It didn’t have anything to do with us having one qb who got injured and us having 50 percent roster turnover would it ?
All teams have problems. No one says Jimbo was working with his third string QB to justify why he went 5-7. You are what your records says you are. You really think you were in a worse position than Texas Tech? Or West Virginia? or Baylor?
OU was a 6-7 team and good coaches don't go 6-7 with OU's talent advantage over a dog shite conference. OU played arguably one game all season where they weren't the more talented team.
Now. Imagine in the SEC when you're playing a schedule where you don't have the talent advantage. That's OU's new reality. And it won't go well for them.
That just isn't true. Texas, TCU senior laiden talent, Baylor all had better defensive talent than OU. The façade of the Riley era was ripped off last year, with no super human QB play we were a very average program.
We started the slide to average in Stoops' last 2 years. Riley masked it with unreal play calling and QB play. once the defenses caught up, he bolted. All that said, 6-7 was a shyte show and inexcusable. 3 of those losses were just due to being a loser team. Those players are mostly all gone. Coaches have had a year of come uppins, I expect a much different year this year.
To answer the original troll, 99% of fans are very ready to join the big leagues. 99% of fans know that the 10-2 each year is in the past, but we also know that for as many 9-3's we have, we also will have legit shots at NC's. Something we havent been capable of since 2008.

The entire point of playign games is to win the most amount of them that you can. I mean no one would argue that, rihgt? So logically, it amkes no sense to make things harder on yourself and MORE difficult to win as many games as you can.
I have to disagree. It reminds me of the first SEC championship game when Coach Stallings, and many others, said the SEC will never win another natty if we have to play an extra game each year and we all know how that turned out. The SEC meatgrinder just makes everyone better as iron sharpens iron. If your goal is just to get in (I'm speaking generally, not to Georgia or anyone else in particular), then I guess a weak schedule gets you there but if you want to win it a tough schedule is better. Backing in by virtue of not playing anyone all year won't likely get you very far. Our schedule in 2024 is brutal but if we're good enough to win it all we should be good enough to play them all. At least, that's what I'm telling myself, lol.

They are all going to be brutal starting in 2024. I thought they did a pretty good job of trying to even up the schedules. Things can change a lot by then as well.
