Oregon's still going to be behind the Sooners in my poll.

So neither of them in the Top 25? Oklahoma just lost a good game to a tough team, but like Notre Ame against Southern Cal last year, this loss has been their best win so far. They really struggled against UAB and Washington - two horrible teams. They have no business in the Top 25 right now.

OREGON 34 OKLAHOMA 33
Ducks dump Sooners in frantic final minutes

EUGENE, Ore. ? In a wild final 72 seconds, Dennis Dixon and the Oregon Ducks had everything go their way.
Dixon rallied Oregon to two late touchdowns, with the help of a successful onside kick, and the No. 18 Ducks blocked a field goal on the final play to seal a 34-33 victory over No. 15 Oklahoma yesterday.
"This shows the nation we can play with the big boys," Oregon defensive back Patrick Chung said. "We beat Oklahoma, No. 15 in the nation, and now you have to watch out for Oregon."
Dixon?s 16-yard keeper with 1:12 left pulled the Ducks to 33-27 and set up the onside kick.
The Ducks (3-0) recovered the bouncing kick on their own 48-yard line, but Oklahoma (2-1) argued that an Oregon player touched the ball before it went the required 10 yards, which would have given the Sooners possession. Officials reviewed the play, but the call stood and Dixon went to work.
After a pass-interference call on Oklahoma again had Sooners coach Bob Stoops shaking his head on the sideline, Dixon threw a 23-yard TD pass to Brian Paysinger with 46 seconds left to give Oregon the lead.
Oklahoma wasn?t done, though, as Reggie Smith returned a squib kick 55 yards to the Oregon 27.
With no timeouts the Sooners ran one play, a run into the line by Adrian Peterson, then spiked the ball with one second left. Garrett Hartley?s 44-yard fieldgoal attempt wasn?t high enough to clear the line, and the Ducks celebrated.
"I was just praying we would get that onside kick," said Peterson, who ran for 211 yards. "Once we didn?t get it, things got really ugly from there. "
Oregon jumped to an early 13-6 lead, but Peterson?s 17-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter put Oklahoma ahead 27-20. It was Peterson?s fifth career game with more than 200 yards.
"Words can?t express how I feel right now," Peterson said. "Fought hard for four quarters and came up short."
Dixon completed 26 of 41 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted twice. Jonathan Stewarthad 23 carries for 144 yards. "It was a crazy game," Oregon linebacker Blair Phillips said. "I?ve never been a part of something like that before."

You know those complaining about the Oklahoma loss you can't expect to leave a guy wide open in the end zone like they did on the TD pass and you can't have a FG blocked Oklahoma lost that game pretty fair and square even if it was a terrible call the opurtunity was there for Oklahoma to win the gamek, they didn't.

Haven't read the thread but sure this has been mentioned but that is one of the worst displays of officiating I've ever seen and I feel for Oklahoma, their players, and fans.

If that would have happened in the Horseshoe, we'd have burnt the city down.

What a load of horseshit.

I hate seeing any team get screwed like that and hope that head official is pumping my gas by next week.

It's the replay booth guys that are the shocker...how the hell did they miss that? They watched it as many times as they wanted...

Hope the replay official is cleaning Central Park bathrooms with his toothbrush tomorrow.

What he said. Minus the burning of Columbus, of course!
