All of the major preview publications – Phil Steele, Athlon Sports, Street & Smith, Lindy’s and Sporting News — have the Sooners winning a fourth consecutive Big 12 crown in 2018. That would be Oklahoma’s 12th since the Big 12 came into existence 22 years ago.
The Sooners also were the choice of the media who cover Big 12 football to come out on top in 2018 in this year’s annual Big 12 Football Preseason Media Poll.
It’s not so much a question any more of who will win the Big 12, but rather how the teams will line up behind the Sooners when the dust settles in early December.
