OOC games we don't really get into the Southeast much which would help for recruiting. We are at Tennessee in 2015, but then won't be back until @LSU in 2019. Sure teams like Ohio State and Nebraska are on the schedule going forward...but that isn't until 2016/2017 and 2021/2022 respectfully. Oh but hold on...there is Tulsa!
If we want any chance of getting more recruits from the Southeast, then we need to start looking at forgetting Tulsa and Louisiana Tech and more on teams in the actual Southeast.
However, why would people pick Oklahoma when a national title isn't a sure thing with the Big 12 anymore? SEC, Big Ten, and PAC 12 are more in a direct line to get there...heck ACC is getting itself righted as well. We've fallen to near the level of the AAC (Old Big East) but not quite...regardless, if Alabama, A&M, or LSU are targeting the same recruit as OU...chances are they won't show up in Norman.
