Gritty team with a good QB. Favorable schedule and caught some breaks. Ball bounced the other way they could have easily been an 8 win team playing in the Duke Mayo bowl. Instead tonight, they met their maker.
Played six ranked teams and beat all but one. Lost to that one barely.
KSU twice (won once and lost once). - Ranked 14th
Texas - ranked 25th
Not counting playoff game against Michigan obviously.
Of the ranked “at the time” teams they beat OU and Kansas finished with 6 wins. Okie St finished with 7 wins.

I don’t think considering Michigan would count, since it was the playoffs. Hence, the Duke Mayo Bowl joke.
Also, 4 is not 6 (as you said).
Why wouldn’t that count as a ranked opponent
Also they played six ranked teams at the time they played them…
That is irrefutable
The bottom line is they didn’t play a cupcake schedule.

Obviously I was talking about regular season. They played Michigan in the post season. Great win for them though.
Their schedule wasn’t hard. If ND played that schedule you’d be ripping it. No?
