Teddy Lehman criticizes SEC media for Oklahoma's preseason ranking

Teddy Lehman, a former linebacker for the Oklahoma Sooners, has expressed frustration with the recent preseason ranking placing Oklahoma seventh in the SEC. This ranking highlights a lack of confidence among media following the Sooners' first year in the conference, which ended with a 6-7 record. Despite returning to the College Football Playoff last season, many still doubt Oklahoma's place among top teams. Lehman believes that significant success is needed to restore faith in the program. He emphasized that winning the SEC or making another playoff appearance would shift perceptions about the Sooners' competitiveness.
