You may very well be correct but I was thinking they would want to keep tOSU in the top 10 so they can tout the Penn State/Michigan/tOSU games as top 10 mach ups and if none come out undefeated they can use the "their only loss was to a top 10 team" argument,
Kudos to Bob Stoops for handing over the reins to Lincoln Riley while the program was stacked. A lot of guys in that position would wait until it begins to erode.
