Looking over the recently released NCAA Coaches Poll…..once again Oklahoma is viewed as a Top 5 team but I’m not taking the bait. Something will go wrong.
It’s been that way for about 10 year now. The seasons that they’re projected to be a title contender they always fall flat, either due to injuries to key players or poor play. And the seasons that they’re projected to be a run of the mill team, they always overachieve.
For instance last year they were projected to be ranked anywhere between 15-20. They finished in the top 5.
Also, not much was expected of the 2013 team yet they finished 6th overall.
In 2009 & 2014 they were the consensus favorites to win it all or at least projected to be in the title game. In both seasons they failed miserably.
Bottom line, don’t believe the hype. This team will most likely lose at least 3 games and will finish no better than 15th.
