You want to talk media bias???

Post by Florida Hokie »

How many ways are writers bending over backwards to classify Oklahoma's win as "stunning" or "shocking"? You'd think ODU beat Bama by some of the reactions.

Oklahoma won its league title. Bama didn't even play for its league title. #11 over #3 isn't "stunning"

Oh yeah - well they spanked Okie State, opening the door for Baylor.

Yeah - so there.

Oklahoma was 17 point dogs. I don't know if stunning is the right word but it was a pretty big upset. As big as UCF over Baylor was...
