I often ponder, briefly, as pondering deeply is not my thing, if Texas and OSU played 100 times, who would win the most games (in Texas' statdium)?
Most would agree it would be pretty close to 50-50, randomly, one team would probably win ~53 . Is that the better team? Or would it be statistical wobble?
Maybe one side really is better, I dunno, but I note the AP poll dropped OSU to 6, I think, and bumped Texas to 1, implying they "think"? the difference is consequential. Maybe they could have put Texas at 1 and OSU at 2, I'd be find with that, but of course, the poll people look at losses.
