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.

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.
