This is the remaining schedule before OU opens conference play on the road in Manhattan versus KSU.

After taking a look at these teams and judging by the few road games and how the Sooners have played away from home thus far, I have to believe their chances are good to be undefeated going into conference play.

USC, Tulsa and Arkansas are never teams to be taken lightly but all have lost to unranked and inferior teams compared to OU.

The Tulsa game may as well be on the road since it will be held in Tulsa at the BOK Center. But I am sure plenty of Sooner fans will be in attendance at that game.

USC is at home and barring a complete collapse OU should win that.

Arkansas is a road game, they have already lost to the likes of Missouri State and have not had a good team there in years.

I would put Utah on the list of teams to watch out for, but they lost their first game of the season to a Division II team Southwest Baptist U.

VCU is the only other team I give a slim chance of pulling off the upset in a normal season, but they seem to be in a rebuilding mode now that Capel's recruits have graduated and they are only 3-3 on the season.

What are your thoughts? Will the Sooners stay unbeaten into conference play and beyond?

Will the Texas game in Norman be the first true test? If so what will the Whorns record be at that time?

This season has the promise to become a very special one and I want to follow it every step of the way. With the recent developments in football, this could be a great year for Sooners no matter the sport!

Good chances. I worry about Thursday's game though, as Blake and Willie both have the flu.

Also, Cannon looks to be history at OU.

Wow. That was quick.

not as quick as Rashaad Carruth (i think that was the t-fer from UK's name).

I wouldn't be surprised to see us drop one before conference play (even 2 would not be the end of the world). would not say Texas will be the first "true" test. Purdue is a top 15 team. Davidson was a very good win.

I was looking more to the future games and not the past ones. Undoubtedly OU passed a huge test by beating Davidson and Purdue and even UAB.

If you see two potential losses where would they come from?

And yeah what is the dealio with Cannon?

We get the toughest games (USC,Utah) at home so that will be nice. Arkansas will be a test with Clarke playing good, but I think we can win that game.
