This was a really, really even game. Basically, TCU had the efficiency edge (as it has all year), Oklahoma's big plays were a little bit bigger, Oklahoma was better on first down, TCU was better on second and third down, and Oklahoma's two turnovers were worth slightly more than TCU's three. And TCU might be a top-10 team again.
