Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns show how quickly the tables can turn in college football

NORMAN, Okla. -- Imagine the shock around Oklahoma -- the entire country, even -- following a move so bold and seemingly out of nowhere, yet obviously in the works for some time and impossibly kept under wraps.

That was four months ago, when we learned Oklahoma and Texas were bolting the Big 12 for the SEC.

The tables turned Sunday, when Oklahoma got the same treatment from head coach Lincoln Riley, who jilted the Sooners for USC.

It's a reminder that all's fair in love, war and college football.
