As much fun as it is to pull for a Stanford win today, it really is (statistically speaking) MUCH better for TENNESSEE if OU wins today. You want OU in game two due to the bracket flip. Beat them, OU flips to the bottom bracket. Lose to them, TN flips to the bottom bracket. Either way, you dont see OU again until the championship series. If OU were to lose today, LVs are stuck with them in our side of the bracket.
Not sure who we pitch either way. Both were pretty erratic and looked uncomfortable from the git to!!As much fun as it is to pull for a Stanford win today, it really is (statistically speaking) MUCH better for TENNESSEE if OU wins today.

I could be wrong but don't think that's the case, if we beat OU saturday we still have to beat them again before the champ seriesAs much fun as it is to pull for a Stanford win today, it really is (statistically speaking) MUCH better for TENNESSEE if OU wins today.
