Before the season started, I had begun cranking out some numbers based on productivity, returning starters, and the like. The team that repeatedly kept popping up as CFP title game participant, if not outright winner, was Oklahoma. And I still like the Sooners to reach the finals. It’s been a quiet offseason (football-wise) for the Dirt Burglars. The offense will be lethal. And you have to love what Alex Grinch did with the defense down the stretch. If 2020 OU had their second half solidity, I daresay Alabama — Oklahoma would have been last year’s finals.
The other team that often came up was the Georgia Bulldogs.
