Our state rules!
So, tell me, my fellow Oklahomans — how does it feel to be at the epicenter of college football.
The BCS rankings were released for the first time this season on Sunday. While I wish the BCS would crawl off somewhere and die, that is a diatribe for another day.
Why? Because our fair state is dominating play.
Check out my latest video commentary or continue reading below:
Oklahoma only has three Division I-A teams, but all three of them are in the top 20 in the BCS rankings. Oklahoma is No. 4, the highest spot for any team with a loss. Oklahoma State is No. 6, ranking ahead of the likes of Georgia and Ohio State and Florida. And Tulsa is No. 19, making a serious bid at being this year’s BCS buster.
These are grand days for our state. Everyone has something to cheer.
And the truth is, all three of the teams have an honest to goodness shot at playing in a BCS bowl. It’s not out of the question to think that the three teams could end the season with two or three losses combined.
Now, wouldn’t that be something?
But regardless of how the season ends, our fair state has already staked its claim as college football mecca of the world.
No other state has two teams has highly ranked in the BCS as OU and OSU, and only one other state has three teams in the top 20. That state is Texas. The fellas from Austin are No. 1 followed by Texas Tech at No. 8 and TCU at No. 14.
Impressive, sure, but when you have a gazillion teams in your state, getting three into the top 20 becomes a little easier.
Oklahoma is batting a thousand when it comes to teams in the BCS.
Perhaps it’s fitting that representatives from the two states will square off this weekend when OSU heads to Texas. No. 1 vs. No. 6 — doesn’t get much better than that.
Same goes for the state of Oklahoma. Doesn’t get much better than this.
