The 2010 Okie State game hurt our overall rating IMO

Those numbers don't take into account the opponents you play, which is why I prefer S&P+. If you play a bunch of top offenses, and have a top 20 defense, that's more impressive than playing crap offenses and being top 10.

I agree, but I remember the 2010 defense being frustrating because we couldn't stop the run. Obviously that defense was better than I remember, which is probably because that 2009 defense was so good.

Yeah, looking at the game by game, we essentially had a bad game vs Okie state (top offense), and Texas (no excuse for that) and then in the bowl game, we just pulled an SEC and weren't motivated.

That was a really fun read, thanks for posting @Saunders.

 

At the same time I can't help but watch those Big XII highlights and not plead for Niles Paul to cut that punt return in the 4th quarter to the outside..
