Or BYU's not that great this year - we won't know 'til later to see just how good or bad each team's non-conference schedule really was. And Air Force played who last year? Let's see, they beat Nicholls State, New Mexico, San Diego State, Wyoming, Colorado State, Army, UNLV, and then Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl...
Color me under-whelmed...
But I suppose the Sooner faithful have a lot more respect for any team that finished the season with the same record (8-5) last year
