Due_Connection179 14 Last Week #15 at Cincinnati : Won 20 - 6. This team is very weird. They have two games vs G5 teams and two games vs P5 teams. In those G5 games, they have outscored them by an incredible 139 - 17. In those P5 games, they have outscored them by 40 - 19. Looking at this it seems that their offense is a little overrated than what media is making them out to be, but only time will actually tell. Next Week vs Iowa State - 20 pt favorites - Prediction : win and cover the spread

bretticus33 17 OU defensively has improved so much under Venebles that it’s hard to watch that defense and wonder how they were a major liability last season. Offensively though there’s still some questions. Dillon Gabriel is inconsistent and the pressure is on Lebby to get that unit operating at a high level, especially in the Briles crap.

nw____ 22 I do not think this team is the 22nd best team in the country. I am waiting for them to prove it. I think the defense is light years better than they have been over the last 5 (and probably more) seasons. However, I'm not sure if the defense is great vs. really good (and I certainly don't think they're elite). Additionally, the offensive line has not been good, the running game is basically invisible, and Jeff Lebby insists on ditching successful plays in favor of unsuccessful ones-- he won't find a team's weakness and make them stop it (something I have always thought Mike Gundy is good at). If the offense can figure things out, I think they are probably about the 20th best team in the country. If that happens and the defense keeps taking steps forward, I think they may even be the 15-16th best team. Anything else, especially given what they've shown so far on offense when they've played defenses with a pulse, is premature in my mind. But I ranked them because, as a homer, I'm probably being too hard on them and am, once again, willing to let the rankings work themselves out.

SpursUpSoundsGudToMe 6 Probably much higher than most, but my algorithm really really liked that first game, 73-0 is a preposterous thing to do to an FBS team, even a bad one (and hell, Ark St won a conference game on Saturday). I think their defense is fully legit, even if the O has been more up and down.

throwaway_6786 16 Sooners get a big jump this week because of some chaos around them and a 20-6 win @Cincinnati that wasn't as close as the score looked. The Oklahoma defense looked amazing and the offense did what they had to in order to win. The RRS is right on the horizon, and I can't wait to see it.
