For much of the season, I have been writing about the historic nature of this Oklahoma offense, and now someone a little more important is referencing it. Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens, chairman of the College Football Playoff committee, twice Tuesday night referred to the Sooner offense as “historic” in explaining OU’s No. 5 ranking, one crucial spot ahead of Ohio State.
And now the Big 12 regular season has concluded, and we’ve got the full data. The way I like to rank offenses – how frequently do they score, given the opportunity – shows that the Sooners are indeed extraordinary.
