Oklahoma got just what the doctor ordered against Texas A&M last night. No, it wasn’t a perfect performance, but it was one that definitely graded out as an A.

     This was the best overall performance by the Sooners since September. They were very good on both offense and defense. There weren’t a lot of break downs. They accomplished the two goals jhey had established for this game–run the ball well and don’t turn it over.

     Now Texas A&M isn’t anything to brag about. Dennis Franchione was coaching like a guy who knew that he was going to get fired later this month. Still, the Aggies aren’t that bad on defense.

     Sam Bradford looked very good. Once again he looked comfortable and he was accurate. The key for him now is playing well on the road. That’s going to have to occur in 13 days from now at Texas Tech.

     Oklahoma may not be in bad of shape as some thing right now for getting a chance to play in the national title game. Currently they are No. 4 in the polls. They don’t trail Oregon by a great margin. What the Sooners need is for Kansas to be unbeaten going into the Big 12 title game.

     The Jayhawks are now fourth in the latest BCS standings. A victory over them would be huge in the computers and it could push OU past Oregon in the human polls. Don’t forget, the human polls count for 67 percent of the BCS equation.

     I think LSU now runs the table, especially if it meets Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference championship game. I also think Oregon wins out. However, I get the feeling that Ohio State goes down at Michigan. . .

     THIS LATEST OSU loss to Texas might be the worst meltdown of them all. You could have blamed the other two on Vince Young. No one was stopping that guy.

     This time it looked like the Cowboys were playing like, “On no, here comes Texas and it’s going to happen to us again.” When they had to make plays, they just couldn’t.

     And for now the talk has to stop about winning a Big 12 South title. The talk now has to center on how to figure out how to get to a decent bowl game. If they finish at 6-6, it may put them in a precarious position.

     The bottom line is that this Oklahoma State defense is really bad. It seems like no matter who the players are, no matter who the defensive coaches are, when the Pokes play a good offense their defense gets lit up.

     This will be an interesting test with Kansas coming to town. Mike Gundy is going to have some kind of task to get his players to forget what happened against the Longhorns.
