... in the year it can hurt but probably not help the B12 winner get to the playoffs.

But regardless we’ve got it and it’s a good matchup ... hard to beat a good team like TCU twice.  Usually games between these two teams are close and the Froggies occasionally pull the upset:

Patterson is a truly great coach with huge success from such a relatively small university.  What will he and his coaches conjure up to jam a stick in the spokes of the highest yardage offense in OU’s long and storied history?  

Will the Frogs pull out some of their own offensive tricks to exploit the sometimes porous OU defense?

Who knows what nefarious schemes lurk in the minds of Horned Frog Nation?

I was skeptical but willing to see how it played out this year.  As I was expecting, it will have no good purpose other than a money grab and could cost the Big 12 a CFB playoff spot.

That said, I'm glad to see the Sooners and Baker Mayfield one additional time and this looks like a great game.

320 mentioned wanting an 8 team playoff, well we pretty much have it this weekend with Clemson-Miami, Auburn-Georgia, Wisconsin-Ohio State, and OU-TCU.

That part of you needs to be exorcised.

I hear ya but if UT isnt a part of it I normally root for the Big12

If the Sooners win and go to the playoffs, TCU goes to a New Years 6 bowl and the other Big 12 teams, including Texas, move up a notch in the bowls.  It also means substantially more money for the conference.

There will be a new Big 12 trophy presented to the winner.  It would look good in the new Switzer Center.

A half dozen championships blemished by scandal and cheating and they still erect buildings and name them after Switzer.

Only, and I mean only, at OU.

Yep, he’s a hater
