Oklahoma, rest of Big 12 don’t deserve a playoff spot until they find some defense

The good people of Oklahoma won’t like this but the best thing for the Sooners, and the entire Big 12, is to miss the College Football Playoff.

No matter how much the Pac-12 stinks to football heaven, the Big 12 needs a stern lesson that defense must be a priority. The only thing that will do it is to miss the playoffs for the third time in five years.

Until this league learns lesson that defense wins it all, it will continue to live at the edge of the discussion of the national title rather than actually winning one.
