As spring ball winds down, we turn our attention to the Oklahoma Sooners 2023 spring game before football goes on hiatus until summer workouts and fall camp.
The Sooners are hoping to erase the memory of their 6-7 2022 season with a bounce-back year in their final season in the Big 12. To return to title contention after being one of the worst teams in the conference will take big improvements on the defensive side of the ball and more efficiency in clutch situations on offense.
In the latest Football Power Index update over at ESPN, the projections believe the Sooners will have that bounce-back season and be in Big 12 title contention.
The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 20,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily. FPI data from seasons prior to 2019 may not be complete. – ESPN.
