Riley understands why there’s so much buzz surrounding his second-ranked Sooners. He just doesn’t care. Oklahoma’s high-powered offense returns Rattler and plenty of other talent from a 9-2 squad. That’s why the Sooners have the program’s highest preseason ranking since 2011. Now, it’s time to play.
