Sooners drop one spot in BCS standings

I expected OU to drop after their performance at Iowa State, winning 17-7. The new BCS rankings have the Sooners at #6 this week. OU is proving itself as a very bad road team. First the loss to Colorado and now an squeaker in Ames?? Championship-caliber teams don't play that way to a one-loss team, no matter where it is played.

Sam Bradford was off his game the whole day. I remember at least three chances he had for easy scores when the receivers had the coverage beat. Two overthrows and one under throw. The wind played a part, but Bradford was off.

The running game finally got going in the second half. If they could have ran that well in the beginning, it would have been a blowout. The Sooners need the next week off to get ready for the home-stretch. They will have to play much better against much better teams the rest of the way out, if they even want a chance at the BCS championship. There are still four teams in front of OU who could legitimately lose. Watch for Boston College to get beat by Virginia Tech this weekend. Also, Arizona State has a brutal remaining schedule in the Pac-10.

There is still a chance for our Sooners, but winning by 10 against ISU is not helping that chance.
