Unless someone else has done it - I'll be the first to eat my crow.
I picked Baylor to win 38-34. Here's my original post in the prediction thread (just to help season my crow)...

38-34, Baylor.
I don't see our run game getting going against Baylor's more than stout D-line. Oakman will probably have a couple sacks, and Billings is a beast.
I do think we'll get a couple sacks, but their running game is good enough and their receivers are just absurdly good.
We lose, but it's much more of a validation to Baylor being a ridiculously good team than it is to us being a bad one. Baylor's receivers are fricking incredible. Just too many weapons.
Our O-line is too young and inconsistent to make me believe they'll keep Mayfield upright long enough for him to compensate for our lack of a running game this week. If they were better, I absolutely believe we would win.

I have never been so glad to eat crow in my life. It's delicious. I was wrong on just about all counts. We ran the ball with authority, and our OL held up MUCH better in pass protection than I thought they would.
BOOMER SOONER!!!!
Also - I predicted us to go 10-2 at the beginning of the year with losses to Tennessee and Baylor... I'm glad I was wrong. Boy am I glad I was wrong!!
