there is another team in the nation that could compete with the top 3, except for maybe a healthy Alabama. I mean Oregon was beat by Auburn who finished like 5th in the SEC. Georgia got blown out tonight by LSU. As we saw last night, Utah was completely overated. Wisconsin embarrassed Minnesota and then lost again to OSU. Its hard to fault Oklahoma, a good football team, for not doing well in the playoffs, because its likely that no other team would do any better. I do think Oklahoma is about on par with Wisconsin, Florida, and possibly Oregon. Among this 2nd tier group I think Oklahoma proved outright that they deserved the 4th spot. Hard to knock em on their lack of success though because really the championship is between the top 3.
