All 3 teams are 8-5.

Oklahoma

Oregon State

Air Force

Which deserve to end the season ranked?

I think OU has a legitimate argument, while the other two don't.

Oklahoma

Air Force

Oregon St

My reasoning: Oklahoma played BYU the toughest. Air Force in addition to playing us just a bit tougher than Oregon St (17-point loss vs a 24-point loss), I think they would beat Oregon St. Air Force does very well against teams that are unfamiliar with their option attack. They can play ball control to keep the Beavers off the field and don't turn the ball over - something we saw just about every team do against the Falcons (including BYU who had 3).

I agree.

Air Force beat Houston because Houston has small O and D lines, doesn't run the ball well, and doesn't defend the run well. All exact opposites of Oregon State.

Beavers > Falcons, in my opinion.
