Pretty much.

Am I a horrible fan because I predicted OU would lose to BYU last year and then we did?

I actually started a thread, "Does BYU play for the national title if they go undefeated" before the season started.

Like who?

OU has also had better teams.

I'm not saying OU is going to lose. I think it will be a very good game. I'm just done setting myself up for disappointment.

OU- F
USU- A

OU's F was better than USU's A.

To answer your question, you can't tell how good a team is after the first game of the season. You can get an idea, but you can't completely evaluate the team after one game.

If your team is favored in a game, you don't predict them to lose. You're supposed to have confidence that you'll win the close games.

That's horrible logic.

If this was 2008 OU with Bradford at QB, OU would have won by at least 50. Championship teams don't beat Utah State by 7 points, they destroy them.

This was the worst team on our schedule. If we play like that against anyone else we lose.

I never predicted us to lose. Did you not read my other post with the link to the predictions thread?

I said I wouldn't be "surprised" if we lost. It should be a good game. I do not think we will blow FSU out.

Feel like FSU is going to win this one and I hope they do as I want both Miami and FSU to be undefeated when they play.

That Miami team didn't even goto a bowl game did they?

Cincy was pretty good but I'm not sure they were much better then this FSU team with Ponder.
