ok first off Kentucky isn't a good team. The teams they've beaten have a 8-12 record. And ok, OU hasn't beat any SUPER dope teams, but they beat a Cincinatti team that is 4-0 besides playing OU, and a TCU team who is 5-0 besides playing OU. TCU just won 41-7 today. And besides OU they have avg giving up only 6-7 ppg. Both aren't top tier teams but they are quality opponents. and OU completely dominated both of them.
EVERY game this yr OU has put up 35+ games, and dominated their opponents, and Bradford has looked impressive. So where's the knock on OU? It's not their fault they haven't played a top 5 team yet. All that matters is they played the teams they played, and dominated on both sides of the ball every game. They have outscored their opponents something like 150-3 in the first quarter so far.
Alabama have looked good so far. But today's game was pretty sloppy. Alabama had plenty of chances to put the game away, but Jon Parker couldn't step up and make plays that he should have. They let Kentucky hang in there, then their best defensive player bit on an underneath route and allowed an easy quick score and had to let the game be decided by an onside kick. Those were sloppy mistakes that a #1 team shouldn't make.
And Kentucky is no great team either. The teams they've played, NONE have a winning record and only one is .500. SO Kentucky's 4-0 start is nothing special. Their offense sucked, and defense wasn't too great.
Had it not been for Alabama's good defense early on and getting that fumble ret for a TD they could have easily been the next upset victim.
As of now the voters have done a good job choosing OU #1. and I think this week only strengthened that and has caused Bama #1 supporters to rethink.
