FW: [Husker] Oklahoma

> OK my take on why NU wins. OU is the last top 20 team we beat, when Stuntz took the pitch from Collins and passed to Crouch for the TD ( I could be wrong about this but I think its right) so its about time to do it again. NU is the team that stopped OUs 57 game win streak and although they dont have that kind of streak history says its time for another upset. OU is the team that broke NUs heart so many times in the 70s and 80s that it is time to turn the tables and do it to them.
> NU 28 OU 25

In the words of Bear Bryant "Those are all good things to have, but on Saturday you better show up with some players."  I'm afraid it's too tall an order to take this one, particularly in Norman.  Too many athletes, too much talent, too good coaching, just too much.  Impossible?  Of course not.  And oh what a win that would be.

> There is only one reason I wouldn't mind seeing OU beat NU this Saturday and that is if OU and Texas were to win out and Penn St and Bama were to both lose that should leave OU and TU as #s 1-2 and playing in the MNC game. I think this might speed up the process to get a playoff. There would be so much whinning about this being a rematch and we already know who won, about OU not even playing in their conference championship game and lastly and mostly that all the MONEY from the championship game would be going to one conference that something is bound to happen. So for the long term good of college football I could stomach a one point loss to OU.

I'm afraid this scenario would have very little to do with moving toward a tournament.  Much more dissatisfactory things have happened in regards to the current BCS system and it is still in place and will be for the foresee-able future.  It's not going to change anytime soon.
