Gut reaction? It’s a great schedule for the Sooners. A little off from our prediction but a little on too. Their toughest opponent is obviously Bama, and they’ll have to travel to Norman. The Sooners also don’t have to travel to Florida, Texas A&M, or Tennessee. The Sooners also avoid having to play Georgia. Avoiding teams may not be a “champion’s attitude”, but it does serve the Sooners well to have a decent SEC Schedule.
