Oklahoma will be Arkansas

Browsing through this thread and reading arguments about how Oklahoma is going to be more successful than Arkansas in the SEC, I see the argument for is that Oklahoma has these top recruiting classes.

Well how did those top recruiting classes far against Kansas, K-State, Iowa State, Baylor, West Virginia, and Texas Tech? Oklahoma didn't even win the Big12 this past year. Good luck in the SEC, but the Sooners hope here is that SEC money brings them a chance to hire a big time coach that can coach through the SEC schedule. Because if Oklahoma wasn't dominating the Big12 with those top recruiting classes, then coaching must be the problem.

I'm so grateful that you've never brought up Oregon's recruiting classes.

I did. And he said how Oregon has carried the PAC the past 15 years, even though they have less conference titles than Oklahoma in that time frame

Yeah, Oklahoma didn't have much in the way of competition, did they?
 
everything is riding on Arnold's shoulders.. their fanbase have convinced themselves he is the future baker/kyler at the QB position..

They are sorta over looking how this might be a small rebuild.. while they thump their chests about winning 10 games last season and beating UT in Dallas.. And how year 3 should be a jump or at least the same as..

they are gonna be starting an entire new OL for a first time starting QB.. and they are putting all the pressure on their incoming RB.

Their best WR is coming off a leg injury.. Arnold best trait to me.. is his legs which basically puts him at risk for getting hurt on any given scramble/run he does. He's now working with another OC they promoted from within.. usually these things have a learning curve early in the season to work out the kinks..

It's a big year for them

PAC squashed them last year.

Since 2010 the PAC is 23-34 against the B12.

If you just take bowl games which generally should be more evenly matched and not games where the top of the PAC is playing Texas Tech or the top of the B12 is playing Colorado then the PAC is 9-19.

PAC had a great year last year but have been terribly inadequate up to that point for a good amount of years.

Facts: OU is in the middle of a coaching change. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. We all know - or you should - that coaching changes disrupt the success of top programs. If Venables doesn't work, it will be a top destination for another coach; who knows, maybe Lanning? But OU is not going to become Arky, and I have mad respect for both programs having grown up at a time when both were really good.

As for point out this past year, let's take a look at a longer view:

11 conference championships. That's good. They will be fine in the SEC, even though they won't dominate if like they did the B12.

The cream of the BigXII is leaving. What's left is rancid.

While it's dumb for OD to start smack threads, it is true that OU will not be winning any conference titles in the SEC.

They probably won't fall all the way to Nebraska status, but like a Michigan State is more likely.
