Thoughts?

The Sooners will have one heck of a second half schedule. After facing Notre Dame they will travel to Iowa State, then host Baylor, travel to West Virginia, host Oklahoma State, and travel to TCU.

Oklahoma has faced Oklahoma State to finish the regular season every year since 2004---but will not in 2012.
