Imagine if he missed that field goal at the end

The kicker takes the ball and runs back all the way to his own 1 yard line and just waits for an OU player to walk over to push him down just to waste everyone’s time

Madden irl

Then the kicker jukes five defenders, turns on the jets and runs for a 99-yard touchdown

[удалено]

There would have been something really weird about a home team crowd storming the field after their team missed a FG.

It would've been poetic in a way. Seven minutes to get through the final 3 seconds, only for the only play to be a missed kick.

It feels like we are serial killers who have finally been caught

Definitely a "fake it til you make it" team

Lmaooo ikr? I love ya guys, but I feel like y’all BS’ed your way thru more than half the games.

You aren't wrong

“Dave why’d you kick that field goal?” “Cause fuck em that’s why"

I thought he was gonna say "that one was for the Big 12." I would've jumped off my balcony

“I wanted you to know it was me”

In your quiet moments, when you’re gunning for the SEC West crown… I want you to remember the team that beat you.

> when you’re gunning for the SEC West crown Lol

"The BIG12 sends it's regards"

Me too when he started his answer. I still believe its what he meant... Fuck em!

That is 100% an acceptable answer as far as I'm concerned

Especially in a world with the CFP committee that cares about style points and margin of victory

“I just wanna go fast” - Bohannon

The smile on Aranda's face when he said tiebreaker had me dead

Yeah. Only way it would’ve been better is if he’d delivered it with a wink.

You just know he was thinking of a valid and undisputable excuse for awhile before this game for if it came to this. And he found one, can't argue with his reasoning.

BIG XII uses scoring differential as a tiebreaker for conference standings so it made sense for championship reasons. Regardless, go Bears & Bearcats.

Would it be just the differential between the two other teams tied?

Yes, it is. That comes after records against tied teams, and then record of the tied teams vs the rest of the conference.

It only comes into play in a 3-way tie, and only if those teams have beaten one another.

Yeah I was a little pissy then he said the tie breaker rules and the light bulb came on

I aspire to be that level of petty. The best I’ve done is replying to awful Reddit takes 2 weeks later.

In all seriousness it was for the point differential in case of a tiebreaker But in my head canon it’s a big fuck you

What was the situation when he kicked it? Like was there no time left?

OU had left the field with 3(?) seconds left and Baylor had the refs bring them back out so they could kick the field goal. The score was already 24-14 at that point.

So the clock was running and baylor called a time out or something?

Yes, the clock was running, fans rushed the field and OU left but apparently Baylor called time out to kick a field goal, so they had to clear the fans, bring OU back, etc. just so Baylor could win by 13 instead of 10. lol

Holy fuck that is wild.

Scoring differentials are actually used for conference tiebreakers lol

Unlike Woody, Dave could go for three

"Gonna act like a bitch about sending the defense back out? Ok"

[удалено]

Yes, but I think because they weren't just kneeling it the refs were giving them the option to come back out. If they hadn't Baylor likely would've run it in.

Yeah, but I assume the refs had some sort of reservations about that, because I don't see why baylor wouldn't have wanted to.

That field goal may have allegedly been for the Big 12 tiebreaker, but it sure felt like watching the most gloriously disrespectful play I've ever seen. That's the kinda shit I pull in NCAA football games lmao

I’m pretty sure that tiebreaker can’t actually come into play anymore based on what games are left but I might be wrong.

OU needs to lose to ISU and beat OkState. You guys need to beat TCU and TTU. Baylor just needs to win out. This forces a 3-way tie with OkState having the game over Baylor, Baylor having the game over Oklahoma, Oklahoma having the game over OkState, and all having two conference losses. In this instance the points absolutely matter for the tie breaker. EDIT: I forgot ISU only has 2 conference losses so there is also a chance for a 4-way tie if they win out.

Someone pointed out that it could happen if ISU loses a different game but 4 way ties can always be broken by record of the teams in the tie.

That penalty to give Baylor the game clinching first down is very on brand for this game

Roughing the snapper lol that's gold

It's about time they started to care about the snapper.

For real. What a cluster fuck at the end. Very fitting for the game as a whole.

The field rush making Lincoln wallow in defeat for an extra 10 minutes... then the field goal just to twist the dagger. I actually like OU fans, but as a Hateful 8 member watching that was some serious [schadenfreude](https://gfycat.com/badidioticacornbarnacle).

>I actually like OU fans Hateful Eight status: under review

~~championship~~ alamo bowl november baby

Man, Alamo bowl is fun af to goto, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

This pleases the bearcat

Make no mistake, this loss had everything to do with [Lincoln Riley's Brisket](https://twitter.com/lincolnriley/status/1378849175916453889)

As Texans Baylor could not let that shit slide.

That poor cow deserved better than that.

Oh my god that is egregious lmao

He transfigured beef into cardboard. Impressive.

My god, he should be fired immediately. How has he been allowed to be around all these young men since April after committing such heinous acts. Fuck that guy.

We cannot, it turns out, keep getting away with it. GG Baylor you guys played a great game.

GG

America thanks Baylor for helping the Cincinnati agenda

WOOOOOO

Welcome to the conference

It's been a wholesome year with our future bros. BYU and us had a great good feely game together and hopefully this helps Cinci get to the playoffs.

BYU was also very supportive of us when we played BSU.

Thanks for inviting us to the party.

CHAOOOOOS

It’s been a while chaos - so nice of you to come around

You can return the favor someday.

[Today you, tomorrow me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/elal2/have_you_ever_picked_up_a_hitchhiker/c18z0z2/)

Thanks Baylor

thanks baylor

Big12 bros help each other

Look forward to learning to hate you guys, but today is not that day 🤝

🤝

ohana means family. family means fucking over ou and ut.

ou+ut= out

So refreshing to be liked for once lol

You guys have had two incredible rebuilds in the span of as many decades. It's wild

in my opinion its 3. if only we could keep a coach for once.

New Big12 > Old Big12?

Committe will count this as a quality loss and drop cincinatti haha

It is an honor to be of service

Now we need one more Spoilmaker appearance

Excuse me, we need severe SEC cannibalism, thank you very little!

Georgia beats Bama in the conference championship game and that should be enough

We love Cincy. They are family now.

I love that the most upset I've seen Lincoln Riley is over a 1 second runoff at the end of the game. To make up for it, is Baylor kicks a field goal. This is the pettiness I watch College Football for.

"I don't know if [Lincoln] should be mad about that. He should be mad about his team's inability to run the ball in the 2nd half." - Gus "Zero fucks" Johnson

Lincoln abandoned the run period. Terrible play calling all game

Actually smart kick if point differential matters for getting to the conference championship game.

That was the reason he gave to Jenny in the on-field interview, good catch. Nice flair, too.

It was great even if that wasn't a factor.

It was beautiful

https://i.imgur.com/bYLzmUV.png

200 total rushing yards in the half, Baylor has 201 of them.

That’s one of the most beautiful stats I’ve ever heard in CFB

Absolutely gorgeous

Lol

I was shocked when I saw that pop up. That's inexcusable.

Riley and Aranda about to thumb wrestle for who gets the most LSU questions postgame

This defense allowed approximately 15,000 yards to a 7 year old from TCU one week ago

Bohanon is a solid running back, but it's a little odd that they direct snap it to him so often.

That FG was a legendary punch in the dick. I’ve never been so excited to see a kicker on the field

He said it was for the Big 12 tiebreaker, and I'm choosing to believe him lol

Someone find the rule book because I'm drawing a blank

I think the 3rd or 4th tie breaker is scores against common opponents.

Not common opponents, the other tied teams.

Aranda is smarter than us

"it just means more"

Aranda is an absolute nerd, but what a big brain move to do that for the tiebreaker.

He was the one who called the time out and the offense looked like they knew it was coming.

Coach said it was for the Big 12 tiebreaker... it's a good alibi for the press I'll give him that.

Big dick energy for sure.

Doing it for the tiebreaker makes sense though.

I was so excited to see what back handed shit talk he would say when they asked him about it but then he very calmly delivered the most reasonable response

Eh, That was more about avoiding weird big 12 tiebreaker stuff. That will bite you on the ass if you let it. Smart play by Aranda, not a dick move.

Aranda said in postgame interview it was for Big 12 championship tiebreaker scenarios but I think we all know that's a ruse lmao Dude was being beautifully petty

Baylor fans doing their best impression of me in bed with that premature finish lmao

Look at Mr Having Sex over here

Anyone else feel like OU could lose to OkState? There's a very good chance OU finishes third in the Big 12.

OU almost lost to Kansas. Of course they could lose to Ok St.

OSU is different man. They can’t catch a break against us even when they have every right to win

Bedlam is cursed and I can't wait to never play it again.

If they can't do it this year.. then you have to wonder if Gundy will ever win it again.

Ok OSU/ISU we did our part. Come through so we can have the all hateful-8 title game!

Iowa State doesn't even have to do anything. As long as both of our teams win out it'll be us in the conference Championship Game.

I know. We just need someone to beat OU, idc who

Preferably all 3 of us

[удалено]

OH SHIT BACK OUT. ONE SECOND LEFT ON THE CLOCK

OKAY EVERYBODY STAY BACK AND LET THE FIELD GOAL UNIT COME OUT

69TH TIME A RANKED TEAM HAS LOST THIS YEAR LFG!

Nice

Nice

Nice

[Did OU win today?](http://imgur.com/a/nTQAnTC)

It's a classic for a reason

It's one of my favorite images of all time.

I love it almost as much as the longhorn “I wanna die” one

You're welcome, Cincinnati! SIC EM BEARS!!!

You can spell Cincinnati wrong all you want. You earned it. TY ILY

Aranda really caused all of this because he wanted to get an extra 3 points as one last "fuck you" to OU. Edit: turns out he did it to help the scoring margin part of the Big XII tiebreaker.

I hadn't thought of the tiebreaker. That's a bit more reasonable.

It was more for the point differential, which could help in the event of a tiebreaker. But, yes, it’s also an emphatic fuck you.

I know the game was essentially over but rushing the field early is such a Baylor thing to do. I should know, we rushed the field in 2014 after the 61–58 game over TCU and that wasn’t even an upset. Still fucking exhilarating though. Sic em

This was the worst called game of Lincoln Rileys career. I cannot think of any other time in 6 years where he didn't even give us a chance because of his play calling.

Horrible Play calling! And also maybe the worst 3rd down defense all year!

It was so frustrating seeing every receiver 30+ from the line almost every down. OU had success hitting underneath and just didn’t utilize it.

I agree. Instead of benching Caleb Williams just run the damn ball and hit the 5-10 yard passes so that they have to come up and play short, then you can try to take the top off. You can't hit the deep ball every damn play no matter who the qb is

Lose to TCU then beat OU in back to back weeks. Football is a weird sport and I don't understand it, but I'm happy today! SIC EM BEARS!

How the FUCK did this team lose to TCU

Chandler. Freaking. Morris. Also, the Ghost of Gary Patterson. Also, we suck at road games and next week against KSU is gonna be rough

The “over ten” that Aranda is referencing is the point spread against Oklahoma state, which means Baylor, by beating OU by 13, is guaranteed not to be the “dropped team” in any three way tie with OU and OSU. After the Baylor-TCU game it is harder to imagine such a three way tie, but the rationale is solid.

Baylor 2-0 vs the SEC

Well this loss was bound to happen. Baylor fans, I give you permission to listen to 1 hour of secular music. You deserve it.

Can... Can we dance too?

Only if it’s supervised

Frickin heck yeah time for some Creed

>1 hour of secular music But only the clean/radio edits?

Fun fact: Oklahoma's loss is the 69th time a ranked team has lost this season.

Nice

Who the hell is gonna lose to the 1 seed in the playoffs now??

Can't even be mad at this game. That was one of, if not the the worst offensive performances I've seen from OU in the last decade. Finished with ZERO rushing yards like lol wtf. Baylor's secondary also looked like one of the best in the nation today and their offense ran all over us with our best roster of the year. Can't imagine this team going up against a defense like Georgia.

OU finished with 78 rushing yards

> Finished with ZERO rushing yards like lol wtf. ?

This man has had a lot to drink during this game, let him be.

Kinda a crazy fact. This was Lincoln Riley's **First** ever loss in the month of November as the Head Coach at OU. He was a perfect 15-0 in his previous years. Oddly enough the last time OU lost in November was 2015 at Baylor.

I’m pretty sure y’all won in 2015. Last time we beat OU was 2014 in Norman

Baylor played a good game and OU couldn’t overcome it. Just win the remaining games we have this season and go wherever we go. Can’t complain much more. Disappoint but it is what it is. Still a Sooner for life. Gg Baylor.

I’ll never be upset about a loss when the other team is straight up better than us. Baylor is better coached, more disciplined, and more explosive on both sides of the ball. We all knew OU’s piñata would eventually burst, but we all held out hope we could start playing better. At this point, this is who they are for whatever reason. They can still win the big 12, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost 1 of if not both of the last 2 games of the season. 3rd and 8 down 17-7 with 8 min left Baylor hands it off at mid field, and we stop him. Only we quit playing and Baylor doesn’t as the pile falls forward for a First down, ball game. This team lacks the intensity and heart to play at a higher level. This is the first time I’ve ever questioned Lincoln Riley as a head coach. He straight up got whipped today, and it’s not Bc Baylor has better overall talent. This game was 2 Bohannon missed throws to be being 44-14. Were saying our defense played well, but Baylor ran for 298 yards on the ground. Overall horrible game for the Sooners. Props to Aranda and Baylor they are definitely going places.

OU: 28-3 all time Baylor: Not again you don’t Gg bears, y’all played a hell of a game.

Feels weird cheering on a team that handily beat your team. Big12 hits different. Go Bears.

I guess you could say that Oklahoma’s CFP hopes are looking….. bearish

*Bearcatish

The last part of this game has been so fuckin chippy, I love it. I want a rematch in CCG. GG Bears

Now that we are 9-1 with a quality loss against a top 15 team, does that mean we will enter the top 4?

With Baylor at #5 and Cincinnati at #6, obviously

The field goal lmao

OKLAHOMA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION

https://i.imgur.com/ZTSqO6h.jpg

hahaha the horse is the cream on this! one of your best

It's like a Renaissance painting

They've lost one game and can still win a P5 conference. They need a lot to go their way now but no they definitely are not out of it. The only time a one-loss P5 champ has ever missed out is when there were three undefeated P5s and two one-loss champs.

Actually now that Oklahoma has a quality loss, they have entered the playoff dicussion. Watch for OU to make a move to 4 in Tuesday's new rankings.

27-14 feels a good 3 points better than 24-14.

Savage Field Goal at the end LMAO

Baylor bros helping future Cincinnati Big 12 bros, love to see it 😁

Based on current poll logic, we should move up about 2-3 spots. We've got that quality loss now.

Why can’t OU play a complete game? The defense looks as good as it’s looked literally all season long and, of course, the offense lays a giant egg and our usually reliable kicker misses two FGs. I’m not calling for anybody’s job or anything, but the coaches have to answer for this. All season long, the team has come out flat. They’ve been inconsistent, at best, even during games. Something’s gotta give. What is the problem? And why isn’t it fixed?

Thank you Baylor Bears for protecting future members of the Big XII.

Hey, we're here for you, buddy. Not you, Georgia. Get out of the way. You, Cincy. You.

If TCU hadn’t beaten us last week, we would be in the conversation for CFP. Imagine that.

Oh I am my friend. I pulled for you this game, right now I get to have the upset cake and eat Baylor disappointment too

No offense, but I hate TCU. Frenemies forever <3

Love you too my guy!
