Lot of interesting stuff in here, but the funniest thing to me was the unspoken penalty assessed against the Sooners:
4. Oklahoma Sooners (10-2, No. 12)
There are 12 teams with two losses or fewer. Eleven of them are playing a New Year's Six game. The other? Oklahoma.
Is that reasonable?
Well, Oklahoma has the best win of the group by far, having beaten No. 3 Texas on a neutral field.
Oklahoma trails only Oregon among two-loss teams in FPI.
Oklahoma has five wins vs. FPI Quad 1 opponents. Penn State has one.
In Oklahoma's six games vs. Quad 1 foes, its average score margin is +12. That's better than Oregon's.
Oklahoma's two losses have come by a combined eight points, both on the final drive of the game. Aside from a brief 3-0 score in the first quarter against Michigan, Penn State never led in either of its losses. Ole Miss was outgained by 314 yards in its two losses. Missouri allowed 40 points per game in its two losses.
There is no conceivable reality in which the Sooners don't belong in the New Year's Six. Fortunately, they'll be in the SEC next year, where they won't have to worry about such shoddy treatment.
