This guy saw OU's Big 12 title before anyone else

Eleven months ago, Bleacher Report correspondent Allen Kenney tossed out 10 predictions for Big 12 football in 2010. Some of them – he had Larry Fedora replacing a fired Mike Gundy at the end of the season – were as accurate as Garrett Gilbert in a collapsing pocket.

When it came to Oklahoma, however, Kenney pretty much pegged it.

He said the Sooners would fall at Texas A&M (on a Jerrod Johnson quarterback draw in the final two minutes, but I'm not going to hold that against him).

He said the Sooners would "stop the bleeding in the Red River Shootout." Got it.

And he said Bob Stoops would win his seventh Big 12 championship (over Kansas State, but hey…) to "set up the Sooners for a possible national championship run in 2011."

Seems Kenney nailed his first prediction for '11 as well.

Kenney is a very entertaining writer too. I enjoy reading most of his material.

The predictions do make for great entertainment.

I read his stuff quite a bit and he seems to be on point most of the time and an unbiased opinion.

One of the keys to winning a national championship is quality depth at every position and the Sooners have that! It will be a great year if they keep a workhorse attitude. Boomer!
