I don't get the headline. OU has clearly made the post season at this point. They are fihting for seeding. Even a complete melt down is likely still an NCAA appearance and certainly an NIT appearance.

Which is more dramatic?
"Fighting for a bid"
"Fighting for seeding"
"already in"
Headlines are to sell papers and not report the news anymore.

It is indeed all about selling newspapers by creating interest through dramatic or negative headlines.
Keep in mind, however, that this article focused on a halftime scene and the importance of the Texas Tech game last week, when an OU loss would have definitely hurt our chances for an NCAA bid. At least that's what I got from the headline.
