D1amondDude 4 Do I believe Oklahoma is the fourth best team in the country?  No.  Do I believe anyone in the Big 12 has a realistic chance of toppling them?  Also no.  Lincoln Riley is the greatest offensive mind in CFB, and with the Sooners doing their best to get up to double digit rankings on Defense, I expect them to represent their conference in their annual playoff loss.

DkS_FIJI 4 Strongest team in the conference in terms of talent and coaching. Riley has consistently performed well against the conference and there is no indicator they're going to drop off this year. Unproven QB sure, but Riley is a QB guru and I won't hold that against them too much.

NyquillusDillwad20 4 I usually doubt OU due to their weak defenses in the past years, but they're going to have a stud QB and the offense will be top two or three in the country again.

steelcitygator 7 This is about where they are talent-wise, top 10ish.  That said I know I would've ended up putting them in the top 4 at the end of the year more because of the actions of others than anything they would do.  Baylor could have saved us from this but I guess there's a reason we don't trust Baylor.

Maladroit44 8 -4 | 77.5 | Oklahoma may start the season eighth, but with a committee likely averse to putting three SEC teams in the playoff, they've still got the inside line to the CFP. Getting the defence (particularly the seven-interception secondary) to the offence's level will be instrumental in going further.

crownebeach 11 I don't think Oklahoma is very far behind the other CFP regulars, but this isn't going to be the year to prove it. Alex Grinch didn't do a great job with DBs at Washington State; where Oklahoma showed improvement, it was mostly on the front. They will compete for the Big 12, and as likely as not win it, but they'll control the line of scrimmage only to struggle downfield on both sides of the ball. That's not title-winning material, I think.
