Sometime in the future, Oklahoma will move from the Big 12 Conference to the SEC. Although for 2020, the Sooners are stuck in a Big 12 Conference. OU has dominated the Big 12 with six consecutive championships. For the 2021 campaign, Oklahoma is favored to win its seventh straight Big 12 championship. And with a vastly improved defense, the Sooners are a College Football betting favorite for the College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, Tulane is in its most successful period of the modern era. But the Green Wave was supposed to host Oklahoma before Hurricane Ida struck.

Tulane Green Wave at Oklahoma Sooners SBG Odds Overview
This game was moved from Tulane to Oklahoma because Hurricane Ida hit the New Orleans area last week. Oklahoma already had plenty of sportsbook support as a national power. Now that should be enhanced even more with the game at OU.
Tulane Green Wave Team Overview
Head coach Willie Fritz has led Tulane to three consecutive bowl games. Tulane should have one of the best offenses in the country for 2021. Last year the Green Wave averaged almost 35 points per game. New play-caller Chip Long inherits a loaded and experienced lineup.
Namely quarterback Michael Pratt is one of the top quarterbacks in the American Athletic Conference. Supplementing Pratt is the outstanding running back tandem of Cameron Carroll and Tyjae Spears. Defensively the Green Wave should be improved as well. In like manner to the offense, Chris Hampton is the new play-caller for the defense.
Oklahoma Sooners Team Overview
Head coach Lincoln Riley enters his fifth season at Oklahoma. In sum, Riley went 12-2 in his first three seasons. And then 9-2 in the pandemic shortened 2020 campaign. Riley has won the Big 12 Conference championship in all four of his seasons on the job. Further, in his first three years at OU, Riley led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff. Also, three different Oklahoma quarterbacks were invited to the Heisman Trophy presentation. Two of those quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, won the Heisman.
Sophomore quarterback Spencer Rattler stands an excellent chance to become the fourth Oklahoma Quarterback to get a Heisman Trophy presentation invite. Rattler has proven to be a quick study with unlimited skills.
Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch took over a unit that was rendered defenseless and has transformed it into an asset.
