No. 2 Clemson | No. 4 Florida State | Top 25No. 3: OklahomaLast Season: 11-2 (8-1 Big 12)Defying expectationsIn 2014, the Sooners were predicted to make the inaugural College Football Playoff ... and they finished 8-5. In 2015, not much was expected-they were listed in the lower rungs of the preseason Top 25 -- and they made the playoff. Expectations here are what they are, coach Bob Stoops says. Im fortunate to be at a place with that kind of pressure, [rather] than somewhere you feel like you have to sneak up on people every year. This year Boomer will sneak up on no one thanks to Americas most dynamic backfield duo, QB Baker Mayfield (Big 12 offensive player of the year, 315.8 total ypg) and running back Samaje Perine (five 100-plus-yard games, sixth most in the Big 12). There are questions downfield (Sterling Shepard, whose 3,482 career yards ranks second in OU history, was drafted in the second round) and on defense, where OU lost four first-team All-Big 12 players. And theres little time to solve them, with Houston, Ohio State, TCU and Texas crammed into the first six weeks of the schedule. -- Ryan McGeeBaylor lost its head coach and nearly half of this years recruiting class, so Oklahoma has the Big 12s clearest shot to the playoff. Mayfield (3,700 passing yards last year) leads my No. 4 offense, with Perine and Joe Mixon, my sixth-ranked rushing duo, behind him. There is no drop-off to the defense either, led by CB Jordan Thomas (5 INTs last year) and the 135 combined tackles of SS Steven Parker and FS Ahmad Thomas. The catch? The past four times the Sooners have been ranked preseason top five, they ended at No. 15 or lower-including finishing unranked twice.IN IF... It can beat Ohio State and TCU. On paper, these are the Sooners toughest home and road games, respectively. Win those and OU can probably even afford to slip once (as it did last year in a loss to Texas).OUT IF... The defense doesnt carry its weight. Last year the Sooners defense more than held its own, ranking first in the Big 12 in scoring D (22.0 points per game). Mayfield and this offense can win most games (43.5 ppg last season), but somewhere along the line theyll need help.OUs chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Houston (NRG Stadium): 90.4% 09.10 vs. UL Monroe: 99.7% 09.17 vs. Ohio State: 81.0% 10.01 @ TCU: 80.4% 10.08 vs. Texas (Dallas): 81.4% 10.15 vs. Kansas State: 95.2% 10.22 @ Texas Tech: 86.7% 10.29 vs. Kansas: 98.7% 11.03 @ Iowa State: ?94.7% 11.12 vs. Baylor: 85.3% 11.19 @ West Virginia: 75.5% 12.03 vs. Oklahoma State: 73.6%Three heavyweight bouts in their first four games will mightily test Oklahoma, but this team has too much talent and too few flaws to not rise to the challenge. The Sooners can survive those early punches, roll to an 11-1 record and get another shot at the College Football Playoff.?-- Max OlsonIn Baker Mayfield, Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon, the Sooners boast a backfield that might be the envy of college football. The non-conference schedule is a load, but Oklahomas dynamic trio will propel them to an 11-1 record and return trip to the CFP.?-- Jake TrotterNo. 2 Clemson | No. 4 Florida State | Top 25 Cheap Green Bay Packers Jerseys .

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns murky quarterback situation may be clearing.Josh McCown is on track to return and start Sundays game against the Jets. Coach Hue Jackson said that McCown has been medically cleared from his broken left collarbone to play.The veteran was a full participant in practice, but Jackson said he wont name McCown the starter until he goes through the full week of practice.Definitely been medically cleared, Jackson said. Well see how it goes the rest of the week and go from there.If McCown starts, it increases the Browns chances to win their first game. Cody Kessler is in the NFL concussion protocol and the only other two quarterbacks are recently activated or signed rookies Kevin Hogan and Joe Callahan.McCowns full practice was his first since he broke his collarbone in a loss to Baltimore on Sept. 18. He has been doing limited work in practice the previous two weeks, but was cleared to play this week.Obviously the doctors and everybody wouldnt allow me to be out there if we werent going in the right direction, McCown said.Jackson has been through several midweek injuries this season, so he said he wanted to wait to see how he turns out.Things change, as you guys know, during the week, Jackson said.MMcCown faced the Jets a year ago in the season opener, and guided the Browns on a 90-yard drive.dddddddddddd But on third down he tried to run for a touchdown and was helicoptered in the air. The result: A concussion and a fumble recovered by the Jets in the end zone.In his only start this season, McCown scored three first-half touchdowns and had the Browns ahead 20-0. He played with the injury and the Ravens came back to win 25-20.What he did way back then was a long time ago, Jackson said. Thats why I keep saying we got to work in practice and see where we are. Hes a veteran player who knows how to play, knows our system. Hopefully if hes out there it means hes the best guy standing right now.Jets receiver Brandon Marshall was a teammate of McCowns in 2013 when McCown had one of his better seasons as Jay Cutlers backup in Chicago.Josh is back? Marshall said on a conference call. Thats my guy, man. [Hes] just an awesome man. Awesome quarterback. Hes the example what you want your kid to be.In other injury news, receiver Terrelle Pryor?[hamstring] and cornerback Joe Haden?[groin] again were limited. ' ' '
