Some schools OU has scheduled to play:

Tennessee
Miami
FSU
Notre Dame
LSU

That doesn't exactly look soft.

as i have stated before, bob stoops is a respectable coach. he is not a great coach. his oklahoma teams often make it to a bcs game but seldom win. if he coaches in a more competitive conference, such as the sec, no way is he winning the conference championships that he wins in the big 12. all he has to do now is beat mack brown and he's there. carroll, saban, cutcliffe, peterson, and now add a coachless west virginia team to the list of whippings that he has received of late in bowl games. put him in the sec and he's a young thinner cpf.

Everyone is allowed a few bad games now and then. He's still a very good coach, plus after the game he made an extra effort to spend time talking to the winning coach instead of just a handshake and a walk off.

There are, depending upon the comparison school and their middlin' bowl, $10-$12 million reasons it's a big deal.

Isn't that money split up among the conference? Also, fans don't sit around bragging about how much money the football team brought in. They brag about wins.

they do distribute it in the conference, but the amount remains unchanged. stoops isn't a poor coach because he's given his fans little reason to cheer about BCS games. He's been in them. We'd gladly take the appearances and deal with the diminished bragging rights.

Stoops is clearly one of the top coaches in the nation. The last two seasons have been difficult at best from a personnel front and he still steered his way into the BCS.

I agree with much of what you say. He is a really good coach and I would take him in a second. However, 4 straight losses is 4 straight losses. 2 in a row to underdogs, something to be said for that. And it is reality that is easier to win Big 12 titles than SEC titles.

I heard some analysis that said Pitt was constantly changing defensive alignment prior to WVU snapping the ball in their game. White would audible prior to the play and afterwards Pitt would change alignment. Analyst said this went a long way in stalling WVU out. He said OU defense never did this, they lined up as big bad OU and White picked them apart. If this is true, it reflects poorly on Stoops and the coaching staff. WVU is not bigger and stronger than OU, they executed better. Schmitt is not that fast.

I agree it was just funny you talked about stoops and not being prepared and white picking them apart and then ended by saying he was not fast...just found it funny...

I missed all of therealUT's responses after this post. somehow the scheduling thing must have destroyed his argument that Stoops is scheduling patsies.

Time would be better spent arguing UGA's OOC schedule is weak.

I've posted this before, but I like saying it... UGA will play their first scheduled game West of the Mississippi since 1958 when the go to ASU next Fall.

In all fairness... they are going to travel more:

Georgia Football Future Schedules

Appy St isnt looking as good to them as it did last year I'll bet.

Without a context, "overrated" is a fairly meaningless word. Overrated compared to whom?

There are 119 I-A programs. If 10 percent of them have a better coach than Stoops, then that would drop him under the 90th percentile, and I think most would agree that he would therefore be overrated. Are there 12 better college coaches? If so, who?
