I don't follow college ball at all... but this is crazy.  They are on pace for 84 points in a playoff game.

 

Is Oklahoma this bad?  LSU this good?  Why is there such a disparity between #1 and #4?


Jaylon Hurts is a 3rd string QB in the NFL at best. Major difference at the QB position between these 2 teams.

Burrow is good but some of you are overreacting to an Oklahoma team that has zero business being in the CFP. 
 

They’re the sacrificial lamb because we need 4 teams, and to top it off, they play in the Big 12 where the athletes are nowhere close to LSU’s, and they don’t play defense in that league to begin with.

I wouldn't say that athletes are nowhere near LSU's level... Oklahoma recruits five-star recruit out the yin-yang and almost always have top 10 classes

 

The difference is in your last point where you said big 12 doesn't play defense and that is what we are seeing

The SEC is a different animal though.  Only Clemson, and before them FSU, have been able to out-athlete teams from that conference.   Not coincidentally, Clemson and FSU reside in the SEC footprint. 
 

....but yes, Big 12 is notorious for being the “no defense league”.   That just doesn’t translate against the best teams.

Oklahoma is full of guys with scholarship offers from Alabama and LSU.. they do have tremendous athletes

 

They just don't focus on the defensive side of the ball

 

Oklahoma has the best winning percentage in college football since world war II

...do they though?  Are they all committable?  I highly doubt they are truly beating out Bama, LSU and UGA for guys those schools truly want.   I’m sure they have offers, teams mass mail out offers.  
 

Yes, they have that winning percentage because they play in a trash league.  Kind of like Clemson right now, except Clemson is actually good.  Nobody cares about OU from the Stoops era. 
 

If we’re being honest, College Football is just the SEC, Clemson and Ohio State right now.

Stop the fight.

 

Not a game but a shame..

 

Insert further cliche here...

 

Hope the next game is more of a contest..

Well this one is only gonna be about how many TD's Burrow can throw.

 

I'd sit him now

Size and strength is a big factor in what separates the LSU athletes from the Oklahoma athletes. Oklahoma has good small fast athletes on Defense that is effective in the BIG12 but the SEC teams are monsters.
