The CANES are the #2 team in the nation this week, looks like another National Championship year.

In the early years of football, things were very different from what they are today. Heck, in the Bud Wilkinson era of OU football, the OU Touchdown Club would pay HUGE signing bonuses to recruits right out of HS -- it was better money than the pros were paying if they'd play for OU. The social climate was just different though.
And as far as being the #2 team in the country.. it's a long season. Miami's SOS will catch up with them. IF OU beats Okie State and A&M, they'll come out on top.
If not, I think it'd be hilarious for OU to back into a "championship" game a la USC in the Fiesta Bowl against someone like an undefeated Utah.
