    What 3 teams do you see beating OU with that easy schedule? I could see them losing to Mizzou in the Big12 Championship and maybe a slip up game but 3 is not going to happen IMO.

    They play Texas, no? That said, I agree...no more than 2 losses...until they play some WAC, MAC, or other mid major team in a bowl game. Then they'll get that 3rd loss.

    OU does have to play Texas, TT, and Kansas...albeit it two home games and a neutral site...and then possibly the CCG against (likely) Mizzou. These are all capable teams that OU will have to show up for.

    Still do not see TT or Kansas sticking with OU and I would put UT as a chance to beat them but that would still be 1 loss in the regular season if they did.

    I think OU will be undefeated and maybe one loss before the Big12 Championship game.

    That's pretty much how I see it. In nine seasons under Stoops, Oklahoma is 52-2 during home games (to put that another way, Stoops only loses a home game once every 4.5 years). So it is going to be hard for TT, Kansas, or Nebraska to pull it off in Norman (none of them have ever beaten Stoops @ Norman).

    Overall Stoops is:

    4-0 vs Kansas
    4-1 vs Nebraska (win was @ Nebraska)
    6-3 vs TT (all wins were @ TT)

    Interesting note is that Texas Christian is one of the 2 teams that beat Stoops in Norman, and that's who Stoops plays in Norman next. But I doubt TCU pulls it off again.

    As for that Texas rivalry game in Dallas, TX, that's always a big game. Stoops is 6-3 in that game.

    As for Oklahoma's road games, that's where Oklahoma might falter, like they did @ Colorado and @ TT last year -- and like they faltered in previous seasons under Stoops -- @ Oregon, UCLA, TT (twice), aTm, Ok St, Nebraska, Colorado and Notre Dame.

    Oklahoma's road games are Baylor, KState, aTm, Ok St

    KState and Baylor have never beaten Stoops during the regular season.

    aTm is 1-8 vs. Stoops (the one win came @ aTm)

    Ok St is 2-7 vs Stoops (one win came @ Ok St and one win came in Norman... both were under Miles).

    I think Oklahoma probably finishes the regular season with one loss, and with a decent shot at going undefeated (which they have done during the regular season three times under Stoops).

    Ohio State. I should probably switch them with Texas.

    Will lose three of:
    TX Tech
    Kansas
    Neb
    Texas
    Big 12 Champ
    Bowl Game
