This year was bad - but most thought we could/should have beaten whom on our schedule? South Carolina was one early - but we saw how they played and next year it's away with a potential Heisman candidate (L); Vanderbilt - Pavia coming back - we couldn't stop him this year - next year its home in Nashville- (L); Georgia - we played em great - but we lost -going to probably be a lot worse next year between the hedges (L); Ole Miss - a hail Mary and being overlooked - only time Kiffen has lost to us - they will bring an even better team here next year - (L); Tennessee, we played them pretty good - but they are expected to be much better next year - and they could win it all this year - (L); Florida - yes we get them at home - but Florida caught fire and changed quarterbacks who may have been the best freshman QB in the league - they were a top 6 team in the conference at the end of the season (L); Texas - again they have most everyone back and beat us pretty badly - (L); Auburn had its worst team in years and thumped us- they have a great recruiting class and will probably have an excellent quarterback next year (L); finally Louisville - how did that game go this year at home - (L).

So, we have 3 non conference games we should win - however, as people have said Toledo is pretty good so it could be a tough win. I'm usually very optimistic and can usually show you a reason we should win games - but as of now the season looks bleak. I would set the over under next year at 3.5. Keeping Stoops this year is beyond silly - not only was he not prepared for this past year - he will not be able to build a team for next season. The next coach will be starting at a level that is only slightly better than when Stoops arrived in my opinion. Looking at this with real eyes instead of wanna be eyes is making my decision on season tickets.

But as always!
