Bob Stoops certainly is in an odd position. And what’s happening with his Oklahoma Sooners also is a conundrum for the rest of the Big 12.
OU, the defending Big 12 champion and a decided favorite to repeat back in August, was 1-2 in September. The only other time that’s happened in Stoops’ 18 seasons in Norman was in 2005.

This week, the Sooners open Big 12 play on the road against the Horned Frogs, and oddsmakers have established the game as a “pick ‘em†contest.
