Sec teams and fans don't know how impactful Oklahoma will be. There's tons of homers who are underestimating OU.
There are many homes that feel that ou will surprise everyone and win more than the experts have predicted. Let me repeat, the experts
@@corypeacock556 can you name one of the experts?
Oklahoma is the new Nebraska.

Only 8 conference games is a joke. SEC schedules cupcakes all the way into November.
That's a tough schedule but Florida may have a tougher one. Ole Miss has a cake walk and my TN Vols have a much easier schedule than we've had in years. Wonder who makes these schedules.
I’m glad you’re discussing this. I haven’t seen anyone go into the details like you did. It makes you wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes 🤔
Georgia still has not played A&M in College Station in football and A&M has been in the SEC for 12 years. Go figure.
Wow!!!
OU was picked 8th in the SEC. They play six of the seven teams picked ahead of them. One of the other two is AT Auburn. If OU can go 9-3 (5-3) against that schedule, they should not just be in the playoff, but they should be hosting. I think 9 wins are possible. Who knows, with a little luck, or dare say, Sooner Magic, maybe more.
I have them 10-2 ❤
12-0! I’m not counting this team out. There isn’t a single game on this schedule where I say, “yeah we’ll definitely lose that game.” They’re more loaded than they’ve been since probably 2007/08! And those defenses were pretty nasty back then. Our offense could be just as nasty with our receiver core and RBs. Plus we finally have great TE play as well, which we’ve been lacking. They also had something in common, Coach Brent Venables!
😂😂😂😂😂
They will not be in the playoff at 9-3. 10-2 isn’t even a lock for CFP. Didn’t OU have to replace the entire O-line?😖
@@ThatSoonerGuy I look at that schedule and instantly see losses AT Ole Miss, Auburn and LSU. They could also easily lose to TN, at Mizzou, to Bama and to TX.
they gave them UT at home instead of on the road to start their SEC schedule, that was very nice of the SEC
Moron...the game is always in Dallas. Not a home game. Wearing a red jersey does not mean that you are in Norman.
1st off the schedules will change in strength Every Year. So, Texas will feel it next year. 2nd you think the SEC has forgotten about the comments Bob Stoops made about them????
The schedules stay the same for next year except for home and away locations, which will be reversed.
I'm a sooner fan and I don't have a problem with the schedule I love it
I think it's awesome seeing teams like Alabama and Tennessee coming to Norman instead of teams like Baylor and west vagina
The SEC schedule is much harder than the Big 12. That’s why you get the big SEC money. Welcome to life in the SEC.
Depends on how you look at it.
I prefer to look at it as Oklahoma being sharpened by the iron of the SEC.
A couple of years down the road, Oklahoma will be the better for it. Texas, not so much.
? 😂
This logic makes no sense. They probably just used a random number generator or something for the schools that could be swapped.
Further, "in a few years Oklahoma will be better for it, Texas, not so much."
What, because we don't play tough games? 😂
Michigan. Last year and year before we had Bama scheduled. We play tOSU next year. 😂
Oklahoma schedules cupcakes in the ooc games, in the future, Texas will be better for it. Oklahoma, not so much.
See how dumb that ^ sounds?
@@bedlam1314 😂
The SEC knows exactly what they are doing. OU will play Alabama back to back in the 1st 2 years in the SEC 👍 As Georgia and Alabama ever played 2 back to back in the regular season ??? im really asking the question....when i searched, i could not find it.
I as a Sooner Fan love the challenge. Rather than being sad or upset about having a more difficult schedule than Texas we should be happy the the SEC is scared of OU enough to give them what seems like the tougher schedule. But I also want to approach this at a different angle as well. In what ways is OU's schedule "tougher" than Texas schedule? Has there been a single game played this season? Are there current statistics to suggest what teams are good and what teams are bad? No! Tough Schedules do not exist in the preseason. It is only when the season is complete when you see every teams' win/loss record to determine what teams were tough to play and which teams were not tough. What teams over performed and what teams under performed. The truth of the matter is this. We are basing OU's "tough" schedule on brand recognition rather than statistics we know about the current rosters of every team. As it stands right now every team is undefeated. Every team has lost the same amount of games; therefore, rather than wining about getting a "tough" schedule, lets be happy that we will finally get the respect we always wanted when we go and upset a bunch of these over-rated teams. You go 10-2 in the Big 12 there is no chance you make even a 12-team playoff (other than the conference winner of course). You go 9-3 in the SEC based on a certain schedule and you easily are in the playoff. If OU goes 9-3 this season, they will make the playoff. Just sayin.
The way OU won Red River last year is how they will play every team thus year. More fuel to the fire
By pure luck at the end? Didn't work against Kansas and OK State last year....... Lost bedlam for history!
Stacked schedule and about every big opponent has a bye or plays someone like Mercer the week before.
I dig it. If Oklahoma can be Oklahoma this year, the College GameDay crew may spend much of the season living out of the Sooner Schooner.
I can live with Alabama, Georgia, either Ol’ Miss or Florida or Tennessee popping up, in the SEC. But I’m equally ok if Texas and Oklahoma break into that finding a lot of success. It has gotten a bit boring with it either being Alabama or Georgia every year. I think they need to go to 9 conference games and no non-conference games late in the season.
You’d need to carve an exception in there regarding end of year out of conference games for South Carolina (vs Clemson), Florida (vs FSU) and maybe OU in the future if they resume Bedlam.
Of ALL the teams you mentioned you left off the ONLY team in the country with MORE national titles since start of BCS than ALL of those not named gumps.
@@FredPitre-o4b I really don’t care.
Not EVERY year... that's one of the things that makes the SEC so damned strong. Over the last 20 years or so, Bama has won 6 national titles, sure, and Georgia has won 2... but then LSU has won 3, Florida has won 2 and even Auburn has won 1. Five different SEC schools winning 14 national titles (with more than one all-SEC title game to boot). Trust me, it's anything but monotonous in the SEC.
@@FredPitre-o4b I don’t care.
You're absolutely right Mark! Can't argue with any of it.
Nobody is being screwed, if you start your very first season complaining isn't a good start. Play your games, winning solves everything. Stop crying 😭
This will only make OU stronger.
Atta boy mark finally someone who has the balls to call out the sec and texas football now we need much more jumping on the bandwagon of truth!!!!
1. It is because TX has more money. 2. They are scared of OU (only Bama is better history wise). Do I need to go on?
Exactly, OU dominated the Big 12, the SEC is trying to humble them.
Easy EASY to dominate in a ONE team conference. sooners haven't been relevant nationally since late 80's.
They chose to go to SEC. With that comes league rules. How is that being screwed?
OU finally not the big dog humble these fools
@@ThatOneDude11365 OU is not the biggest dog. AL is. But they went toe to toe with Nebraska for decades in the Big 8. 2 game of the century etc. They are a bigger and meaner dog than any team in the SEC other than Bama. I live in AR. The delusion that they have. That AR is a better team and program because they are in the SEC is mind blowing. There is no foundation to that except mental delusion.
Oklahoma and Florida have the two hardest schedules for 2024. Vendables has said he is building an Oklahoma team that doesn’t look like the other Big.12 or an SEC teams. Texas gained old SWC rivals Texas A&M and Arkansas
Maybe this is a good thing. We only lost to average teams last year. And the big dillon not being here thing. He overthrew consistly untill last year. I think Jackson is a better qb potentially. Im excited about this year.
They should have simply gone with a pod system - four 4-team pods, everybody plays the three teams in their pods every year (ALL rivalry games protected) and then plays half of the other teams home-and-away followed by the other half of the other teams home-and-away, Every school plays every team at least twice every four years... the only 'drawback' (if you can call it that) is that you have to play 9 conference games, but it's 100% fair and equitable. Every four year player gets to play in every stadium at least once in their career (see below) and every fan gets to see every SEC team in their stadium at least once every 4 years..
Pod #1:
Alabama
Auburn
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Pod #2:
Georgia
Florida
South Carolina
Kentucky
Pod #3:
LSU
Texas A&M
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
Pod #4:
Texas
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Missouri
There is no perfect way to do the scheduling, but yours is as close as I think you can get. I think they need to reconsider even playing a conference title game, as the top 2 SEC teams will be playoff teams regardless. Let all tied first place teams claim co champions and let the playoff committee decide which team deserves the bye.
To tell the truth they would hate to see Oklahoma come in and dominate. But there's about to be just that
NOT
The key to your claim is OU has to win win win and win some football games. If OU over the next few years can keep an average going of 10 win seasons then yes OU can rise to the top of the SEC
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 y’all lost to Kansas and K State last year
@@GDoggy-em2xc what u talkn bout Willis?
Welcome to the back of the bus 😂. Arkansas has been dealing with this for several years.
Mark, you want to know something even more unfair? Go look at all of OU’s SEC opponents schedule the week before they play OU. Almost all of them are either Byes, or really bad teams. Big disadvantage for OU IMO.
Good point
South Carolina plays Alabama the week before.
List out every opponent instead of cherry-picking one.
@@dgraham031588
Before Oklahoma:
Tennessee vs Kent St
Auburn vs Arkansas
Texas bye
Ole Miss bye
Missouri bye
Alabama Mercer
LSU vs Vanderbilt
@jollyfox please look at this list and tell me it’s not biased against OU. Things like this do not happen by random chance. For whatever reason, SEC or higher powers do not want OU to do well this year.
Tennessee will beat Oklahoma, what do you think about that?🤔 Go Big Orange 🍊
Great points, Mark. The SEC is complicit
>Why is the SEC SCREWING Oklahoma?
That's the hidden SEC entrance fee.
Texas?
Why does Texas play uga and ou then bottom 6 ou plays 7 of top 10 ? Texas opponents went 23 and 35 ou went 38 and 20 last year in sec . It’s for arch manning . He gets next year get 1 year against easier schedule then 2026 he will do his manning tour to ole miss and Tenn
@MarkRogersVOCFB think about it....TX was the target for Sanky and company all along. Largest market an all. Maybe scheduling was one of the agreements ?
This schedule is rough but OU will be fine. Venables will use it to make them tougher.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB 🐮
We are being tested. The tough schedule is a test to put us on guard of what is to co.e.
SEC scheduling became awful with the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri. Because the SEC office wanted to protect the cross rivalry game, each team played the same 7 teams each year with only one other cross division game rotated every other year. So, it was years before certain teams ever played each other. The SEC scheduling became essentially two mini-conferences under one head. But Oklahoma is not getting screwed, at least no more than Florida which has the toughest schedule this season by far. For the last decade, Florida had one tough schedule after another while Georgia did not. It's annoying and stupid, but don't take it personally OU fans.
According to Sankey the schedules were based on the winning percentage for teams over the past ten seasons. The higher the winning percentage the tougher the schedule. That's all well and good but it kind of falls apart when you look at how difficult Arkansas, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Mississippi State's schedules are. As an OU fan I welcome the tough schedule and I have to think the team does as well. There will be no questions as to where OU stands in the SEC at the end of the season.
Gators been dog last decade they got the hardest SEC schedule. splain that one?
@@FredPitre-o4b just another example of how Sanke lied about that.
@@stevejohnson6248 Very well possible. Hopefully they decide on permanent scheduling for '26 and beyond in not too distant future.
Thanks for bringing this up.... But even more pertinent... doing a "ten year winning percentage" schedule makes no sense... and is basically impossible to implement in an equitable fashion.
I hope BV can bring OU out of mediocrity . OU hasn’t won a national championship in over twenty years , they are beginning to look like Nebraska.
Spot on once again Mark. Schedules should be based off of the previous year. Make it Equal
OU will be just fine
They have the 4th or 5th toughest schedule in the conference. The fact that OU fans think they have a hard schedule makes me laugh.
OU and Clemson was the thorn in the SEC side for decades. Since OU dominated the big 12, it is the SEC way of trying to make the conference seem better if OU doesn't come over and instantly go 10+ wins. Cause remember all we heard from the SEC for 25 years was... "OU would only be medicre if in the SEC, so they don't deserve to go to the national championship game."
As for Texas, since they have aucked the last 15 years minus 2 seasons, that doesn't matter, so they want to pump them up for thar Texas market revenue.
Aside from my above comment, It would be DEVASTATING to have OU and Texas both make the SEC championship the first year or two. Would make the conference look week.
So watch for bad ref play as well, cause they can't let that happen.
ou and clemson? DECADES get real man.
LOL. Decades? The OU scruple isn’t any harder than Georgia’s. OU will be fine.
@@jansonroberts2616 If you don't think sooners have a harder schedule than uga. you sir have no clue about the better teams in the SEC.
@@FredPitre-o4b LOL, my Dawgs are the top SEC team. We’ve beat every team on your schedule regularly except for Alabama and Texas. And we both play them this season. Georgia has to play them in Tuscaloosa and Austin. So try to understand that this isn’t the Big12 anymore. We embarrassed Tennessee and LSU the last time we played. So save the sir and mam for the tennis field. Mizzou, while a good team, aren’t winning against my Dawgs as the record clearly shows. Ole Miss? Yeah they’re real tough, again go look at their record against the Dawgs. 🤣🤣🤣. South Carolina? Really? It’s been years. I’m failing to see what you all are crying about here. It’s an SEC schedule. Why did you come over here if the schedules are too tough? I’m guessing that this is just some of the more casual OU fans that have to worry and wring their hands about every little thing. We aren’t hearing this from Coach BV or any administration folks. All I can say is Welcome Sooners! Glad to have you! Looking forward to some great matchups! Time for some thick skin, tighter chin straps and some serious football. Go Dawgs and good luck Sooners!
As a Horns fan and a realist, THEY AINT GOING AWAY . everybody will have to face them and then they’ll know . Hookem 🤘
I agree they had to know. To bolster the argument that they had to know is the fact that OU’s 7 toughest opponents either have bye weeks before the Oklahoma game, or play teams like Vanderbilt, Kent St, Mercer, Arkansas. It’s my belief that the SEC wanted to bolster its reputation of being the best conference by having the school that dominated the Big 12 struggle coming into the league. I think they actually did Oklahoma a favor though. It removes most of the pressure and allows them to take a me against the world attitude. Additionally, if OU can split their 6 toughest games and win the ones they should, they’d be 9-3 with a strong argument to make the playoffs. That would be one hell of a battle tested and dangerous playoff team.
Great point on incompetent or corrupt
Thank you Sir for again revealing this pronounced discrepancy with OU’s scheduling versus Texas and others scheduling in the SEC IN 2024 and 0:15 2025! Would you continue digging until SOMEONE comes clean why this has happened!!! OU will rise no doubt but this looks ridiculous on paper and the field!
Sec homers always said the top teams in the b12 and acc would be 3-5 loss sec teams. Well now we get to find out if thats true or not!
Your looking at it all wrong.
They had to give Texas an easier schedule. And they had to give Oklahoma a tougher schedule.
Now, I am someone will ask why. And it’s really obvious.
I agree. I'd like to see tx and okl switch schedules
Tough schedules are just an excuse for why a team lost. If you win, nobody cares if it was tough. It only matters when you lose.
Not hard to see why it is the way it is. It's all about money. SEC wants to put as many teams as it can in the playoffs so they took the teams they thought had the best chance and gave them the easiest schedules. They obviously don't respect OU's current team.
Waagh. That's not how it works. It's an SEC schedule. Some years it's favorable, some years it's not.
The all-time worst schedules came in 2020. Look at who Arkansas, Bama, and UGA faced.
"Protected games do not have to be equal." Well said Mark.
Keeping Bama/UT and UGA/Auburn was vital, but the rest don't matter.
So tired of people crying about schedules. Some years you will have a tough schedule and some years you will have a easy schedule. That's just how it is. This will be the 2nd year in a row that Florida has a brutal schedule but I don't hear them crying. Stop with the BS.
I'm not sure Gamecocks and Aggies had even heard of the each other until the SEC came in and said "This is your new rival!" The first game ever between the two was Texas A&M's 3rd year in the SEC.
What the SEC should have done is move Alabama and Auburn to the SEC East and move Vanderbilt and Missouri to the SEC West. While we would have missed LSU/Florida it should have been a sacrifice worth making to have a coherent schedule
Good work Mark!
Oklahoma fans don't worry. Oklahoma will be elite team in the SEC within the next two years. Recruiting will improve and Oklahoma will be right there with Georgia, Texas and Alabama.
So the SEC when making 2024 schedules went by program history and used how teams did from 2013 - 2022. They divided teams into top 1/2 and bottom 1/2 based on who had winning conference records and losing conference records over the 10 year period.
The 4 teams with a losing conference record Oklahoma got were Tennessee, Ole Miss, Missouri, and South Carolina.
Tennessee was offset by Auburn being one of the teams with a winning record.
Nobody predicted in early 2023, when the schedules were made, that Ole Miss and Missouri would be as strong as they were last year or that they would be ranked as high this year.
It was bad luck, and it happens when looking at teams past to project their future.
Yes. I understand that. I know the formula. We reviewed all that at the time. But when the formula produces garbage, then you adapt.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB But the schedules were made before the season. Most people projected Ole Miss at 8=4 or 7-5 last season, didn't expect them to keep as many 6th year SRs, and didn't expect the 2024 portal Haul. Missouri hadn't finished above ,500 in the conference since 2014 and we're picked 4th or 5th in the East last year.
It’s the manning plan . Next year same schedule home fiend switches . So arch dent one year to be starter then 2026 he is going to do the tour play at ole miss at Tenn . For his manning tour. I 0:01 think this something sec really looked at , they won’t ever admit it but it’s a big factor
It didn't screw up, it was on purpose, cynical, but on purpose.
Texas' buck is up. They aren't this good all the time. Right now they are a massive possible success story and big time publicity as a possible national champion with an unsure Bama and Ole Miss, Georgia driving issues, and incomplete teams in LSU and Tennessee, Texas is the hero they need.
OU is a bad as they have been in the last 25 years. They'll be back up soon.
Not surprised at all. No way the SEC folks want Oklahoma coming in and winning big time. Though I'm not sure why they would give Texas a much easier schedule.
Well, speaking for LSU fans, I can assure you we're not too worried... :P
@@Ellis_Hughyou will be
@@sonofthesOUth77 You think OU's gonna beat LSU in Death Valley? 🤣 Better hope it's not at night.
@@mcat3309 yes, I do
OU is tied with Ohio State as the second best team in cfb history. That ain’t changing
Everyone keeps telling Oklahoma they arent ready for the SEC. In reality the SEC isn't ready for Texas. Some how, some way, they walk in the door and conferences bow down. They killed the SWC. Just about killed the Big 12... And the SEC is still allowing them to do it.
Of course they are going to reevaluate in two years. Texas isnt going to play the schedule that the SEC handed OU. They will rework things to ensure the most overrated team in football (true stat, not trash talk) has the easiest schedule possible. And they will still lose 4-5 games more often than not.
Look texass is gay all day
WAN! Just what I said would happen once Tx and OU came into the conference, cry every time something didn't go their way. Lmao... Miz
Mark i dont get it. OU is a blueblood historic program and has a normal SEC schedule. If you wanna be the best you have to beat the best. Just look up Miss. State or Floridas schedule. I bet you 100 Bucks OU never would exchange their schedule with State or the Gators. Miss. State plays back to back @Texas and @Georgia followed by a homegame against Elko and the A&M Aggies. After a 2 week breather against Arkansas and UMass we play @Tennessee and @Ole Miss split by a homegame against Mizzou. I guess i dont have to tell you what a gauntlet the Gators have to deal with. Or take South Carolina. OU will get easy schedules and TX some harder ones. It will all break even over time.
You just proved my point.
SEC has always had an agenda lol
It should be easy. Cycle the current schedules minus non conference and the 1 Rivalry game that is stuck. That set of 7 teams moves to the next and that Team gets another already set of 7. Its done and its going to cycle who gets a hard as heck schedule and an easier schedule
Oh, that's a shame.
6:01 as conferences get to where there's less division play where everyone plays everyone, this will be inevitable. There's always teams that are better or worse than we realize. Look at ND playing duke and Lousiville in between USC and Ohio State.
Allllllllways crying...... Oh Youu fans defended that cream puff schedule last year, and cry this year......
How is the sec screwing Oklahoma ?
Excellent analysis. This bias is utterly absurd. No one else dares hit this level of detail on potential corruption and predetermining of a "champion" or championship contender. It's pretty clear what's going on here - it's time to return Texas to the podium so Texas has greased the skids of the SEC with ? ($) or ?.
Mark - one question, can you adjust the views of the charts or stats you show when you are speaking? This happens quite often here and is again with this video. When you're going thru the TX v OU schedules, we can only see three or four schools rather than the entire schedule and it doesn't match with the teams you're speaking of at that moment. Better to see all of it in one screen. Make sense?
Thanks Enzo. Will do my best.
Texas' success has been subsidized by their parent confernece headquarters in now 3 different leagues. SEC believes a very sucessful UT means a lot of additional funds in market reenue for them all so they start out one of the nation's stronger teams with 2 years of very weak schedules to push their success as much as possible. Bring on te super conference alignment before Texas destroys another conference afiliation.
Agreed! Hated the 6-1-1 format
OU is the Rodney Dangerfield of college football😎😎😎
The Sooners will hold their own against these heavyweights. Would rather see them play the Tide than the Commodores.
The ACC, Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 all the same problem: too many damn teams! Everyone is going to play only half of the teams in their own conference, give or take a game. It’s complete absurdity! Conference championships are going to be determined based on your conference schedule exclusively. This is going to change every year, both in terms of the teams on your schedule and the teams on everyone else’s schedule. No one really knows, to any degree of certainty, what type of season any team is going to have. There are surprises every year. On the good and the bad side. This is never going to change. It’s always going to be this way with these stupid super conferences. We go from the era of the mythical national championship to the new age of the mythical conference championship. Just plane stupid!
SEC may have had the first ever Conference championship game, but I'm not overlooking the fact that the B1G Conference was the first to have a Conference & the first to start their very own Conference Network.
They’re not screwing OU they are a blue blood they supported to play the best
Texas gets all the hard Games at home Acceot the Aggies
I've asked this in the past:
Please give us a schedule rotation that keeps ALL ANNUAL RIVALRIES as that: YEARLY CONFERENCE GAMES, along with EVERYBODY playing EVERYBODY & finishing AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME # OF MEETINGS. You keep talking about "parity scheduling based off last year's results", which will almost NEVER match a balanced rotation. You could have Teams A & B meet up every year while Teams A & C or Teams B & D not meet for 10+ years. Who does that benefit?
Also, with a rotation schedule format, you EASILY solve the # H/A games each year. With parity, you could have Team A needing 5 H games while Team B needing 3H (simply because the host team switches their next meeting).....doesn't sound balanced to me.
Lastly...with a rotation, you can plan road trips for games you want to see instead of: fan 1 - "When will Georgia play at Oklahoma?" fan 2 - "How would I know?".
Overall, parity WILL NEVER work in scheduling unless you don't care about distance between matchups.
FWIW, have you done this with the other conferences? 👀
Rivalry games. Texas plays three of them.
SEC isnt screwing Oklahoma. Its just part of being in the conference. My team, Mississippi State, has had to play this type schedule every year. We never get to play a Miss State. Alabama never has to play an Alabama. Just get used to it. There has always been a 2 win difference in mid tier SEC schools vs any other conference's mid tier school.
I disagree ou teams went 38 and 20 last year in sec tecas went 23 and 35 last year. They could have had ou play vandy Texas ole miss or ou Kentucky Tex tenn . Know divisions or anything more. They want arch manning to have a year to start them 2026 his second year starting he will do the manning tour to miss and Tenn . Absolutely no reason accept that they want catch very prepared for those games
I understand your points sir, but they have nothing to do with what I addressed and what could be fixed. I'm not talking about inequity in SEC schedules vs other conferences.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB my point was that there are no easy schedules in the SEC. Every schedule in the SEC has always had a gauntlet of 3 ranked teams in a row. Every schedule, every year. No other conference can say that. That's my point.
Welcome to the SEC & get ready to suck it up buttercup. Don’t be surprised if Texas slips up & loses to one of those “lesser” teams somewhere along the way. Also last year’s records have very little bearing on current year’s schedule as they are usually made many more years in advance. BTW, I bet that Florida would trade schedules with Oklahoma in a heartbeat.
@@habibimaya Texas has an easy one. .483 opponent conference win percentage including GA's 8-0 and some of those that contributed to the .483 played each other. Basically, for what Texas is rated, they have a 1 game conference schedule. Rogers is right.
Why should we give texas an unfair advantage for2 seasons, or should I say why should sec give texas and other teams the advantage its not that hard to be fair and just which we know is not!!!!
I believe this is the problem that he is stating. If texas is ranked so high then they should have the harder schedule. They rank OU low and give them the harder schedule. He was just saying put the schedule where your mouth is. But to be honest it does come across like whinny we you say its not fair. We will be fine. Its OU against the world baby lets GO !!! Boomer !!!
That’s not what I’m saying. It has nothing to do with who is supposed to be good.

It's all good in Oklahoma we don't get to be underdogs much but 00 was exactly that and this D is going to be as good as any from our Championship playing teams of the mid to late 00s I'm loving the disrespect in the fact I know coach V is going to use it as bulletin board material to get these boys focused to show the SEC and everyone that OU is the prize not Texas SMH the fact the cowgirls only had 4 Big 12 titles compared to OUs 12 not to mention we was the ones that gave them that loss during the regular season but Texas as always gets overhyped but the SEC will find out soon enough I guarantee that much Boomer Sooner it's going to be tough but if this team plays together and takes another step I believe we will be right there at the end
The SEC will be surprised because they have not seen Oklahoma play week in week out. Add Venables whose defense shut down bama in a natty should understand he has his players he picked ready for the SEC.
sooners have FOUR all american DLinemen? That's what Dabo supplied him with at clemson. CBV is the dude that shit his pants 2 weeks in a row after getting the biggest win in his coaching career. That venables defense that
surrendered 32 PPG last SIX games of the season. It was 31 PPG given up last EIGHT.
I'd say that Oklahoma will be surprised as they haven't had to play the SEC week in and week out. Your team gets worn down MUCH faster playing a top 20 foe pretty much every week than it does when it plays one a couple of times a year.
@@Ellis_Hugh In the LAST SIX regular seasons the sooners have played a grand total of TWO top 10 foes. NOT TWO a season but TWO in SIX years. WELCOME to the SEC.
@@FredPitre-o4b We (LSU) gave 'em a little prelude of what to expect in 2019...
@@Ellis_Hugh that we did
IMO OU will go 8-4
Corrupt of course. This is life in the USA, we do what we want and worry about the consequences later...Boomer
Is it possible that its a way to control who they want to make it to the SEC championship game?
No. It's an SEC schedule. Some years it's harder than others.
Corrupt.
Quit crying, Oklahoma had the easiest schedule in the big 12, they still didn’t do anything with that schedule
This is maybe the most imbecilic comment on this thread. OU and Texas played round robin schedules in the big twelve up until last year for an entire decade. OU rarely finished behind Texas.
Everybody in the big 12 had the same schedule
@@jaymoore2154 ou didn't have to play the SOONERS!!
@@FredPitre-o4b would've been a great game
Are you not all there? I don’t want to punch down here. To be quite frank, this is legitimately one of the most naive comments I’ve had the misfortune of coming across on this app. Then to top it off, you’re saying Oklahoma has the easiest schedule in the big12 while we played YOUR shorthorns EVERY single season 😂 It really can’t get any worse than this when it comes to dumb comments. But hey bro, props to you for admitting how mediocre Texas has been and will continue to be. That’s the first step in all of this, acceptance.
🙆🏻♀️🤷♀️🏈
Don't forget that most of Oklahoma's toough conference opponents get either a bye or a cupcake the week before Oklahoma plays them. It is intentional at the least. The relationship between the eSECpn and the failure and now dissolved Shorthorn network, really, how is this not obvious? The conference claims is based on how well the program has done over the past 10 years. The strength of schedule is somehow based off the last 10 years. What? Why isn't Bama and uga's schedules the hardest then? Why isn't Vandy's the easiest. Instead Florida and Oklahoma's are easily the hardest and texsa and midzOU's are the easiest. Make it make sense?
Hmmm… How long ago has it been since OU won the Big XII? Can’t remember can you,eh? OU will be just another football team in the SEC. They will learn to learn to love 7-5 and the Charmin Poop Paper Bowl.
I remember OU beating the team that won the Big XII last year.
I also remember the team that won the SEC not doing that.
@@drwinstonOboogi Yep! OU did beat Texas. Unfortunately for OU, they are now the little brother to Texas. They followed the no horns to the SEC. Get used to being just another team in the SEC. Ask Nebraska how their B10 experience has been. Ask A&M how the SEC has been. You’ll be a great conversation participant. I just can’t wait for the excitement of the OU v Ole Miss game or the thrill of OU v LSU. I look forward to the future of playing in Kentucky or at Auburn. OU has so much in common with SEC teams. I hope OU has success and I hope they develop friendships with schools that will not think they don’t fit culturally with the SEC. Talk to Missouri about that one. Boomer!
@@OttoCharles49 Tex will still win the occasional game but OU is still Daddy, that's not gonna change. B10 wasn't the cause of Neb's decline which was already happening to them in the B12. A&M is mid in the SEC just like they were in the B12 but they do seem to have embraced their roll as a coattail rider. Every SEC program is in the South expect Missouri which is classified as a Midwestern state.
OU and Texas will thrive in the SEC. They were the top 2 programs in the 2000's before they started missing out on elite recruits to the SEC bagman and the lure of playing in the SEC. Those days are over. But *only OU can pitch "Come play for the SEC's all time leading producer of NFL Draft picks."* I don't think OU cares about making friends, they only care about respect. 3 SEC programs already have their worst loss in program history to OU and if any of them slip, that number is probably going to grow. Sooner!
OU dominated the Big XII more than any team has dominated any conference. They won 14 Big XII titles from 2000 - 2020. That's 14 in 21 years. They went a whopping three seasons without winning the conference and two of those years came an eyelash away from playing in the championship game.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB Still, OU hasn’t been relevant in the Big XII for 4 years. The days of Bob Stoops are long gone. I give that coach conference credit, but the only National Championship he delivered was with John Blake’s recruits. OU will adapt to the SEC, but year one? I wish OU the best, but they will be paying a price on win/loss. Following Texas was not a “leadership” decision.
The SEC DOES NOT want the 2 new blue bloods to have a chance to win the SEC Championship their first year in the conference. So what’s their strategy? Give Texas and OU the hardest schedule in conference history.
I don’t think you watched the video.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB LOL. No kidding.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB I most certainly did watch the video! I just felt compelled to show my disdain for the Sooners leaving the Big 12. I’ve never been a fan of the SEC and now I’ll be forced to watch it at least 12 weeks a year! Not only that, my long rants help the YT algorithms driving more people to watch this video! So let me vent!🤣 #BoomerSoonet
Neither team qualifies for that LAST sentence you typed.
Sir, Texas’s schedule is very easy. Please go look at it.
Why? Just like the Big 10 knew about Nebraska, and the PAC 10 knew about Colorado. A new member who IS a mid-card performer will be TREATED as a mid-card performer. Get used to being an average team taken somewhat seriously by most of the conference.
What about Texas? I don’t think you watched the video.
It might be hard for coattail riding SEC homer fans to accept that being a couple spots lower in the pecking order is what their life is going to be. OU & TX are no longer at a recruiting disadvantage. They will build monsters.
The SEC gave worse teams an easier schedule, and the better teams have a harder schedule. The SEC wants to increase parity.
That's not the case here.
@MarkRogersVOCFB I can't find it, but I believe that the schedules are based on what the program has done over the last 10 years. If that's the case, then Oklahoma would have a much more difficult schedule than Texas.
@@darealmvp2437 "Parity."
Seriously... do better.
So texas got a much easier schedule than OU because they are worse than OU? Makes since.
Parody? I guess you are correct. 🤪
Compare UM to OSU😮
Ok. Ohio State's Big Ten opponents: 71-46 overall / 46-38 vs conference. Michigan: 71-46 overall / 45-38 vs conference. Almost identical. Your point?
Hope Texas Am, and vandy jumps to ACC in 2027..
So this means that all the guff over the past 20 years, about playing an SEC schedule is the hardest thing a team can do, isn't exactly the truth? You can't have it both ways. If the SEC would do this for Texas, who is a nobody in the world of SEC football as of today, they damned sure would have done it for Alabama and or Georgia at some point over the last 20 years. I bet you disagree though, but you're being a homer if you can't see it. To be fair, maybe you are right, but if so, then there are easy SEC schedules, and again, that means a lot of other stuff hasn't been quite as portrayed.
I don’t think you listened to the video. The SEC schedule formula was so precise from 1992-2023, there were no decisions to be made. I could’ve told you what everyone’s schedule would be every year as well as ten years in advance. And no, it was not made easier for Alabama and Georgia.
@@MarkRogersVOCFB If the teams Texas is playing are "weak" then the vaunted "SEC schedule of death" for all the SEC teams who we have been assured have ALL had to play a super tough schedule year in and year out, cannot possibly be a correct assessment. Again, I'm sure you will not agree, but it still is the opposite of what all SEC fans and sports commentators have been saying for years. You cannot claim it both ways. That is what we expect from homers not professionals. Just like when the SEC used to say the Big 12 didn't play defense and OU's Stoops correctly reminded everyone that if the SEC defenses were playing NFL caliber QBs week in and week out, the SEC defenses wouldn't be playing 9-6 games. Nowadays, with the SEC having super talented QBs, often 2 or even 3 deep on the depth chart and being able to overcome injuries and graduations, amazingly there are no more 9-6 games today in the SEC. I get it, you need clicks and Texas and Dallas get clicks. Hell, you might even believe it, but it is still the opposite of what the SEC has been portraying for years.
is the whining starting already?
Not whining. Mark is simply pointing out the ever present bs the SEC creates.
@@domenicdurante966 OU’s schedule isn’t any harder than Georgia’s. It’s the SEC for crying out loud. Some years the schedule is harder, some years it’s easier. Thankfully, BV isn’t crying or whining about a freakin schedule. He already knows the SEC and what it takes. A stand up coach and he’ll have his team ready to play. Go dawgs!
No, just the winning!
@@jansonroberts2616 CBV really isn't in a position to say anything about it. But, we fans can.
@@domenicdurante966How’s that working?
Look at the gators schedule. How about trading with them, stop complaining.
But Florida is weak, anyway.
@@RonaldDub60 The gators are gonna be a lot better this year I believe.
The real UT plays 3 rivalry games. OU only one. Plus UT schedule actual games for non conference. OU always schedules easy games.
Huh, I didn’t know that?
College football is awesome! You should try watching a game sometime, you might enjoy it!
Clueless.
Saying UT has three rivals and then claiming that somehow makes the schedule harder is all I needed to read to know you’re a loony. Texas is our rival, the best rivalry in CFB. As I’m sure you’re aware, it’s called the Red River Shootout. That’s because we don’t need manufactured rivalries for ratings. We had Georgia scheduled the last two seasons in noncon but the SEC cancelled them when we finalized the SEC move. So, you were saying?
@@ThatSoonerGuy OU canceled it. UT didn’t cancel bama.
