DALLAS -- All offseason long, Oklahoma looked like the safest bet in the Big 12, the most complete team with the fewest flaws. Two brutally hard nonconference games proved the Sooners were still very much a work in progress.
Today, they seem to be right back where they started -- as the Big 12 team nobody wants to play right now. No disrespect to undefeated Baylor or West Virginia, but the Sooners are finally starting to play like the team to beat in this wide-open conference.
It’s easy to be won over by Oklahoma’s flashy play on offense during the 52-46 win at TCU and 45-40 win over Texas.
