Tom Herman had a hilarious response when asked if Oklahoma should be in the Playoff

Oklahoma and Texas battled it out on Saturday afternoon for the Big 12 title, with Oklahoma eventually pulling away for a 39-27 victory.

That may end up sealing Oklahoma’s spot in the College Football Playoff, as No. 4 Georgia lost to No. 1 Alabama on Saturday afternoon.

After the game, though, Texas coach Tom Herman didn’t exactly go to bat for his team’s biggest rival, artfully avoiding a question about whether or not the Sooners should be in:

Texas coach Tom Herman declines to say #Sooners should be in playoff. “I unfortunately don’t watch much college football.”

Obviously, Herman can’t exactly root for the Sooners, and it’s true — he probably watches a very limited set of teams.

Still, this was a great way to avoid the question, and now it just adds even more fuel to the Red River Rivalry.
