Oklahoma tied for 11th in the SEC regular season and lost to 14-seed LSU in the first round of the SEC tournament. The Sooners were one of 12 SEC teams (out of 16) to be selected for the NCAA tournament. They won the Georgia Tech regional--sorry jacket3ree--and beat Kansas--sorry to my eldest sister and her husband--in the superregional. In the College World Series, they steamrolled their way to the finals by beating national 7-seed Alabama once and 8-seed Georgia twice.
On May 18, the SEC announced their all-conference team. OU did not have any players on the 18-member first team or second team, no players on the 12-member freshman team, and one player on the 10-member all-defensive team.
OU does have 10 transfers from four-year institutions and a number of JC/CC transfers. But this national championship is about as unlikely as I could imagine.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
