Texas and Oklahoma are preparing for their future move to the SEC but are spending at least one more season in the new-look Big 12. The Conference announced its 2023 schedule recently, including the four programs joining the league.
College football analyst Greg McElroy believes Oklahoma got the short end of the stick from the Big 12. He spoke on the difficulty of the Sooners’ schedule on the Always College Football show.
“I happen to think when you look at it, though, I mean, it’s definitely possible that they could have a bit of an improvement, but you look at the schedule man, I thought they got dealt the more difficult hand when comparing them to the Longhorns, partly because all four of their road opponents if you count the neutral site game against Texas, they all competed in bowl games last year.”
The Sooners look to get back into Big 12 title contention in 2023 but have a few challenging road games on their slate. Oklahoma faces away games against Cincinnati, Oklahoma State, BYU and Kansas next season.
On the flip side, Texas plays most of its away games in close proximity. The Longhorns only leave the state of Texas twice in 2023.
