Bob Stoops vs. Pete Carrolwhat's funny about that game......a lot of Okl people crying the blues today
things were fine when Stoops was the coach...went downhill when he made his brother the def coord
team still good but stumbled on occasion
Stoops brother leaves to take a coaching job....stoops gets a new def coord
stoops brother fails at coaching and returns to okl
the def coord finds out stoops brother is returning and decides to leave
where does he go?.....you guessed it..Clemson
I thought this was a discussion about College FOOTBALL Venues...???College Basketball Power Rankings: Michigan State reigns, Duke slips, Kentucky vanishes
Welcome to Sporting News' College Basketball Power Rankings.
Well, first of all (Charles Barkley voice), this is not the AP Top 25 poll or an analysis of it. As much as we sought to review each team's resume up to this point, we also sought to project how they might fare, given their history and upcoming schedule, over the course of the next week and beyond.
So, for example, if you're looking for Kentucky, you won't see it listed in our top 25 rankings. What have the Wildcats done other than blow out Louisville and barely beat a sliding Texas A&M squad? (We'll wait.) They have a couple road games this week before they face Florida, and a big road matchup against West Virginia on Jan. 27 to show us who they really are.
And, sure, Duke is seventh in the ACC right now and struggling on defense, but we see that loaded roster turning things around real quick, fast and in a hurry. So, that's reflected in our Power Rankings with the Blue Devils in the top five.
Get it? Good. Let's check out Sporting News' College Basketball Power Rankings.

sorry northsb...badgers not there.....you lost a great coach and things just not the same
my Hawks....good coach but just not a great coach
The Big Ten looks like week-old turkey after the ACC exposed it in the conferencesā annual showdown, winning 11 of 14 games.
Michigan State is the Big Tenās saving grace, looking like a Final Four team every time it takes the court. Minnesota has the talent to make some late-season noise. Purdue could be a sleeper. The rest of the conference is a lump of disappointment so far.

Never said you were an "oki" fan. Just reminding all concerned that this is a College FOOTBALL Venue thread.well first off....if you went back and read....i was just keeping up with the conversation........and i see you went with the football thing in your post above....so why are questioning me
I'm guessing you didn't go back far enough to read....I am NOT an okl fan...my job moved me here
Back in the Day...2005...This was the place for great football! Babes, Beer and Football...aye memories...

Really curious to see how Wisconsin does with the new coach and an offense that doesn't remind you of the leather helmet days.well northsb....looks like we are well positioned ...again.....hope for better out come next time
1. Georgia. The defending back-to-back national champions still project as the nation's top team with college football's premier defense and what should be an even better offense after adding wide receivers in the transfer portal.
2. Michigan. Back-to-back Big Ten champs and College Football Playoff semifinalists, the Wolverines have the firepower on offense to make it three straight, especially with both star running backs coming back.
3. Alabama. Much is made of what the Crimson Tide lost, but it still has plenty of skill in the back seven defensively to build with and promising speed at receiver and running back to help whoever wins the quarterback job.
4. Ohio State. Ryan Day has a program-defining decision to make at quarterback, but the pieces around him are some of college football's best, especially at wide receiver.
5. USC. Heisman quarterback Caleb Williams returns armed with elite skill targets all over the field, but the Trojans' hopes hinge on the team's ability to overhaul a defense that cost the team in key postseason games a year ago
6. Florida State. One of college football's potential bracket busters this season, the Seminoles return vital experience at quarterback and defensive end, can still run the ball with confidence, and scored key transfer additions.
7. LSU. Returning production on both sides of the ball plus notable transfer additions should keep the defending SEC West champions in the race all year. Denver Harris steps in at cornerback after moving in from Texas A&M as a former five-star, alongside returners like Maason Smith and Harold Perkins, two of the nation's premier front seven
8. Washington. College football's top passer returns to a Huskies offense that took a huge leap forward last season and also brings back its two 1,000-yard receivers to make a run in the Pac-12.
I see where Ohio St. and Mich St. are ranked in the top ten for toughest schedules this fall...............Mmmmmm
hopefully do better than we did in march madness.....down to NONE!
I think we do have 5 schools in the top 25....funny Ala over rated!Really curious to see how Wisconsin does with the new coach and an offense that doesn't remind you of the leather helmet days.
I think the Big 10 decided if you can't win it all then just keep adding schools and eventually they will win by default
I guess I'm getting old, I prefer Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan etc.. Playing USC in the Rose Bowl not in September and October. But nobody cares what I think so I guess just deal with itI think we do have 5 schools in the top 25....funny Ala over rated!
things getting crazy with the realignment though
got to agree with you.......hate to break tradition........what about Oregan and Washington now in Big10.......do not see that as a good move at all.....but you have all these teams wanting to go where the money is......but I have yet to see why anyone would want to go to Big 12I guess I'm getting old, I prefer Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan etc.. Playing USC in the Rose Bowl not in September and October. But nobody cares what I think so I guess just deal with it
I thought I heard Arizona and Arizona St did. I may be wrong thoughgot to agree with you.......hate to break tradition........what about Oregan and Washington now in Big10.......do not see that as a good move at all.....but you have all these teams wanting to go where the money is......but I have yet to see why anyone would want to go to Big 12
2 more coming next year...not sure who....they might be next yearsI thought I heard Arizona and Arizona St did. I may be wrong though
The money grab is real, ar some point college football needs to split and be its own thing. It is obvious decisions are being made that are result of football.I think we do have 5 schools in the top 25....funny Ala over rated!
things getting crazy with the realignment though
I think Iām the long run they will be fine, but it is tough to change philosophy that has been around since I can remember. Great defense great running gameā¦Really curious to see how Wisconsin does with the new coach and an offense that doesn't remind you of the leather helmet days.
