I expect a spike in turnovers, and each college turnover is worth 3.75 points.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A solid lead RB is here, along with a highly rated freshman (Tatum) that I will be charting.&nbsp; The OL was decimated, and nothing seems to be left.&nbsp; The OG\u2019s have much promise, with the center having plenty of experience at SMU.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RT is raw, with the LT coming from Florida\/USC (20 starts).&nbsp; I expect some growing pains, especially blocking for a raw QB.&nbsp; The defensive #\u2019s were fine last year, although points allowed (26.6) in the Big 12 showed up a bit high.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a potential coordinator upgrade, even though the new guys (Co-DC\u2019s) are young.&nbsp; The top six tacklers return.&nbsp; The switch to the SEC could impact some of the stats.&nbsp; The senior PK was a bit erratic. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Oklahoma Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8-4 as a ceiling, and 7-5 the more likely result?&nbsp;
