Hard to know what to make of them.

Baylor is legit. They are a top 10 team.
Oklahoma has serious problems...not just this year, either. Texas is a mess, but they have too many inherent advantages to stay down for too long. Oklahoma, on the other hand, looks to be heading down the Nebraska trail. Worse, even.
This could be the perfect storm hitting OU. Oklahoma State is on the rise. Baylor is on the rise. aTm has arrived. Tech may be on the rise. TCU is now in a BCS conference.
They are getting more and more competition for recruits, especially out of Texas, as there are a lot more viable options competing for those kids than there used to be.
It used to be that Texas got first pick, Oklahoma got second pick, and everyone else battled for the rest.
Now, aTm and Texas are both picking from the top, and OU is battling it out with TCU, Okie Lite, Baylor, Tech, etc.
