re: The projected SEC over/under win totals for 2024 football season released

OU has been preparing for the sec transition for a while now . I think we are half way there . A lot of it comes down to how well the freshman qb progresses in camp. Defense will be OUs best in a long long time .

This will be a tough schedule

It’s wild the Bama fans think they will still only lose a couple of games after tGOAT left, they hired the 5th coach in line, players left, and now the 5th in line guy lost half the staff he brought with him. Who is going to QB that shite to 9 wins? Plus, you haven’t even seen the potential backlash you might have to deal with over the lies DeBoer told players to keep them from abandoning ship.

I expect it from delusional types like Patrick, though. That's not abnormal.

He'll be wrong (as usual), but continue saying absurd things. When your hatred is as all consuming as folks like his is, there isn't really another choice.

So an entirely new Oline, freshman QB and 2 new coordinators was all apart of the plan?

---

QB was backup all last year so he’s not new

OC was on staff so he’s not new

DC worked with BV and mimicked him at prior job - so not a stranger to BV systems since he ran a BV system.

It would be different if everyone came in new and had no prior workings with OU. QB will be fine. Oline will need a few games to gel. But defense will be really good and they will keep us in every game. Adding the #1 RB in country to go with Sawchuk. WR room will be even better and have speed.

Tx has nothing to talk about. OU beat the best tx team in over 10 years with a transfer qb and OU will be much better this coming season. We will have some losses it’s just a matter of how many. We only have 3 true SEC home games. 4 true road. And then our neutral site game.

In 25 that flips and we get 4 true SEC home games where tx only gets 3. Thats honestly our year to break out. But with a seasoned D, 24 might surprise some peeps.

Yeah and he had a month to prepare for Arizona and had 4 turnovers... Also has a new QB coach a probably a new system to learn.

1 year as an analyst, before that he was HC at North Texas... Sure inspires hope lol.

I cant say anything negative about Alley. Guy's resume speaks for it's self.

At least you have hope.

You do realize that was Gabriel's 3rd year in Lebby's offense... On top of that, we all know what happened after you won your superbowl

OU will be much better this coming season

Nobody believes this.

We will have some losses

Yeah, 5 at least.

They’re in for a rude awakening

Aggie dreams of that kind of schedule

WKU - W
USF - W
@ Wisconsin - L
Georgia - Fat L
@ Vanderbilt - W
South Carolina - W
@ Tennessee - L
Missouri - L
@ LSU - L
Mercer - W
@ Oklahoma - L
Auburn - W

6-6

Texas 10.5 is crazy

LSU 9.5 at the under is definitely a take. Tigers getting to 9 wins will be tough.

Delusional is some of their fans think they can get to 10 wins and make the playoffs.
