I learn after the last few years to not get excited in sooner football. The talent is in the running backs and now I hope receivers but the coaching staff in last few yrs has been a big disappointment.I just saw horrible qb play all year long.. Hate say this and hope am wrong but I see okla at 8-4 season.
OU has the best chance as any outside of tOSU for the playoffs in 2016...

Would it be possible to remove this post from the top of our board? After 2014, it's obvious that our Sooners have a rebuilding job just to get back to winning the Big XII. To see this post everytime you enter this site just adds to the aggravation.
Last April and May I predicted that this team will surprise a bunch of gurus and posters with a much better season than predicted. Keep in mind I order my Koo-Aid by the gross. We'll see.
Just FYI:
- Bovada was at 16/1 for a natty...it's now 28/1
- Akron game started -38, it's down to -30

Interesting...
I'm staying with my prediction. 9-0, until we meet Baylor in Waco. 10-2 going into the bowl.
Conspiracy theory...this is worth a listen.

I am a freakin' rock star!
Greatest prediction in the history of predictions, minus the Texas game.
And I hope I'm equally as wrong about Baylor and TCU. And if pressed for a prediction right now, I think we win out. Especially if we beat Baylor.

Ahem. Just going to leave this here. Whomever started this thread, and whomever agreed with him, are just geniuses.
Oh, there are a lot of people who will need to eat a bunch of crow. But I'll bet they would happily eat it considering what it's for.
I could quote a lot more people who basically called several of us foolish, but I think I've made my point.
I saw this thread months ago. Thought it was so ridiculous I never clicked to read it until now. Yes, hats off the OP for his remarkable vision. And hats off to the board moderators also. They "foolishly" pinned this thread months ago.
This was a good post right here. Lol I think some of us knew how talented this team is, the only delusional fans are ones that think they know it all.
In all fairness fans are funny, you're only as good as the last game you played. This to me is the stupidest thing I've ever see read. But leaving this thread pinned was the best thing that I've ever done on this board. But I agree with Micco many negative Sooner fan will gladly ask for their serving of crow.
Mike kind of like your "Baylor will be an easy win" stupid comment. We as fans are ust guessing and throwing out predictions are we not? It's all in fun. By the way without Mayfield I think we would have lost 4. Baylor, tcu, Tennessee and of course we had the loss to Texas. As OU fans we don't need to take this guy for granted. He is the best qb in cfb
Well, once again you would be wrong, I do believe. OU did in fact roll out of Baylor with an easy win.
Yep, most fans are too emotional, either way.
Some are just homers all the way, and some are just negative nellies all the way. Some people really thought KSU, TTech, WVU, or ISU were toss-ups? Really? Because we had one bad game at the end of one bad season? We weren't capable of getting better, or the other teams getting worse? Really?
I still say we were fortunate to be better than 10-2, but I'm glad it's worked out this way for sure. Not having to face a healthy Seth Russell or Trevone Boykin had to help. I'm not sure if the OSU QB was healthy that it would have made much of a difference in the outcome. As the season played out, I still think we could have beaten those teams, but it was nice that they turned out like they did. Can't complain one bit.
I remember telling everyone at the end of last season, I just can't find where I said it 
OU will win every game if they play well. They could lose 4 or 5 if coaching is a problem or if the team doesn't play well.
I love OU's position right now where we just control our destiny. The first WAY TOO EARLY 2016 rankings had OU at #2. Of course it's early and preseason rankings don't mean much, but we all know if you give OU a good QB, then we're likely in the mix for the national title.
It's a simplle formula next year. We play the toughest OOC in the nation.
* If we're undefeated -Guaranteed playoffs
* If we lose one game (prior to the halfway point in the season) - 90% playoffs
* If we lose just one game after the halfway point in the season but still win our conference - 80% chance of playoffs.
* If we lose two games -- Who cares, because we don't deserve to play for the title.

Before we give Nostradumbass all the credit of foresight, let's point out that Ohio State didn't make the playoffs.
And I was the one who asked to have this pinned because prior to this thread the OP had been on a near 2 month bender of Sooner criticism.
