This is a what have you done for me lately/complete resume poll. Each week I’ll be adjusting positions based on how teams have played, who they have played, and finally how they lost. Last week’s poll won’t have an appreciable impact on this week’s. A team ranked 19^th, may stay 19^th despite 3 teams losing ahead of them.

As always comments are appreciated and will be integrated into the final ballot

I felt like calling this a review would be criminally unfair.

Positives:

Defense. Just about every facet of it. In reality, it gave up 3 points. NU's offense is awful, and OU kept them awful.

Negatives:

The defense with NU in a total offensive shell was unable to score 7 points. Hard to call that a negative, but it was probably the only way OU was going to score a TD last night.

When you have no ideas, no tradition and no creativity whatsoever, you just take somebody else's time-honored trade and call it your own.

OSU fans are known for waving the wheat (H/T Kansas) and firing their pistols (H/T Tech). This weekend, in a take-off of the Aggies-who-are-actually-somewhat-ok-because-they-have-all-of-those-"cool"-traditions, students are calling for a blackout.

In college sports, I figure you can never go wrong rooting against teams wearing orange: Florida. Miami. Tennessee. Clemson. Auburn. Syracuse. Illinois. Boise State. I hate all of them. Oregon State? Well, hell, they're another OSU, and they have the crappiest-looking college campus I've ever set foot on, so screw them, too. I can't think of any good reason to hate Bowling Green and Bucknell, but that's only because they're so easy to ignore.

So what should a Sooner fan do when the Sooners' two most-hated orange-clad rivals play each other? Just keep in mind the cardinal rule:

Always root for the Sooners and what's good for them.

And its corollary:

If it's bad for the Longhorns, it's probably good for the Sooners.

Let's start our preview of Saturday night's ritual beatdown of the Kansas State Mildcats with the one thing that the old coach is worried about:

I'm worried that 90-pound Bill Snyder will keel over at any time.

It's a common story, I'm sure you've heard it before.

After getting 50 dropped on you in your own house by your biggest, most hated rival, you deflect attention not by talking about what went wrong, not by saying the other team was better ... no, you talk about the size of people's girlfriends.
