They did lose a game but they also challenged themselves by going on the road and beating a talented if shaky OSU team without their star player. As opposed to the Sooners, who played an embarrassing OOC schedule of Tulane, Western Carolina and Nebraska and whose best win to date is against a shoddy Kansas State team that's currently sitting at .500 in a decidedly gross conference.

I don't know how consistent their methodology may be, but I like to see teams being punished for putting together particularly cowardly OOC schedules. The Sooners have done little to date to earn the benefit of the doubt.
