That take completely ignores the reality of Oklahoma's roster construction. They return 16 starters including a quarterback with 25 career starts, which is more continuity than most top 15 teams can claim. Their offensive line brings back 85 combined starts, a unit that ranked top 20 in pass block win rate last season. Defensively, they added multiple proven Power Four transfers on the defensive line and at linebacker to address last year's run defense issues. The CBS projection of 10 wins is absolutely plausible given their schedule; they avoid Texas, Alabama, and Georgia in the regular season. Their toughest road game is at LSU, and they get Tennessee, Missouri, and Arizona all at home. To call them the most overrated team is a massive stretch when you have other ranked teams breaking in new quarterbacks or replacing double-digit NFL Draft picks. Oklahoma's proven QB play and favorable schedule alignment make them a legitimate contender for the SEC title game in their first year. The talent drain is overstated because the portal additions directly replaced the departures, and their overall team experience is a major asset.
