Seven seed has all the advantages of a 10 seed plus having a first-round home game.
SC has to show they can win a meaningful road game, but if they do, suddenly we have a 10-point win over a playoff team and all the squawking heads can have crow for Thanksgiving.
Will Oklahoma have a hangover from beating Bama? The Sooners' D is great but their offense is woeful. Mizzou starts a third string, true frosh QB, but they have a good running game and a solid D. They could hang around and pull off a stunner in Norman, especially because I think Drinkwitz is a far superior head coach to Venables.
Wouldn't it be great to launch a second playoff run by tormenting SC again?
