Why OU Might Win
Besides Iowa State and Akron, this may be the easiest prediction in this breakdown, so here goes: there is no plausible scenario under which Oklahoma loses to the Kansas Jayhawks in 2015. After the Charlie Weis debacle, the Kansas program is on the ropes and looking up from the basement at the rest of the Big 12.
While an encore performance of Samaje Perine’s record-breaking 2014 afternoon is probably not going to happen, the Sooners will roll into Lawrence and steamroll the hapless Jayhawks.

Interesting Fact
In the series between these two teams, Oklahoma owns a commanding 72-27-6 record. But, from 1995 to 1997, Kansas won three consecutive games against Oklahoma, two of those in Norman. Certainly a compelling argument to quickly hush those who complain about how bad things are getting with Bob Stoops.
