For a team that started the season sporting the second-youngest team in the country, lacking its three most vaunted receivers and picked by the people who supposedly matter to place fifth -- fifth! -- in the Big 12 South (that's out of six teams, folks), a New Year's Day bowl seems a bit beyond expectations.
Yet here we are coming off a win over the reeling "weren't we #3 last week?" Sooners -- yeah, the luck had to end sooner or later guys (forgive me that one) -- and already getting courted by the Gator Bowl.
A quote from Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett: "They've got an opportunity to break the Top 25 after all these games play out over the next couple of weeks, so they should be ranked, and they're one of the best offenses in America. If you're a college football fan and you don't like the way they play offense, there's something wrong with you.''
Granted, there are caveats. Two teams from the Big 12 need to get into BCS bowls, which, ironically, may hinge on OU not completely collapsing and tallying another loss against OSU this weekend, which is completely possible. So I think this weekend I'll be rooting for OU. And Kansas.
