Proven quarterback makes OU the easier preseason choice


wrong, easy schedule and lack of a championship game makes it easier for them to be undefeated. not the best team in the country.

Basing a preseason ranking on the ease of schedule might be smart if you own a magazine or something and your predictions of the future matter but realistically, schedule should not diminish or help a team in the preseason rankings or it incentivizes/disincentiizes scheduling tougher opponents. ESPN loves to be hypocrites concerning this however.
