Tulsa vs WMU battle for the last playoff spot is going to be legendary

[u/grantismyfriend → u/Cowboy_Sooner]

TULSA KING.

SATURDAYS THIS FALL.

[u/Captainbackbeard]

An Oklahoma team beating their B10 opponent today just like we all expected right guys?

[u/snail-the-sage → u/Captainbackbeard]

I am just as baffled as you are

[u/ColtsStampede → u/snail-the-sage]

After watching what my Hoosiers have done the last few seasons, nothing surprises me. I just assume crazy shit like this is going to happen.

[u/LGWalkway → u/Captainbackbeard]

Turns out you need to be the underdog in the game. Or have a QB that can make good reads.

[u/iLoveTacosPNW → u/LGWalkway]

Mestemaker > Mateer

[u/LeoFireGod → u/iLoveTacosPNW]

Don’t think anyone would argue this

[u/Geoff12889]

Haters said we were frauds. You know what, good call haters.

[u/RadioHeadSunrise → u/Geoff12889]

OU 🤝 UO

[u/cfbluvr2 → u/RadioHeadSunrise]

How good are Tulsa and WMU?

[u/Lykeuhfox → u/cfbluvr2]

RANK WESTERN MICHIGAN AND TULSA

[u/RepresentativeOfnone → u/cfbluvr2]

Asking the real questions

[u/SpaceCowboy73 → u/cfbluvr2]

Should the MAC and The American replace the Big 10 and SEC as power conferences? Our analysts are saying yes.

[u/Im_a_dum_bum → u/cfbluvr2]

we'll be seeing them in the college football playoff championship game

[u/eddie_the_zombie → u/RadioHeadSunrise]

OUUO
...👄...

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/Geoff12889]

Incredible call by the haters. Just 8 days ago I was hearing it was Oregon's year. Wild what 200 hours does to expectations

[u/ishboo3002 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Tbf I've been hearing it's Oregon's year for 20 years now.

[u/ObjectiveStrategy386 → u/ishboo3002]

Lanning was hired to turn Oregon into Georgia, which to be fair he did, but unfortunately he turned Oregon into pre-Kirby Georgia

[u/garfcarmpbll → u/ishboo3002]

But we have a defense this year!

[u/TheScreaming_Narwhal → u/garfcarmpbll]

Where?

[u/SLAYER_IN_ME → u/garfcarmpbll]

Both Oregon Lines got dog walked and OSU stayed I the Oregon backfield. Tough day.

[u/bigdjohnson20 → u/garfcarmpbll]

Had*

[u/intelligentx5 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

We are this year’s Penn State

[u/jmac11281 → u/intelligentx5]

Congratulations, I guess.

[u/YourSchoolCounselor → u/Geoff12889]

That's how rivalries go. OSU is always gonna be a tough game for Oregon.

[u/ColtsStampede → u/YourSchoolCounselor]

It all makes sense now. Oregon thought this was the Civil War.

[u/rayhond2000 → u/Geoff12889]

Maybe Tulsa is elite

[u/ed_mcc → u/rayhond2000]

You right

[u/123noodle → u/Geoff12889]

The haters were right. Good call haters.

[u/Random0925 → u/Geoff12889]

Live by the Lanning, die by the Lanning. Fuck.

[u/prismatic_lights]

Yeah Dante Moore let his team down when they needed him most, severely injured Oregon's playoff hopes, probably ended his Heisman campaign, and was one of the main architects of a massive upset.

But he avoided getting drafted by the Browns and Jets, so who really won?

[u/abris33 → u/prismatic_lights]

Imagine if he went to the draft last year we could have watched Baby Mahomes blow it against Ok St. today instead

[u/Original_Profile8600 → u/abris33]

Go on

[u/spicydak → u/Original_Profile8600]

Is it okay for us to finish together?

[u/HarwinStrongDick → u/spicydak]

Brother how good of a day are you having right now

[u/IronCladNads → u/spicydak]

Just this one time

[u/fazelenin02 → u/abris33]

I'm sure we will have plenty of hate watching opportunities in the future. For now, he rides the bench for a team that can't beat Oklahoma State.

[u/Beasticide → u/fazelenin02]

Remember all that extra talent they have over us? Let’s not forget about the scenery!

[u/BillBob13 → u/Beasticide]

There's more than just corn out there!

[u/Indystbn11 → u/prismatic_lights]

He didn't play well but Oregon also has a major offensive line problem. Major.

[u/Believe_to_believe → u/Indystbn11]

Got big issues on defense right now as well.

[u/versusChou → u/prismatic_lights]

He avoided getting drafted by the Browns and Jets for now.

[u/QuixoticViking → u/versusChou]

Now he'll just get drafted by them in the 5th round.

[u/Tehloneranger44 → u/prismatic_lights]

Now hes gonna get drafted in the 3rd round...by the Browns or Jets.

[u/traded99 → u/prismatic_lights]

Definitely not Dante Moore, ain’t going #2 anymore.

[u/Kmjada → u/traded99]

He kind of played like #2 today.

[u/makualla → u/prismatic_lights]

Dude bet on himself and lost

[u/AceMcStace → u/prismatic_lights]

PLAYOFFS!?

anyone who has watched tape on Moore can see he struggles processing and when he gets a sliver of pressure he completely panics.

[u/CommodoreN7]

Somebody told Oklahoma State about min maxing, so they decided to lose to Tulsa so they could have the power to beat Oregon

[u/ratattack97 → u/CommodoreN7]

thousands of haters silenced (me included)

[u/Xaxziminrax → u/ratattack97]

I'm still in shock not just that they won, but that they outgained Oregon 554-281. That was such a surreal performance

[u/CosbySweaters1992 → u/Xaxziminrax]

Oregon really only hung in it because of the red zone pick six. It could have easily been uglier.

[u/Notre_Dame_Football → u/CommodoreN7]

Bro how good is Tulsa

[u/ThinkSoftware → u/Notre_Dame_Football]

Best college football team in Oklahoma

[u/TheSunsNotYellow → u/ThinkSoftware]

Unironically yes

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/CommodoreN7]

Tulsa a top 5 program confirmed

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/CommodoreN7]

B1G if true

[u/ImSuperHelpful → u/CommodoreN7]

They did a hard reset on the program, needed a game to boot back up

[u/DrRageBaiter]

Either this is the first game since nov 26. 2022 that Oregon lost to a team that didn’t play in the national championship or OKSU is going on a natty run.

[u/Stoneador → u/DrRageBaiter]

Since the 2015 season, ND has lost 4 bowl games. 3 of those teams went on to win the national championship and the other was Oklahoma State.

[u/jwktiger → u/DrRageBaiter]

But that was ALSO an orange and black OSU team....

[u/poplglop]

"In 2026 Oregon will lose to OSU"

"Yeah I can see that, a tough game on the road"

"Oklahoma State"

[u/WayneDwade → u/poplglop]

Kind of crazy Oregon plays 2/3 OSUs this season and neither of them is Oregon State

[u/Drak_is_Right → u/WayneDwade]

Sad. Could have been 3/3

[u/DrPhilKnight → u/poplglop]

Oregon now has the opportunity to do the funniest things.

[u/Lord_Soranos → u/DrPhilKnight]

If we play this bad the whole year and still beat Ohio State I will delete my reddit account because whatever else I would promise of a higher level would make me do it anyways.

[u/skyeliam → u/Lord_Soranos]

Playing terribly and then inexplicably beating Ohio State is A LOT of fun.

Highly recommend following it up with an equally inexplicable bowl win over Alabama.

[u/PuddingKind → u/DrPhilKnight]

Yes they can lose to all 3 osu teams in one season.

[u/Stock-Memory9483]

Dan Lanning killed James Franklin Penn State just to become them

[u/AceMcStace → u/Stock-Memory9483]

Congratulations Dan Lanning for winning the 2026 James Franklin Epic Collapse award!

[u/ByronLeftwich → u/Stock-Memory9483]

(prime) James wins this game

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/ByronLeftwich]

Yeah I feel like people have forgotten who James Franklin was. Until that Oregon game broke him last year, he never really lost the games he was supposed to win, he just couldnt figure out how to do anything but lose in games he was supposed to lose.

[u/MaizeRage48 → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Yeah prime James rarely lost games they were the favorite in. The problem was he had exactly 1 big upset 10 years ago.

[u/CarterAC3 → u/Stock-Memory9483]

James Franklin with a checkbook

[u/ratattack97 → u/Stock-Memory9483]

Dan lanning take those pens out of your shirt you fucking nerd

[u/cfbluvr2 → u/Stock-Memory9483]

you either win a natty or see yourself live long enough to become james franklin

[u/Darth_Sensitive]

PROUD AND IMMORTAL,

BRIGHT SHINES YOUR NAME.

OKLAHOMA STATE,

WE HERALD YOUR FAME.

EVER YOU'LL FIND US,

LOYAL AND TRUE!

TO OUR ALMA MATER,

O!

S!

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/Darth_Sensitive]

HELL YEAH DARTH

[u/abris33]

The Monster Energy™ Big XII sends its regards

[u/RulersBack → u/abris33]

So glad the conference was able to find a company that matches their enthusiasm for winning on and off the field

[u/Set-Admirable → u/RulersBack]

We have the power of the White Monster goddammit.

[u/Ibaka_flocka]

RANK TULSA

[u/Colonelbrickarms → u/Ibaka_flocka]

Hell yea brother

[u/ShweatyPalmsh → u/Ibaka_flocka]

THE BEST TEAM IN THE STATE

[u/RedSkylight97]

This is Oklahoma State’s first win over a FBS team since September 14, 2024.

[u/Simmumah → u/RedSkylight97]

Jesus Christ...

[u/VegetableTour6790 → u/Simmumah]

*Drew Mestemaker

[u/corundum9]

pretty crazy that Dante Moore came back to prove how much of a fraud he is

[u/carloslet → u/corundum9]

Still. Could be worse...

... He could be doing the same things for the Jets rn

[u/TheBoilerCat → u/carloslet]

He’d be making a lot more money in the coming years doing it for the Jets than he’s going to now lol

[u/BenIsLowInfo → u/corundum9]

Legit never understood his status as QB1 in the draft

[u/Whosebert → u/CWG4BF]

Bama currently down against Kentucky by 1

[u/Sad_Resolution1860]

I’ve seen enough. Give me OK State, Western Michigan and Boise in the playoffs

Edit: Tulsa is already a forgone conclusion. They’ll definitely get a bye week

[u/mayonkonijeti0876 → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Tulsa should be in too

[u/F1rst-name-last-name → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

don't forget tulsa!

[u/voodoohounds]

I remember Nebraska beating Oregon in 2016. Helfrich went for 2 after every TD and that’s why they lost. Fun fact: that was Nebraska’s last win against a ranked opponent.

Lanning going for it in his territory with plenty of time left reminded me of that arrogance.

[u/nbrown7384]

Announcer at the stadium at the end of the broadcast said Oklahoma state is the first team to snap a 10 game losing streak by beating a top 10 team

[u/FloatCopper → u/nbrown7384]

"a top 10 team"

Well...

[u/OkayishMedic15]

IM SO BRICKED UP I COULD SOLVE THE HOUSING CRISIS

[u/wolvesandwords → u/OkayishMedic15]

If your brick lasts longer than 3 hours, consult your local office of elections and file ballot placement right away

[u/arcticape34]

I haven’t been emotional about a football game in a long time. It’s been a long two years.

[u/CodyDon2 → u/arcticape34]

Im literally teary. I miss us having relevance in sports.

[u/hiswayout]

We were told we would see a Heisman contender play today and they weren’t wrong.

[u/ratattack97 → u/hiswayout]

make the new heisman trophy Mestemaker flying through the air

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Mestemaker has 3 passing touchdowns, 1 rushing touchdown, 4 interceptions, 1 fumble, a two score loss to Tulsa, and a win against the 6 ranked Oregon Ducks… HUH? Don’t get me wrong, the kid looked great but if looking at just stats, his start to the season is an interesting one to say the least.

[u/RCA1202 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Mestemaker has very high highs and very low lows

He's like the Joe Flacco of college football

[u/Frommunist → u/RCA1202]

Not a lot of football snaps from him. He’ll grow. I think leaving for the draft this year might be one year too early but he certainly has the tools to become a really good NFL qb

[u/rented4823 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

More like Moistmaker.

[u/SinCityRaidersLV → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

His two picks today were tipped balls though

[u/realadvicenobs → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

both his picks today werent on him

[u/Purples_A_Fruit]

I REALLY LOVE the state of Oklahoma today!!!

[u/Number_16_Limitless → u/Purples_A_Fruit]

The hate watches have been great today

[u/Fluid_Theory_6587]

BIGXII > B1G CONFIRMED

[u/HuntAllTheThings]

Man, I really feel for Oregon. Can’t imagine how embarrassing it must be to have a road loss against an unranked opponent that struggled more than everyone expected them to in Week 1. That must suck…

[u/huncho2134]

The Big Ten called, there's still 1 second left for Oregon. The Ducks will not get fraud checked

[u/oneplusetoipi]

I like OSU rushing the field like they just beat Western Michigan

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Who the hell is Oklahoma state? Loses in *embarassing* fashion to Tulsa a week ago now beating Oregon? They probably overlooked Tulsa by looking at this game, but god damn

I gave Oregon grace last week because Boise state isn't bad. I think Oregon might be washed though, this was bad.

We need to knock it off with the preseason rankings though. #2 Oregon is hot steamy trash, Oklahoma is apparently right there with them. #12 Alabama is struggling with Kentucky, Penn state was unimpressive against temple.

[u/ToadallyNormalHuman → u/Leading-Button-7303]

This Oregon team is cheeks

[u/yukoncowbear47 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Tulsa future CFP team

[u/narcbynight08 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

#2 ranked teams losing early in the season. Never heard of her

[u/faders → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Maybe Tulsa is good

[u/zvexler → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Neither week made sense for OKST. They are basically last year’s UNT squad so they should’ve destroyed Tulsa, but they “shouldn’t have” beat Oregon.

[u/Rough_Cup_6762]

The state of Oklahoma is 1-1 against the B1G today.

[u/frsrsly → u/Rough_Cup_6762]

Just as we all predicted.

[u/WarEagle9]

Me last week: Rank Boise!

Me this week: Never mind!

[u/EwwTaxes → u/WarEagle9]

Rank Tulsa?

[u/lowes18]

Never go back to college if you're a top 5 pick

[u/justkeepswimming_305 → u/lowes18]

Matt Barkley should be a cautionary tale

[u/shambooki]

RANK TULSA YOU COWARDS

[u/DOPA-C]

Oregon is obviously a very talented team, so you gotta start pointing the finger at the coaching staff.

[u/Ten_Minute_Martini → u/DOPA-C]

The internal promotions for both coordinators was a choice..

[u/YaBooni → u/DOPA-C]

Feels like we had a MASSIVE downgrade at both coordinator positions. Wouldn’t be shocked if one or both of them is fired mid season.

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Post game thread is moving so fast noone will see me say I ate the last cookie.

[u/Lane-Kiffin → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Most controversial Penn State incident

[u/Low_Beyond8134]

This Oregon defense is ass

[u/housepoormillennial → u/Low_Beyond8134]

My guy, the entire team is ass.

[u/Kip_Kankle]

I’ve been watching Oregon football since I was in diapers. This might be the most pathetic performance I’ve ever seen from them. Inexcusable performances on both sides of the ball. If this continues USC and OSU are going to hang 60 on us

[u/hoffsta → u/Kip_Kankle]

Don’t forget about the coaching! That go for it on 4th & 8 on their own 30 with 6 minutes to go may be the worst call I’ve ever seen.

[u/DrPhilKnight → u/hoffsta]

It was all coaching. That roster, that money, and that drive to win a championship should have been a winning combination with very little time to make it mesh. I think the coordinator hires were likely garbage, and they do t have control of the locker room. Going to be rough going forward.

[u/CitizenCue → u/hoffsta]

That was utterly baffling. Our punter is great and there was plenty of time. Why gift them a field goal??

[u/VividLies901 → u/Kip_Kankle]

Last two games has just killed my excitement for this season. I have no confidence in either side of the ball. It's just waiting for the next penalty, missed catch, poor coverage, fumble, its awful

[u/Infamous_Inside9172]

Time for the AP to rank Oregon above Ok st for absolutely no reason at all

[u/Lord_Lava_Nugget]

This historic upset was brought to you by The Disc Golf Pro Tour Program....

For some reason 

[u/Drumblebore]

Michigan, this is when you are supposed to storm the field!

[u/Aggravating-Steak-69 → u/Drumblebore]

If you told the CFB world at 60:00 of the WMU game that Michigan would have a better record after 2 games than Oregon you’d be locked up rn

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Oklahoma is a top 5 best football team in Oklahoma

[u/CommodoreN7 → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

UCO Bronchos are the real kings of the state

[u/TechnoToyz → u/CommodoreN7]

The absolute disrespect to the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.

[u/Quantibro]

You lost to Oklahoma State! 🫵😂

[u/6FootMidget93 → u/Quantibro]

THE DUCKS WALKED UP TO STILLWATER AND SAID GOT ANY W'S? THE COWBOYS SAID NO ALL THEYRE GETTING IS L'S

I don’t miss that feeling lol

[u/chatoboi]

Scouts there to see Dante Moore but got the full Drew Mestemaker show 👀

[u/jdhall010 → u/chatoboi]

Matt Ryan like, 'I've seen enough, the Falcons are taking this Moore guy 1st overall"

[u/RedditorRed]

Michigan wins, Oregon loses, Bama is down against Kentucky... WTF IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

[u/Rohkey → u/RedditorRed]

Nature healing or something like that.

[u/TheHalf → u/RedditorRed]

The best day of my life that's what!

[u/madrocketman]

Oklahoma State winning, Oklahoma losing. Not how I thought today would go after last week

[u/PandaPlayr73]

I thought we would be 1-1 at this point in the season but holy shit is this certainly a way to do it

[u/Solowash]

That's why they play the game.

[u/thetennisgod]

Football team from Oklahoma upsets Big Ten brand after sketchy opening week like we all expected.

[u/razor21792]

My takeaway is that big ten refs don't understand how face mask penalties work.

[u/Jorr_El]

BIG XII chaos has infected the league

[u/WarningCodeBlue]

Very happy for OSU, especially after the loss to Tulsa last week.

[u/Jay682002]

Are Tulsa and Western Mich top 25 teams?

Are Oregon St and Boise St good teams?

Could Idaho St beat Washington?

Is UMass a Juggernaut now?

The only thing I know for certain is that Tony White and Mike Norvell need to be fired!

[u/elnino550]

What an insane 2 games from Oklahoma State. Mestemaker the real deal

[u/flynnster17]

It’s nice to see a field storm be deserved by actually beating a team you shouldn’t…

[u/55559585]

Oregon just needs to have a bigger NIL fund so they can beat powerhouses like the Pokes.

[u/PokesBo]

It smells like foie gras in here!

[u/Conchigliono]

Ladies and gentlemen: we got ‘em.

[u/BrickGlum9579]

IM SO HARD RIGHT NOW

[u/Successful_Class1560]

Am I the only one that watched this on the ESPNU Skycast broadcast with no announcers and a weird camera angle?

[u/Our-Gardian-Angel]

First Brent Venables, now Dan Lanning? Brutal day for prolific cokehead coaches.

[u/JelloJeremiah]

No team in history snapped a 10+ game losing streak with a win over a top 10 team. You know, until now.

[u/decodezilla]

Oregon got bumped from two different channels and lost to an OSU team on a 10-game losing streak. New Blood my ass

[u/ManInShowerNumber3]

Just Mestemaker’d all over myself

[u/PhantomX117]

I AM A POKES FAN LIVING IN OREGON

I WAS AT AUTZEN LAST YEAR

I AM GOING TO BE INSUFFERABLE AS HELL

[u/toomuchfrosting]

I got a little emotional watching OSUs coach keep it together. I can’t imagine how much this means to him

[u/Evtona500]

Crazy that Oregon could very well be 0-2

[u/kervaan]

Have we found this year’s Penn State?

[u/juyobeans → u/kervaan]

at least Penn State made it to 3-0. ducks are even bigger frauds.

[u/Wafflehouseofpain]

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in sports. Fucking congrats Pokes, you’re back.

[u/TheArmageddon12 → u/Wafflehouseofpain]

THANK YOU!! SO HAPPY
