08:25 AM ET 05.09 | Earlier this week, the Sooners lost wide receiver Kameel Jackson to Texas A&M, though another has reportedly decided to join the program. Fresno State receiver Jalen Saunders has decided to transfer to Oklahoma, according to multiple reports. Saunders, at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, led Fresno State in receiving with 50 catches, 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns while earning All-Western Athletic Conference honors. Saunders will have to sit out a year at Oklahoma, per NCAA transfer rules, and will have two years of eligibility remaining. Saunders, according to the Sacramento Bee, also was considering Texas A&M, Washington and Sacramento State. According to the Bee, Saunders decided to leave Fresno State after a new coaching staff was hired.

Only if they change their seasonal direction. They seem to have started good and fizzled toward the end lately. Injuries may have caused some of that. They need to peak more toward the end of the season IMHO.

Yes, injuries killed them last year. b12 should have 3-4 teams that are very talented from the starters perspective but drop off quick. Who gets lucky and can avoid the injury will prevail

Could explain why the old coot is so full of crap.

Yep. I was just being diplomatic.

OU will be 11-1 or 10-2. TCU, ND, KSU, Texas, and WVU are enough to where undefeated seems very unlikely.

And IMHO OU and WVU get the two BCS bowl invites for the B12.

^ ^ ^ = TCU diss.

Choose your justification:

A. Drug problem fallout?
4. Too much lost talent?
n. Too much SOS increase?
%. Small stadium not providing enough crowd noise, leading to Stadium Envy?
V. None of the above
E. All of the above
