Preview: It's been a while since Oklahoma has been truly contending for the national title, last season really saw a good drop off for a while, the after the first 9 games it wasn't looking too good for Oklahoma, they had several ugly and unimpressive victories, rival Texas ran all the ball down their throats in the Red River shootout, and Baylor blew Oklahoma out. Then under freshman Trevor Knight Oklahoma suddenly hit a surge late, beating a Kansas State team on the road that was also surging late, upsetting rival Oklahoma State on the road and costing them the Big 12, and that allowed them to sneak into the Sugar bowl, where they put the most impressive win of all, an almost perfect two touchdown victory over Alabama, with that Oklahoma is now back on the national title radar, not making the playoff would be a disappointment, and the schedule isn't too hard, Tennessee is the toughest non-conference opponent, and they get Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State at home.
Predictions: Oklahoma easily beats Louisiana Tech and Tulsa in the first two games(Tulsa being on the road oddly enough), before beating Tennessee at home. Oklahoma then wins two potential landmine road games in West Virginia(because they're capable of the big upset at home) and TCU. Oklahoma gets revenge on rival Texas in the red river shootout, and beats Kansas State at home, Iowa State on the road and Baylor at home. Oklahoma finally gets hit at a place where they have had trouble, at Texas Tech, the upset loss there costs them an undefeated season. Oklahoma beats Kansas and rival Oklahoma State to cap off the season though.
Predicted Record: 11-1(8-1)
