• OU's schedule strength: So far, it seems, Tulsa is OU's only opponent that has done better than expected. Texas needed five field goals to edge Central Florida. Texas A&M needed triple-overtime to outlast Fresno State. And Oklahoma State looked completely inferior to the third-best program in Alabama. If the Sooners are to jump USC, LSU and Florida in the polls, they'll need some of their own opponents to start playing better.
• Tulsa defense: The Golden Hurricane allowed 694 yards of total offense to BYU, including 537 yards passing. Last year, Tulsa had a good defense, but this year only 11 schools have allowed more yards per game than the Golden Hurricane.
