NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma will begin the 2011
season as the No. 1 team in the nation according to the
preseason Coaches' Poll released Thursday morning (August 4) by
USA Today.
Five teams Oklahoma will face during the regular season are
ranked in the Top 25 including Florida State (5), Oklahoma State
(8), Texas A&M (9), Missouri (21) and Texas (24). The Sooners
travel to Tallahassee to face the Seminoles in what could be an
early-season matchup between top five teams on Saturday, Sept.
17.
"It's an honor to be ranked No. 1 any time, but we understand
that the preseason ranking means very little compared with what
it will mean months from now," said Coach Stoops.
"Like a lot of other teams, we face the challenge of preparing
for a difficult schedule. Our aspirations are clear in that we
want to compete for the national championship, and we're
flattered to be considered by others as a program that has an
opportunity to reach that goal."
Oklahoma begins the 2011 season in Norman on September 3 when
the Sooners host Tulsa at 7 p.m. Visit Oklahoma Preseason
