"Oklahoma State could play the role of spoiler on Saturday. According to ESPN's Football Power Index, there's a 77 percent chance the Cowboys will beat at least one of Texas, Oklahoma or West Virginia. The Longhorns enter Saturday on a six-game winning streak, their longest since 2013, when the streak was snapped by ... Oklahoma State."
1. No shit a team has a 77% chance to beat 1 of 3 teams, jesus christ, that is just a horrible statistic an idiot would buy.
2. Oklahoma State snapped Texas' 2013 winning streak. I mean what the fuck? The past (5 fucking years ago) has no bearing on what is going to occur in the future. This isn't a neutral site rivalry game for Christ's sake.
3. 2014 tOSU lost to a shitty Virgina Tech (led by Michael Brewer, brother of one Charlie Brewer who wasn't offered by Texas even though his dad and grandfather played for the Longhorns) and still went on to be in the playoffs. Our loss to Maryland has no bearing whatsoever if Texas wins out. 2-loss teams should not be in the playoff, but I wouldn't put it past ESPN to make it happen for an SEC team.
