How do you feel about the schedule?
These past two years have been nothing short electric with the big games OU has played. Last year we played at least 4 games that would have been the biggest game on OU’s schedule since Baker went to the shoe.
But when I look at how I feel about that and how the rest of the country has seemed to want to get big games off the schedule by any means necessary to make the playoff, and I can’t help but be confused.
Everybody is saying that you should schedule easy game and take your chances with the committee. I just feel like we’ve gotten so far away from what sports are supposed to be.
Sometimes in sports, you play a good team and you lose and it ends up costing you your season. Sometimes in sports, you lose a game you weren’t supposed to, and that costs you your season.
But you know what else? Sometimes in sports, you schedule those tough games and end up getting a marquee win that is the sole reason for your inclusion in the postseason.
It just makes me sad that the sentiment is “Texas shouldn’t have played Ohio state” and not “thank god Miami beat Notre dame”
My question for the group is: how do you feel about OU’s schedule and how would you like to see them handle OOC scheduling moving forward?
