People say Alabama had its shot? Well, Oklahoma State had its shot, too. All the Cowboys had to do was win their final two games and they were in the title game. Then they went to Ames and were shocked by 29-point underdog Iowa State.

That invoked a little-known BCS bylaw, rule 10.3.1.14, which reads thusly: Any team that loses to Iowa State is automatically ineligible to win the national title.

Alabama lost by three to the undisputed No. 1 team in the land. Oklahoma State lost to a Cyclones team that finished 6-6. There is no comparison.

we better hope not if we want a NC....they seem to beat us alot..........

It does make you wonder though, how the **** did the Oklahoma State University Cowboys lose to the Iowa State Cyclones? I was actually happy for the residents of Ames but I cannot understand how a team with so much talent and in a position to play for a national championship could lose to ISU. There's pride in losing to the Sooners, but the Cyclones? Forde is absolutely right.

He's 100% correct.

Friday morning before the game the OSU coaching staff (and team) learned that two of their peers died in a plane crash. simple as that. OSU was sleep walking out there.

One of the many reasons Iowa will never sniff an NC.

So you're saying Iowa is never going to beat ISU again?

So when they were up 17 points they then started to think about the Crash?

I really think this year is the ceiling for isu. They loose 2 d-line starters, two cb's, 2 wr's, and both tackles. This years D was solid. Don't think they recover from these losses
