Sooners Blow It, Lose To West Virginia 48-28

Missed tackles, penalties, a porous defense and lackluster offense doomed the OU Sooners in tonight's Fiesta Bowl as they fell 48-28 to the University of West Virginia Mountaineers. WVU humiliated the Sooners in the first half on defense and offense and added insult to injury in the second half, scoring on long runs through what had been one of the nation's top defenses against the run. OU was listless in the first half but began the second half with what seemed like a spark; that soon disappeared, however, as WVU carved up the OU defense. Typical of OU's game was a 73-yard punt return to the 11 that ended with an end zone interception after a penalty sent the Sooners back to the 21.

Fiesta Bowl: Sooners, Mountaineers Tonight At 7

The University of Oklahoma Sooners face off against the University of West Virginia Mountaineers tonight at 7 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl at Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The favored 11-2 Sooners are wary of the 10-2 Mountaineers, and for good reason; it was in last year's Fiesta Bowl that underdog Boise State staged a final-seconds comeback that cost OU the win. That game is now enshrined in college football history as one of the most bizarre upsets ever. The game is being televised by Fox (Cox 12 in Oklahoma City).

BCS Selects LSU, Ohio State; OU Finishes 4th

The latest chapter in the 2007 unpredictable college football season was written Sunday when LSU was picked by the BCS to play Ohio State for the championship, thus leaving about a half-dozen other candidates, including Oklahoma, with plenty to complain about. Oklahoma finished fourth in the BCS standings.

The Tigers (11-2) will be the first team to play in the BCS title game with two losses.

No. 1 Ohio State goes into the game, January 7 at the Superdome in New Orleans, at 11-1.

Why did LSU, which was seventh in the BCS standings heading into the final weekend, make the jump to No. 2 and into the big game, while Oklahoma, Southern California, Georgia and a number of others were left behind? an AP writer asked. He suggested that the "174 poll voters and handful of computer nerds whose calculations make up the BCS rankings probably all have their own reasons. Among the best is that LSU was rewarded for winning the Southeastern Conference, which is traditionally viewed as one of the toughest leagues in the nation."

Sooners Win Big 12, Advance To Fiesta Bowl

Coach Bob Stoops' OU Sooners handled the No. 1 Missouri Tigers 38-17 Saturday night in the Big 12 Championship game and now advance to the Fiesta Bowl. What OU's win over Missouri might do to the BCS Championship standings is unknown, but it's certain to cause yet another shuffle. Tonight's game was tied 14-14 at the half; OU ran away with the second half, hitting on all offensive and defensive cylinders. Missouri's fate was foreshadowed in the first half, when they had to settle for two field goals instead of touchdowns and OU scored two TDs. Missouri did finally score a TD and engineered a successful 2-point play to tie it up. Missouri managed only a field goal in the second half while OU tacked on 24 more points.

Bottom Falls Out For Sooners

The OU Sooners fell to No. 10 in the BCS rankings after Saturday's loss to Texas Tech, in which OU became the 11th top-ranked team to lose to an unranked opponent this season. This Saturday, it's bedlam in Norman as OU faces the OSU Cowboys. The Cowboys defeated Baylor 45-14 on Saturday.

OSU Shows Up, OU Doesn't

The Cowboys took care of business Saturday, defeating Baylor 45-14. The Sooners, however, fell to Texas Tech 34-27 in a game that wasn't even that close. The OU defense was no defense, and the offense, even with quarterback Sam Bradford in the game, struggled. With backup Joey Halzle in after Bradford suffered a concussion, it seemed to run in reverse. With the loss went any hope OU will play for the national championship, and they appear in a battle for a spot in the Big 12 Championship race.

BCS: OU Sooners Ranked 4th

With three weeks left to decide which teams will play for the national title, it’s Oregon against the Big 12 in a BCS battle.

The LSU Tigers moved into the first place in the Bowl Championship Series standings Sunday and the Oregon Ducks jumped into second place, a day after Ohio State was upset by Illinois. The University of Oklahoma Sooners are ranked 4th.

With three games remaining, including the Southeastern Conference championship game on December 1, LSU will likely reach the BCS title game in New Orleans by winning out.

The Ducks have three games left but they’ll have to watch their backs with three Big 12 teams looming, led by third-place Kansas.Oregon is past the toughest part of its schedule. The Ducks play at Arizona on Thursday night, have a road game against UCLA on November 24 and finish the season against rival Oregon State at home on December 1.

None of those teams is ranked, so if the Ducks struggle to a victory it could open up an opportunity for Kansas. Or fourth-place Oklahoma. Or fifth-place Missouri. If either of those three can win out, they could overtake Oregon, especially the perfect Jayhawks (10-0).
