If we win or lose our measuring stick this season will be how we fare down the stretch in SEC play. Period. A win in this game is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. It's immediately negated with a loss to LSU or Bama or A&M. And a win over any of them is more of a statement than a win over Okie State. We've got Goliath on our schedule already.

Just an opinion... I think it was a terrible move for this season.
I totally disagree with this. You're playing right into everyone's hands. It would be a huge win, just as Ole Miss beating Texas would be big for them. We're not winning the SEC this year, I can pretty much assure you. So in no way would a win over OSU be negated with a loss to Bama. That's asinine. Of course beating Bama or LSU would be bigger than OSU; that is not at all the same as 'meaningless'.

If you don't think wins over nationally known and ranked opponents on national tv are good for the program, I'm not sure what to tell you. But I can't stand the thought process of, 'Let's not play any hard games. Think of the potential negatives!'

Well, I'm thinking of the potential positives, and they are very good.
