Just for that I'm going to email coach Petersen and ask him to lay it on Oregon this year.

The irony of you using the chokelahoma moniker is fucking palpable.

Re-ranking college football's preseason top 25 after spring practice

He has used the same Lee Corso quote/picture in three threads minutes apart. Lee Corso, the guy who pisses off every single fanbase when he picks their team to win a big game. LEE FREAKING CORSO!

Alabama upends Clemson in post-spring Top 25

5. Oklahoma

Previous rank: 5

The Sooners hoped to have a smooth transition from Baker Mayfield, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 pick by the Cleveland Browns in the NFL draft, to Texas A&M transfer Kyler Murray, who played behind him last season.

But Murray has pulled double duty playing center field on OU's baseball team this spring, and sophomore Austin Kendall narrowed the gap in the quarterback competition. Murray is also considered a potential first-round pick in June's amateur baseball draft, which might throw another wrench into the race.

After surrendering 30 points or more in six games last season, OU coach Lincoln Riley knows the Sooners will have to be much better defensively. He's banking on defensive linemen such as Amani Bledsoe and Kenneth Mannmaturing this season. Early enrollee Brendan Radley-Hiles was a standout this spring and might start in a much-maligned secondary.

6. Washington

Previous rank: 6

With quarterback Jake Browning, tailback Myles Gaskin and a vastly deeper defense coming back, the Huskies might be poised for another run at a CFP spot.

They broke in new playcallers on both sides of the ball this spring; former receivers coach Bush Hamdan is back as offensive coordinator after spending last season with the Atlanta Falcons, and defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake was promoted to defensive coordinator.

The Huskies spent the spring searching for Dante Pettis' replacement at receiver and someone to help slot receiver Chico McClatcher, who missed drills while recovering from a broken ankle that caused him to miss the final nine games of the 2017 season. Star left tackle Trey Adams (knee) and receiver Quinten Pounds (knee) also missed spring practice. A trio of players -- Aaron Fuller, Ty Jones and Andre Baccellia -- emerged as potential pass-catching threats.
