I am excited for the Billy Napier era. Either he will enjoy some success, or it will put the final dagger in the expectations of the Spurrier and Meyer eras.

Either way, I'll be watching.

Doesn't look like there's a predictions thread, probably don't get enough traffic to justify a separate one nowadays so here's my preseason predictions for the Oklahoma Sooners

HC Lincoln Riley, QB Caleb Williams, and a bunch of recruits left to be replaced by Clemson DC Brent Venables as HC , UCF QB transfer Dillon Gabriel, and a bunch of other tranfers. Jeff Lebby is hired away from Ole Miss as OC, and is reunited with Gabriel who he coached at UCF. Team is very much in flux but still has talent on the roster, meaning expectations are high-ish with the caveat of "no one really knows how this season will go." I suspect the Nebraska game will be tougher than many think, and how that game swings could have downstream effects on the rest of the season.

Week 1: vs. UTEP--W

Week 2: vs. Kent State--W

Week 3: @ Nebraska--Toss-up
  • OU is favored by 4.5. Nebraska played to their level of competition throughout last season (even if they couldn't ever finish the jobs), and being in Lincoln the crowd is gonna be jazzed the gently caress up. Sooners will have had two games to help gel. If OU wins this I think most games I have marked as toss-ups below are Ws, if OU loses those swing the other way. And 11:00 AM kickoff!!:bahgawd:
Week 4: vs. Kansas State--W
  • I think Klieman is a decent enough coach and will consistently get KState to 7-8 wins each season but OU should handle them this year, especially since it's in Norman.
Week 5: @ TCU--W
  • TCU had been trending down for a few years before Patterson got ran out last season, Sonny may get them moving in the right direction but probably not this quickly.
Week 6: Texas--Toss-up
  • The shootout is always insane and I loving love it for that.
Week 7: vs. Kansas--W
  • I genuinely hope Leipold gets the Jayhawks to at least not be embarrassing even if not a team that can consistently win games, but this one's a lock.
Week 8: BYE

Week 9: @ Iowa State--W
  • Cambell has gotten ISU to play OU really loving tough the last few years, but ISU loses too much talent. Bet it's a good game but OU pulls it out.
Week 10: vs. Baylor--Toss-up
  • It pains me greatly to say that Baylor is likely to stick around as a solid football program for the next few years at the least. Being in Norman is a plus, but the Bears have played OU well lately.
Week 11: @ West Virginia--W/Toss-up?
  • WVU seems to have unfortunately fallen off quite a bit, but that + on the road + Bedlam next week is a perfect recipe for a trap game. I do think OU wins this one but wouldn't be surprised at all to see them poo poo the bed.
Week 12: vs. Oklahoma State--Toss-up
  • If this is in Stillwater I pencil it in as an L. I've got a bad feeling ol' Gundy may have shaken off the little brother complex that has always made him crawl into a hole in Bedlam. The 'Pokes lose a lot on defense but Spencer Sanders is back at the helm yet again--not that he's some QB wonder but he'll be seasoned against OU and has played in Norman.
Week 13: @ Texas Tech--W/Toss-up?
  • This seems like a big let-down game the week after Bedlam. If OU is in contention for the Big 12 title game and/or won Bedlam the week before I think it's a pretty solid W, if either of those aren't the case I can see a trip out to Lubbock to cap an uninspired season being rough.

OU's reasonable ceiling: 11-1
OU's reasonable floor: 7-5

I'm gonna say OU finishes 9-3 this year; most likely losses are to Baylor and OSU, and then take your pick of Nebraska, Texas, or one of the ? games.

nah, I think poo poo would really have to go off the rails for him to be fired during the season. If they start 0-5 or 1-4, there's a chance. I think six wins will save his job so they don't have to fire a ton of coaches they hired less than a year ago. I don't think they'll win six though, I think they'll win five. I think Frost has about a 50/50 chance of sticking around for one (final) year.

It's fascinating. Like, yeah you're not going to go to Nebraska and turn them into Ohio State overnight, but furthering the path towards kinda looking up to Northwestern as a football program is not something I expected.

I know the guys on the SZD podcast have mentioned before that he brought in a lot of Florida recruits in his first year at Nebraska (trading on his connections he made at UCF, which is fine), and that he's experienced pretty heavy attrition in that group, in the form of transfers and guys getting kicked off.

Looks like 247 also did a brief write-up on it here:

https://247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-football-recruiting-Scott-Frost-Florida-signees-169706326/

I doubt this is the only problem, but his biggest challenge is raising the talent level, and it appears that Plan A has failed on that front.

We first start with the hypothesis that Nebraska's time as a national power is long gone and their ceiling is 9 wins or so, which even Mike Riley did.

Given that, Frost has to 1) be crafty in accumulating talent; and/or 2) be a lot smarter than the other guys.

Well, their recruiting classes imploded and Frost's charges have been the worst in-game coaching staff in the country. Their special teams are bad to the point of being suspicious.

Article ($$$) on Jake Fromm on what's probably his post-football life

Fromm backing into the Giants starting job, only to use the same flatulent, mistake-mitigating "offense" Waffle House playbook that James Coley made him run was so sad. I can't imagine having a lifetime of quarterbacking and the end result is "I (except for that one game) didn't turn the ball over much." Here's hoping he catches on in the third XFL attempt and is finally – finally! – given a chance to sling it.
