My crystal ball says Oklahoma runs off and hides from Florida, the most overrated team in the Ntion, except for Alabama, of course. Tebow is a big wuss.

It's kind of sad that you Sooners don't realize that the only reason Big 12 scores so many points is because you lack any measurable level of defensive skills. Of course you score 60 points a game and your opponents 40something. Oklahoma defense ranks around 60th in the nation! Please! But even when Florida stomps you, you won't even see the evidence of your downfall. Play real teams, Sooners, and maybe you'll gain some high-level skills!
