They've played Florida State, a Cincinnati team that was beat by Fresno State and hasn't beat anyone of note, Air Force, and Utah State.

I'd say it's alright, but that's as far as I'd go.
I was more challenging your statement that everyone overlooks the cupcakes that Oregon, Ohio State and Oklahoma have played. Oregon and Ohio State for sure played at least a couple of cupcakes. OU hasn't played one.

As far as top 30ish teams go, I would still say OU had and has one the toughest schedules.

Their SOS right now is around #8 in the nation IIRC. Oregons isn't even the top 100 and tOSU is somewhere around 60.

Winless FBS schools and FCS schools are cupcakes.

Eastern Michigan (tOSU), New Mexico and Portland State (Oregon), are cupcakes.

USU could still become bowl eligible quite easily. I'd say its too early to call them a cupcake.

6-0 is all I care about anyway. I just find it funny that people think the top three teams have each played the the same level of comp. I LOL.

They'd have to lose twice... and it is possible. Here's to hoping!

TEXAS FIGHT!

Right. I was talking about big, historic type wins. Beating Oklahoma in a BCS bowl and beating Oregon the year the Ducks won the PAC-10 is all they got.

Beating Oregon State does not count for much. OSU is a good team and all but a lot of teams can beat them. Same goes for TCU.

Could happen, but I kind of doubt it FF. I think OU will lose at least one of their remaining games, but crap - week to week you never know in college football.

Go Sooners!

I can't decide which is funnier, your obsession with OU or the fact that you think ut will win 10 games this year.

and ut would have to win the rest of their games.

We all know which team is famous for losing late conference games and handing over the South title. (hint; it's not OU)

Sure OU could go 10-2 this year. I think 11-1 is more likely though. I really doubt ut goes 10-2 though. I'd say 8-4 maybe 9-3.
