after Alabama lost to LSU the week prior, then gaffed against Stanford.

2012: Undefeated and a chance to go to the BCSNCG after Alabama lost to Texas A&M, blew it against Stanford again.

2013: Ranked #5 in the BCS standings in late November, then got pummeled by 8-5 Arizona 42-16.

2014: Crushed by Ohio State in the CFPNCG.

0 National Championships from a program that had as many as seven shots at it.

The 2011 game does not deserve to be on that list. I don't think any team in that situation would have won that game. Gundy should be commended for playing it actually.
