OU Romps!

College football's game of the week turned out to be the beat-down of the year as the Oklahoma Sooners absolutely destroyed the second ranked Red Raiders of Texas Tech on Saturday night in Norman, Oklahoma. The Sooners won the game 65-21.

Oklahoma dominated the game. QB Sam Bradford threw for 304 yards and 4 touchdowns and the Sooners ran for 299 yards. The Sooner defense held the vaunted Red Raider offense in check and forced three turnovers.

But was it good enough to put the Sooners into the national championship picture? It is premature conversation considering that the Sooners still have to play a tough Oklahoma St. team. But, where should the Sooners be in the BCS standings?

Obviously, Alabama will stay at the top spot. But the big question is who is number two? Three teams will lay claim to the spot, and all have a right to that claim. Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma. Florida is a one-loss team in the tough SEC. Texas is a one-loss team in the tough Big 12, and perhaps hold the trump card with a victory over Oklahoma earlier in the year. Oklahoma is a one-loss team in the tough Big 12, but trounced the team that gave Texas their only loss.

So, who should get that second ranking?

Florida is probably the hottest team in the country. And Texas does have that defeat over Oklahoma. But the way the Sooners demolished Texas Tech last night (the previous number 2 team), I have to give it OU. Sam Bradford probably put himself at the top of the Heisman list. DeMarco Murray is a stud. And the defense showed it's mettle by shutting down Texas Tech. The way I see it: 1. Alabama 2. Oklahoma 3. Texas 4. Florida.

BUT...

There is still a lot of football left to play this year.
