Difference being they don't run around with an attitude about it, and I will disagree with you a bit in the sense that the number is not as true when it comes to the younger generations coming up.
I watched the BCS show and the under tone is all LSU ! Herb saying LSU has that IT factor! That being said it is all about scoreboard and beating a very good Bama team. The rest of the talk is just that.
BCS polls out 6 Okla ... Oklahoma gonna roll OK state ... and we stomp Bama ... 2004 rematch 7 Arkansas 8 Oregon We'll grease Stoops' entrails with the treads of our TIGERTANKS Watch it ... Mark it ... Oklahoma returns and runs the table ... King of the one-loss "queens" with Bama tucked in between Arkansas
Oregon is going to enjoy huge boosts in the computer polls over the next 3 weeks. Something that should catapult them ahead of OU if they run the table. The extra win in the PAC 12 CG would definitely propel them. OU or Oklahoma State with 1 loss won't make it ahead of a 12-1 Oregon.
