OU schedules consistently in football and typically plays one of the tougher schedules in the country. This really isn't debatable as it has been proven by the BCS on two different occassions.
The philosophy for the football team is to play one big name opponent a year, one middle road opponent and hopefully one weaker team (but a school that does well in its conference). This year it was FSU as the big name team, Tulsa as the middle of the road team and Ball State as the weaker team. All of them are in Bowl games. Tulsa lost four games but if you look at the losses they are actually pretty good having lost to OU, OSU, Boise and Houston. Those schools combined for 5 losses with OU losing three of them. I think Tulsa will win their bowl game because they have played some good teams.
Ball State's not going bowling. They were in good position to do so, but ended up losing 3 of their last 4.
