AP PRESEASON TOP 25: Sooners Land at No. 10—Too High, Too Low or Just Right? | JP & Trav Show

from The Oklahoma Drill: An Oklahoma Sooners Podcast · host OUInsider.com

Oklahoma is officially back inside the AP Preseason Top 10—but does No. 10 accurately reflect how good the Sooners can be? We break down OU’s placement, the teams ranked above and around the Sooners and the biggest surprises throughout the preseason poll. Which programs belong in the national-championship tier? Who is being overrated? Which overlooked teams could climb quickly? We also examine what Oklahoma’s preseason expectations and difficult SEC schedule could mean for its margin for error in the College Football Playoff race. Is No. 10 too high, too low or just right for Brent Venables and the Sooners?
