This Saturday, Oklahoma is likely to find themselves at the top of the AP preseason poll.
They have begun the season in the top 10 every season during the past decade.
Though they had an undeniably successful decade—fifth-winningest team in the country and fourth-winningest amongst AQ-teams—they have failed to live up to the hype when they reach the big games.
Though the polls are not supposed to be "official" until Week 8, a team that begins the season in a high spot is difficult to leapfrog, no matter what the teams behind him do.
In short, Bob Stoops has a great team and has compiled an incredible record in Norman.
But do his Sooners deserve to be preseason No. 1?
