Dr. Saturday will be looking at the 25 most interesting teams headed into spring football through March, examining which programs have the biggest questions, the most expectations and the best storylines. This isn’t the 25 best going into the spring, just the 25 we’re keeping the closest eye on. OKLAHOMA What happened in 2012 The Sooners won 10 games. Again. That's what Bob Stoops does. In 11 of the last 13 years, Stoops has won at least 10 games. That's an impressive run that almost every program in college football would sign up for right now. Yet, there's the lack of the ultimate prize, at least since 2000. The Sooners haven't won a national championship in more than 12 years. For a team that is in the mix just about every single season, that's a reasonably significant drought, one that has some fans restless. Then came the Cotton Bowl at the end of last season, in which Texas A&M completely outplayed Oklahoma. Johnny Manziel blew through the Sooners defense for all kinds of records in the 41-13 rout. The Sooners won 10 games, including wins against rivals Texas and Oklahoma State, and grabbed a share of the Big 12 championship. Was that a disappointing year? Probably not, but it's safe to say Sooners fans were hoping for a little more. That's what happens when winning 10 games becomes the norm. What makes them interesting in 2013
