**UPDATED 8/7/15 FINAL LIST (added Perine for OU... Boykin for TCU)**
**UPDATED 8/6/15 (added Striker for OU... Drango and Oakman for Baylor)**


They just wrapped up #41-50 (already done #51-100)...

Samaje Perine - #18
Eric Striker - #35
Sterling Shepard - #49
Zach Sanchez - #95

Nobody else yet. I'm curious to see where they have Perine & Striker (IF Striker even makes the list)... can't imagine anyone else making the list.

Other notables from opponents this year:

Baylor:
Shawn Oakman (DE) - #21
Spencer Drango (OT) - #32
KD Cannon (WR) - #43
Corey Coleman (WR) - #55
Seth Russell (QB) - #66 ---- How the flip does a guy who hasn't gotten meaningful playing time make this list?
Andrew Billings (DT) - #98
Shock Linwood (RB) - #98

Tennessee:
Derek Barnett (DE) - #56
Jalen Hurd (RB) - #68
Curt Maggitt (LB) - #88
Cameron Sutton (DB) - #98

TCU:
Trevone Boykin (QB) - #5 - was worst QB in the Big 12 in 2013, and is now the 5th best player in the country??
Josh Doctson (WR) - #63

Oklahoma State:
Emmanuel Ogbah (DE) - #66

Initial thoughts are that it's kinda surprising we've only got 4 of our opponents with anyone in the top 100. I figured a couple more TCU guys would've crept in there if nothing else. Baylor still has 2 or 3 more guys to show up (correct - Drango and Oakman), and I'd imagine TCU will have 3-4 more guys (I was wrong here - really surprised TCU only ended up with 2 guys TOTAL). I'm trying to think of some other opponents that will have any additional players in there, but I'm drawing a blank.

***Prediction CORRECT*** nailed it ;)
Perine will probably be in the top 10-20, and IF Striker makes it, it would have to be in the next round I imagine (31-40). If not, then I doubt he'll make the cut. I'd certainly have him in the top 70-80 just based on his pass rushing skills, but not any higher. Pretty sad if we only end up with one guy from the defense in the top 100, though we've earned nothing more than that. Insane that Baylor will most likely end up with 2-3 defenders in the top 100 (Oakman and maybe someone else I'm not thinking of).

I'll update this thread as they release the each round of rankings.
