Which team would you least want to meet on a neutral field?
Katz: The case can be made that Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State are the most dangerous teams in the country, but given the way that Oklahoma has played since its loss to Texas, the Sooners are the team I would least want to meet on a neutral field. The Sooners are complete -- they rank eighth in offensive efficiency and sixth in defensive efficiency. Clemson is the only other team in the top 10 on both sides of the ball. Oklahoma has an efficient quarterback and a strong running game, so unlike Alabama, which relies heavily on its run game, Oklahoma can beat teams in a variety of ways. Alabama undoubtedly has a stronger defense, but the Sooners' defense is underrated and can get after opposing quarterbacks (36 sacks). Clemson and Alabama are definitely strong choices for this question, but given that Oklahoma has won its past five games by an average margin of more than 38 points, the Sooners are a team to avoid.
