From injuries to regressions, the Big 12 has opened up for the Sooners. Their journey to win the league faces a key moment Saturday at Kansas.
. After the sport crossed the halfway mark and began Week 8 in earnest, however, it really felt like this past Saturday was filled with head-turning results everywhere you looked..

It's not the beginning any of the programs had in mind, but is a reminder that the transition to a higher level of play can be a long one.

Throw in preventing any players from speaking with the media after Saturday's game, and a promising season going off the rails is being compounded by the direction their head coach is providing.7. As one of the greatest coaches of all time in any sport, Nick Saban has churned out excellent coaching jobs over the years.
