OU -17 vs. TCU... Anyone Else Think This Is Another OU Non-Conference Blowout

[5-0SAT]

Sat, Aug 30 Chattanooga W 57-2
Sat, Sep 6 Cincinnati W 52-26
Sat, Sep 13 at Washington W 55-14

I mean doesn't the trend continue here. 50 + points. And a comfortable cover.


Thoughts?????

Yes, because this is going to be payback by the Stooper.

I also am one of a few that thinks that OU is the best team.

 

[hippieki11er]

I thought everyone only plays 3 OOC games per year now? Or do all conferences with CCG's play 4 still?

Pac 10, yes, others only play 8 Conference games.

Yeah i think Stoops is going to revenge that TCU win in Norman of a couple of years ago. I mean I really believe this is an unstoppable OU offense right now. And their defense, I mean SEC worthy. I really think it's just a blatant mis-line.

 

[bigtendominator]

38-10, 41-13 kind of game imo.

tcu, much like fresno, plays a power conference style of football. this isnt going to be a walk in the park for OU. frogs very disciplined and well coached. line might be a bit short but not by much. 20ish is a realistic spread for this one.

I take it the Big-10 doesn't follow the Pac-10 in this regard since they have 11 teams? They should still play 9 conference games (on some kind of rotation basis) as well since they don't have a CCG either.

The conference and the ADs won't agree because they are generally doing a 3-1 (meaning 3 at home and 1 road) OOC games. If they add the additional conference game, then it would end up wiping out 1 home game for half the teams and the schools want the revenue.

ou will administer a beating, they actually have a qb this time who can throw. tcu offense will struggle against a stellar ou defense. im on anything below -20

Agree... Bradford throws the most catchable ball in the country. I jumped on Bradford for Heisman +500.

Best OL in the country doesn't hurt either.

Couldn't agree more. This is an absurd line from the people in the desert. Must take advantage of this gift. Frankly, I'm on board on anything below or at OU -24. Le'ts party and cash on this misline.

TCU much better than overblown Fresno, If sooners do cover it will be with spread conscious late tds.

 

[5-0SAT]

It really could be OU 21-0 at the end of the 1st Qtr.

 

[GoSooners]

I'm not going to be quick to jump on this game...TCU could be the running dogs in this spot. They are by far the best team that OU has faced this season. They have a very solid defense, and are a well coached team. As a rule TCU has been a very good team in the dog role under Gary Patterson. And they have a balanced offense. The Cincy team that OU played in their second game is not as good statistically on offense as TCU. And Cincy scored up 26 points on OU.. OU will have been off for two weeks. This is not always a good thing. And they'll be without their best DL Demarcus Granger. Who may be out for the season. Plus TCU may be one of three teams in the MWC that could be BCS busters this season. OU will get TCU's best game here.

Yes.

but not 100% sure I will bet it.

It's not a running dogs scenario for 2 reasons:

1. it's greater than +4.

2. Strength of Schedule for TCU is very poor.

and yes OU's schedule has been poor as well, but that is arbitrary to the "take teams with greater yards per rush on offense that also have better yards per rush defense".

I'll look at it in depth tonight..But I tend to agree with you. Just taking a quick glance I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a running dogs scenerio for TCU..

 

[ou_guy]

with it being a home game they should be alright with the points...boomer sooner

the line should be more like 20,21.

but it boils down to 'will OU be held to some FG's vs Td's, and since OU has basically face no one that would be considered competitive, and has kicked a grand total of 1 FG...on the other hand TCU has allowed very few points all year, but to teams that aren't scoring much anyways. Stanford put up some points in their first game vs Oregon State, but that team isn't exactly an above average defense, Hawaii was a disaster of a team when the Beavers played them (I had OreSt -11/-12 as my 2nd biggest investment of the year)

OU has Baylor up next so it's not like they will be caught looking ahead, I just don't see the final score ending with anything less than OU by 20 the majority of the time, unless Bradford continues to force passes or OU stalls on some drives and has to settle for FG's.

Didn't the line open at 18.5?
