I shared a post that year that makes a heavy argument as to why OK State should have been in the game even with the loss to Iowa St.

5 top 25 wins, won their conference, and only loss was on the road.

Compared to Bama, 1 Top 25 win, didn’t win Sec or even West, and a loss at Home.

The dreaded eye ball test won the day. That’s when I realized that college football how turned into a beauty contest instead of rewarding what you did on the field. Damn shame that LSU got jammed with the rematch.

Reminds of FSU V FLORIDA in 1996. Rematch seems to always favor the team that lost in first matchup.

I blame T Boone Pickens for not dropping some cash to promote his guys. We all knew it was going to be a popularity contest after that Iowa St loss.
