OU Now Has 1 More Thing To Play For Saturday

It isn’t often that we go into a college football weekend knowing what will happen but thanks to Oregon State’s upset of USC Thursday night we do know that a new team will be crowned as the nation’s #1 team this weekend. Suddenly Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida and LSU are suddenly that much more focused going into Saturday’s games.

You would think that Oklahoma (currently #2) would be the first to have the opportunity to earn the top spot. Oklahoma has put together an impressive resume through their first three games and will host a nationally ranked TCU squad Saturday night. The Sooners lead the nation in scoring offense (54.7 ppg) and are 4^th in yards per game (556.7). Defensively they are almost equally impressive. Oklahoma only allows 14 points per game (20^th) and are allowing just 232.7 yards per game (8^th).

If Oklahoma needed any extra motivation to come out and dominate TCU then here it is. Just a win won’t be good enough. Oklahoma has to win and win big. The reason why is because a lot of attention is being given to the Georgia/Alabama and rightfully so. Georgia is 3^rd and Alabama’s #8 ranking trumps TCU being 24^th. An impressive win over Bama could boost the Bulldogs past the Sooners to the Top spot. That is why nothing but total domination is acceptable Saturday night.
