Edit: originally has Wisconsin in here, too, but if OSU goes undefeated they’d almost certainly have two losses.

Fair discussion point. That would be one hell of an argument *

Especially if Texas were to beat OU in the Big 12 Championship game, OU's win over Texas would likely be better than anything on ND's schedule, and I think Oklahoma would win the subjective "eye test" in such a scenario as well.

LSU losing twice isn't as difficult as OU losing twice, I think. But both would need to occur.
