Oklahoma comes out charged up to once again rule over the Big 12 and contend for a BCS Championship. Too bad for OU, they have been embarrased in their last two BCS games, first in an epic upset against the Boise State Broncos and then last year West Virginia drilled them. Bob Stoops' media darling status has taken a hit but most will concede Oklahoma is the top of the class in a deep Big 12 conference. Part of me wants to put Texas in the lone top five slot reserved for a Big 12 team but Oklahoma is the safer bet. Plus they return their star quarterback (Sam Bradford) and the majority of their defense that up until WVU looked to be among tops in the nation.

What I'm thinking:

The Sooners should be undefeated up until back-to-back home games against Texas and Kansas. Followed by that are games that are all theoretically losable, with the toughest of the games (Texas Tech) once again at home. Then of course comes the conference title game and you have to conclude that OU better be deep to sustain a high level of play.

Demarco Murray will be the featured running back and there are a few young guys coming in with lots of hype. This should help. What would also help is a rededication to stopping the run on defense.
