OSU climbs nine spots into the top 10.
Nice, but doesn’t mean too much. All that matters is where we finish.
How many spots you think Tulsa’s good showing against UCF aided OSU’s climb?
I was going to say the same thing then saw your comment. Definitely should be a boost through the season if TU runs their league and we are their only loss and UCF plays well this season. Could be a better non-conference win than many.
That’s a good question. It probably helped a little. It certainly didn’t hurt. I would agree with @cmack. The better Tulsa does, the more it helps our resume.
I think Tulsa and WV both winning really helped
Heading into the Red River Rivalry, Texas needs a win but OU needs one worse. They are 1-2 on the season, a loss drops them to 1-3 and likely on the outside looking in for the Big 12 championship. And OSU is looking strong - offense is starting to click, defense is very capable.
