    Did anyone watch Sportscenter this morning and see Trev Alberts and Mark May? It's well known Trev is an idiot, but now you can put May right up there with him! They both made the comment that Oklahoma has the best defense in the land. WRONG! READ YOUR STATS GUYS!

    I agree with them.

    Can you please explain to me why they are idiots because they think oklahoma has the best defense. These types of things are a matter of opinion, by your logic, TCU is better than LSU.

    they are actually ranked #1 in total defense. This was in today's Dallas Morning News:


    The only consistent place to find power is in the list of defensive leaders.

    Oklahoma's defense ranks as the best in the country. Second is Georgia, followed by Ohio State, LSU, Auburn, Miami, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and Purdue.

    Those 10 teams account for 16 losses, and Auburn (6-3) is the only one with more than two.

    because tcu is undefeated, and the tigers have one loss. my point is, and i can't believe you didn't understand it, was that you cannot simply use stats to form those types of opinions.

    It's quite obvious that TCU is not better than LSU, but a valid argument in our D and Oklahoma's D.

    While I believe LSU's defense is great and deserves to be up there with the best defenses, Oklahoma's defense is a lot more intimidating and dominating.

    yea your right, but the way you wrote the message, calling them idiots for thinking oklahoma has a better defense, saying flat out that they were wrong, look at the stats, gives a different impression than this -
