HHcougar 13 OU wins the Big XII in their last season. Only to lose 5 conference games in the SEC year one.

oghawks18 14 Not a huge Oklahoma believer but the schedule and level of recruiting means they should get 9 or 10 wins
Corgi_Koala 15 Pretty low on Venables, but the schedule is favorable and the team is talented. They should win 9-10 on talent alone. Texas is the only clearly better team in the BXII so giving them some benefit of the doubt until we see Venables either sink or swim.

NyquillusDillwad20 20 A very tough team to predict. They have top-level talent, but last season leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I think Venables will have a bit more success in his second season, but not enough to compete for the Big 12 or CFP spot.

bretticus33 21 It’s weird to have Oklahoma down here but it’s warranted. Brent Venables’ first season was nowhere near a success. The offense was inconsistent, partially thanks to injuries to QB, but more surprisingly the defense was awful. Dillon Gabriel is coming into 2023 healthy and 7 starters return for the Sooner defense. Oklahoma better hope another year learning Venables’ defense and Jeff Lebby’s offense will yield results or else Oklahoma might be looking for a new HC as they exit the Big 12 and enter the SEC.

JetoGrov 10 I only have 2 Big XII teams ranked, mostly because I feel that this conference is incredible at beating up on each other and by year's end only a few will stick out from the rest, so apologies for Kansas State, TX TECH, and TCU. I'm expecting a bounce-back year from OU...one where they lose to Texas twice...ouch.

ScaratheBear 25 The first year under Brett Venables was... not the best. First losing season since 1998, a 49-0 blank against Texas, and a loss to FSU in the Cheesiest Bowl. But looking deeper, maybe it's not all that bad. The Sooners lost 5 one score games. Turn over 2 or 3 of those, and the talking points around Oklahoma are totally different. Dillon Gabriel is back, Venables should have the defense better in year 2. Don't sleep on the Sooners to make a run in their last year of Big 12dom.
