Oklahoma State Football: 2011 National Champions

by CincyJoe on Jan 10, 2026 12:35 PM CST in Oklahoma State Cowboys Football

CM, otherwise known as the Colley-Matrix has crowned Oklahoma State as the 2011 National Football Champion. It is important to note that CM has selected the "official" champ in every other season so I see no reason why this year is any different.

With the #2 rated SOS, 5 top 25 wins and 9 top 50 wins - Oklahoma State was the clear winner. Coming in second was LSU, followed by Alabama, Oklahoma and Arkansas. You can view the full CM ranking here

We are in the process of making shirts. I can only hope Holder is printing banners and making rings. Honestly, it's picked the winner every year. What's different about this year?

COLLEY! COLLEY! COLLEY! COLLEY! COLLEY!

You guys are retarded!

Okie State would get killed by at least 3 SEC teams. You should get out of your conference ASAP! You lost to Iowa State! National Champions!?! You are delusional.

I made an effort to not watch the game, and apparently so did other people,

It was the lowest rating of a BCS championship game ever. The highest rated BCS game this year? The Fiesta Bowl.

You don’t trust a website that specializes in producing TV ratings? Why?

Why do ratings matter? The goal isn’t to get the most viewers but instead it is to match up the two best teams.

by TheN8tureBoy on Jan 10, 2026 9:03 PM CST up reply actions

Sentence Structure

There’s no information on The 2011 Fiesta Bowl’s Rating on this page. The Stanford/Oklahoma State game.

There’s the 2010 National Championship game that yes, had more viewers.

You’re message of “The highest rated BCS game this year? The Fiesta Bowl.” does not imply that you mean last year’s Fiesta Bowl. You imply the highest rated BCS game of this year, which I listed out.

So please, finish your sentences to help us understand your complete point.

1. They cite Teen Mom because they cover TV ratings. Mainly for broadcast channels (Fox, CBS, ABC, etc.) but also for Cable. Teen Mom is one of the most popular cable shows based on ratings. It’d be like running a site devoted to all of college football but then getting attacked because you cover the Pac 12 on it….

2. Your own linked source said the BCS game had 24 million views as well…

TV By the Numbers is actually a legit based website for TV ratings (and the biggest site actually solely dedicated to TV ratings and what not).

About half the site is a mix of press releases from TV stations about their show ratings, premieres, renewals, cancellations, etc.

The other half is content from the site pertaining to ratings, chances for renewals, cancellations, etc.

Their first set of numbers posted are the actual Neilsen preliminaries and the second set (the finals) are the updated numbers.

Summary: TBTN is a legit based site for TV ratings using the actual Neilsen ratings for demos/viewers (this is what every news site, tv station uses and lists). The site is accurate and not bullshit whatsoever and any actual research into it would help you figure this out.

Just letting you know, since you didn’t know the website.

1. First option when you search TV Ratings on Google is the site, by the way.

2. Zap2It is actually listed as the 311th most popular site domestically sitting right behind CBS.com

I'm gonna put this right here...

We are mostly adults here, so let’s keep things fun and semi-classy.

This site is meant to be entertaining, informative, and a fun place to hang out. Be accepting of the point of view of others (both fellow Cowboys and fans of other schools).

…

Please don’t ever say anything to the effect of, “This is an Oklahoma State site, why don’t you go back to your [school name] site.” A diverse and open community is way more fun than all of us sitting around agreeing with each others Big XII champs predictions.

…

If you feel like someone crosses the line, let me know.

This is awesome!

Congratulations on an outstanding season, you had a very talented team this year, and best of luck in the future.

PS. Write letters (or e-mails, or tweety-birds or faceypage or whatever) to your conference commissioner and tell them to support a plus-one plan similar to the one the SEC proposed five years ago! Had we had that in place, LSU would have played Stanford, Alabama would have played Oklahoma State, and the winners of those games would have played for the National Championship! How awesome would that have been?

People, please refrain from poking the Crimson Tide zoo animals.

If they can’t tell the difference between the number 14 and the number 9 and they can’t tell the difference between a sarcastic article and a serious one, then it’s quite obvious they are caged in the deep south for a reason.

Just shake your head, smile at their grunts with pity, and move along.

I think you should count this one. After all, someone voted you number one. Just like the 14 we count. Some are more legit then others. Enjoy it and embrace it. After a few years, no one is going to know the difference anyway.
