It seems everyone is hopping onto the Oklahoma Sooners bandwagon for the 2021 season. ESPN ranked them as the No. 1 team in their post-spring power rankings. The consensus rankings have them as the No. 2 team in the country. However, an unlikely source is predicting a perfect run through the schedule.
USA TODAY Sports’ Longhorns Wire predicted every Big 12 team’s record and gave OU a flawless season.
Once again, Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners are the favorites to bring back the Big 12 crown. This season, however, there will be more than just conference championship hopes for the Sooners.
