Why I would leave Oklahoma out
Posted by AUFANATL on 12/2/18 at 1:01 am78
Oklahoma's defense is REALLY bad.
They rank #112 in total defense, #100 in scoring defense, #63 in rushing defense, #129 in passing defense, #110 in 3rd down defense, #129 in red zone defense and #123 in turnovers forced.
Basically you can make the argument that they are the worst defense in college football. And the only teams competing with them for that dubious honor are absolutely terrible - UCONN, Oregon St, Illinois, Louisville.
Has ANY team in the modern era ever played for a NC with such a terrible defense? Their special teams aren't great either. Basically OU's success was almost entirely due to Murray running around making plays against a defensively challenged schedule.
If there's a common thread for championship contenders it's that they are deep, talented and disciplined in every facet of the game - not a one trick pony. That's not OU this year. Give Murray the Heisman, but give Ohio St the final playoff spot.

There defense is just as good as Ohio's, although its ridiculous that both teams don't get the chance to compete for the championship. No other sport has such a silly way of crowing a champion.

It isn't. It's whatever needs to happen to justify their top four.

OUs defense actually played really well today
They will be a tough out. I don’t think Bama is rolling them. Kyler will get his and Tua is banged up

Defense arguably won the game with the safety and pick at the end.

So is UCF's (and they have a better record).. Should they get in over OU then?
Bottom line, OU's defense is historically bad. Historically bad defensive units should not make the college football playoff

OU offense is #1 in yards
OU offense had around 500 more yards on wayyy fewer plays (like nearly 200 plays. idk bout today's stats) than Ohio St. They had 13 more TDs than OSU entering today?
OU was already ahead and beat a higher ranked team today.
It is what it is.
