No. 16: Oklahoma

COACH: Bob Stoops

2014 RECORD: 8-5

PROJECTED 2015 RECORD: 10-3

CIRCLE THE DATE: Nov. 14 at Baylor

WHY NO. 16: Because the Sooners don’t like eight-win seasons and will do whatever they can to bounce back from them. Stoops made some changes on his staff, turning the offense over to former East Carolina coach Lincoln Riley. The new guy has a talented running back ready to join the list of school greats in Samaje Perine, who ran for 1,713 yards and 21 touchdowns as a freshman.
