How do you figure that lived out to be true?? OU dominated teams all season long. OU lost it's "one" game after every other team in Division 1A lost their's. They played bad, no doubt. Don't know if distractions of Stoops and all the media hype had anything to do with it or not, but they still lost. Does that make them any thing less than the best in the country? They were so far ahead in the BCS that they are STILL #1. OU and LSU both lost to ranked teams. USC lost to an unranked team. OU and LSU both have similar schedule strengths. USC had a bad one. Notre Dame and Hawaii both needed to win for them to be in the Sugar Bowl. Neither did. A fact that shows USC's schedule strength wasn't there.

And before you start quoting Les Miles, remember what happened immediately thereafter!
