Oklahoma is a whole lot of fun.
Jalen Hurts is putting up historic numbers – even by recent Oklahoma passing standards – and the offense continues to be amazing as the program is pushing for a possible third straight trip to the College Football Playoff.
It’s also struggling.
There’s an outside shot that UCLA will get to six wins, but there’s a better chance that none of Oklahoma’s first five wins came against teams that will go bowling.
As it turns out, Texas is just a whole lot of whatever, and blowing away West Virginia is no big deal.
After losing to Kansas State, and coming within a broken up pass of collapsing and losing to Iowa State, OU has now played three of its last four games – all against the three sure-thing bowl teams on the slate – by fewer than 10.5 points.
Baylor has been shaky, too, needing to fight to get by that same West Virginia team that was rocked by OU, and struggled to get by mediocre teams like Rice, Texas Tech and TCU. This is looking and playing like a team on the verge of getting tagged, but it’s also finding ways to play up to the competition.
The Bears were good enough to blowout Kansas State and rock Oklahoma State on the road, and now they get the big game of the day in their house.
GameDay will be there, it’ll have the national spotlight, and it’ll be the moment to show the world that it can be Minnesota to Oklahoma’s Penn State.
The Sooners are better than BU, but getting 10.5 at home in a game like this is way too rich.
