No. 4 Oklahoma:
The Sooners were, by some measures, the best offensive line in the conference last year. However, they lost more linemen to the NFL Draft (Daryl Williams, Round 4; Tyrus Thompson, Round 7) than any other Big 12 team, and had an additional two linemen sign as UFA’s (Adam Shead and Dionte Savage). The Sooners retain their center, Ty Darlington, along with six-game starter Nila Kasitati. The biggest unknown will be the right tackle position, where Derek Farniok (yes, Tom Farniok’s brother) looks to gain just the second start of his career, and his first since 2012.
