Not every media outlet is sold on the greatness of Oklahoma football for the 2021 season.

What’s that popular saying? “You can’t please all the people all of the time.” Apparently the high expectations others have for Oklahoma football aren’t shared by the editors and college football staff at Sports Illustrated.

In case you’re not a Sports Illustrated subscriber, the popular, now monthly sport publication has come out with its 2021 football preview issue, this year combining both college football and the NFL.
