No doubt that OU will have one of their better teams next year - they should continue to defend their home field pretty well as they've done in the past.
The big problem for OU will be the road games - they haven't been terribly consistent over the past 10-15 years in a much weaker conference, so what makes you think they'll excel on the road against the LSU, Bama, GA, FL, Auburn, aTm's of the SEC?? In fact, I don't see them going without a blemish against some of the lesser teams each year (you know, the S.Carolina's, Ole Misses, Miss State's of the world). Those teams stand toe-to-toe with Iowa State, KState, and OK State. And, these are the toughest opponents each year in the Big 12 outside of the Horns.
Prove me wrong??

Let's be honest, OU's defense has been terrible every time they made it to the playoffs. That is beginning to change. It will all come down to how they recruit on the defensive side. That is what this entire move for OU and Texas was about besides the money, keeping up in recruiting. I think OU will consistently finish in the top 4 of the league. The first year will be a challenge if it's next year. OU will moe than likely be breaking in a new QB.

As stated before we have a defense now for the first time in about 10 years!

OU hasn't been weak in road games. OU plays it's best football in the biggest venues in America against the best OOC teams. The bigger and louder the road game venue, the better we do.
