Oklahoma may be just 1-3 in Big 12 play so far this season, but that doesn’t mean that Gary Patterson and the rest of the conference don’t see them as a contender.
Sure, programs like Iowa State and Kansas State, who sit 3-0 in conference play and have already knocked off the Sooners in comeback fashion, and Oklahoma State, who many say has the best talent in the league, look like the favorites to take home the title in December. But to be the champ, you have to beat the champ — and in this case, you might have to do it twice.
