You have a point. Aside from their 76-0 drubbing of FCS 0-6 Western Carolina, Oklahoma has won all five of their game by seven points or less. Aside from their last three games (against Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma State) two of their other three games also provide somewhat of a test (TCU and Texas Tech).

Yeah, their season could go up in flames in spectacular fashion very fast.
It's crazy to me, how in 1 season Clemson and Oklahoma have been utter disasters. Both didn't seem to lose all that much talent in the off season, but look like shells of themselves this year. Both are in laughably weak conferences, and have went from dominating them with higher rated talent than them all, to now just being middle of the pack.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Let's try to learn something from the OU Daily's quarterbacks story, and how OU retaliated
Oct 13, 2021
The OU Daily broke some news about Oklahoma’s quarterback situation on Tuesday. The university didn’t care for how the student newspaper went about that and punished the entire OU beat by canceling Zoom interviews Wednesday.
The story exploded all over social media, as things tend to do these days. Folks immediately dug in and took a side. Also, sadly, what people tend to do anymore.
Let’s see if we can think a little deeper here with an attempt at some nuance.
Mason Young and Austin Curtright wrote the OU Daily story (full disclosure: Young interned with us last summer and I thought he did outstanding work). They talked to Spencer Rattler’s dad. That was of enormous value. I used what Mike Rattler told the Daily in my column Tuesday.
Young and Curtright also observed OU’s practice Tuesday morning despite the fact that OU's football practices are closed to the media and the public. They tracked Rattler’s snaps vs. Caleb Williams’ and noted that Williams threw to starting receivers.
“The Daily watched the offensive practice regimen from a public building near the OU football practice field,” the story went, “with no athletics employees discouraging observation. The Daily does not observe practice regularly, but did so Tuesday under heightened interest given the situation.”
That’s what aggravated the university.

Caleb Williams takes majority of snaps with first team, Spencer Rattler still committed to Sooners, father says
Oct 12, 2021
“For right now, he’s focused on working for this team, and we’ll see what happens after Jan. 10,” Mike Rattler said. “Hopefully he’ll be playing in the national championship on Jan. 10, and then after that we’ll evaluate where he is as far as if any teams are interested in him in the NFL, we’ll consider that.
“If we think, ‘Hey, you know what, we may ought to do another year or something at Oklahoma, wherever’… we’re leaving our options open whereas that is concerned, but for the most part, right now, we don’t even talk about it, because he’s got a task at hand to deal with.”

Well, his father's statements didn't last long, did Spenser latter tweet "Fucc Oklahoma"?
Regardless, he should have toughed it out at Oklahoma for the remainder of the season/semester, i.e. he'll get credits for the classes he passes, he'll still be practicing, he still could end up being QB1 before the end of the season, and (most of all) it shows more class. Immediately after the regular season, if he still wants to, he can enter the transfer portal.
