Best and Worst Case Scenarios for OU

My worst case is us having some key injuries playing a huge out of conference game before we've played a single in conference game. In particular I worry about Worley getting hit...often.

Best - OK hurts themselves and the OL takes a Huge step forward. we win 28 - 24
Worst - OK comes out firing, we lose another important guy to injury and can never turn it on. OK wins 45 - 7

Best case - - I just don't see us beating them, especially in Norman. If we keep the loss to single digits I will personally be happy, and since I'm going to be there I won't be embarrassed if that is the outcome.

Worst case - - lose by 35 minimum and I skulk out of Oklahama and hope I'm not ridiculed too much, especially since I am going to be with about 10 hard core Okies.

OU scout team would score more than 24. But they may be better than the starters so that doesn't answer anything for Saturday.

Best case: Our young players who have never been on the road on a big stage are able to seize the moment and play ball.

Worst case: The above doesn't happen and it gets ugly early leading to a national TV beatdown.

Considering there is a .01% of winning, yes.

You really need help. We would have to play them 10,000 times to have an expectation of getting a win? You realize that there are never odds that bad in a football game, right?

In 10,000 games between FBS and FCS schools, FCS schools would, on average, win close to 2,000. This is because they have won over 400 games in just over 2,000 attempts. Four times FCS schools have beaten RANKED opponents. And you know that only a small fraction of the 2,000 or so games were against ranked opponents. Moreover, even if FCS and FBS teams played 10,000 times, each of which involving a ranked FBS opponent, and they still only had 20 wins, you would still be saying that an FCS school is 20 times more likely to beat Oklahoma than is UT.

I know you're just pulling a number out of your ass, and I know you have a schtick to play up to here, but at least try a little bit to be objective and rational. A HS team has a .01 chance of beating Oklahoma.

Edit: In the interest of full-disclosure, I was being a little sloppy. The point about FCS schools being 20 times more likely of beating OK than UT on your account is assuming that Oklahoma is to the average top 25 team as UT is to the average FCS team. And it is ignoring the fact that FCS schools won 4 games in far fewer than 2,000 attempts. I obviously think that this is wrong, and that UT is much closer to OK than to an FCS school. But, that's all I need to show you that you're completely insane.

Not if they turn it over a few times and have penalties. That's what I meant by OU hurts themselves.

You're seriously accepting the claim that OU's scout team would beat UT? Our fan base has become insane. One non-blowout and we're all the sudden a a pop warner football team.

Best case - we win, Jones gets a statue erected in his honor, Vols will forever be remembered as the greatest team of all time.

Worst case - we lose, Jones leaves us and goes to Vandy. We hire Derek Mason. Knoxville burns to ashes.

It's funny, we spend most years on VN saying how the Big 12 is hot garbage and couldn't finish in the top half of the SEC. We play OU, and suddenly they are the '85 Bears. We can beat this team. It's not out of the question.
