The Oklahoma Sooners are heavy favorites to win the Big 12 title this campaign.

As we get ready for the 2020 college football campaign, assuming there is one of course, fans everywhere have their eyes on the battle set to take place for Big 12 supremacy. The question everyone has is whether or not someone will be able to dethrone the Oklahoma Sooners.

Leading up to the season, head coach Lincoln Riley and his gridiron warriors are expected to have another big year, with young quarterback Spencer Rattler set to take over the offense for quarterback Jalen Hurts.

And before a single snap is taken place, the oddsmakers strongly believe the Sooners will take home the Big 12 title.

Will Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler live up to the hype in 2020?

Per Sports Betting Dime, the Sooners have -110 odds to bring home another conference championship. Which teams are their main competition, you ask? Texas has +300 odds, while Oklahoma State checks in at +400.

Riley’s men are coming off a remarkable 2019 season, where they won the Big 12 and booked a trip to the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately for them, they met eventual national champs LSU in the Peach Bowl and suffered a 63-28 defeat.

Looking ahead to this fall, Oklahoma will return plenty of key starters. The list includes standout center Creed Humphrey, safety Dellarrin Turner-Yell, wide receiver Jaden Haselwood and many others. Also, don’t forget about Rattler.

The redshirt freshman is a former 5-star recruit and 2019’s No. 1 pro-style quarterback. Despite his youth, he was able to study behind Hurts last season and Riley has spoken glowingly about him for months now. He’ll be the starter in 2020 and is considered a dark-horse candidate to win the Heisman Trophy. Will he live up to the hype?

Oklahoma fans are fired up for the season to arrive and can’t wait to see what Rattler can do. Let’s see if they’ll be able to deliver a Big 12 title.
