Sam Bradford likely came back to college for a multitude of reasons. He likely enjoys his teammates, he probably enjoys being the king on campus, perhaps he even enjoys going to class. Maybe he didn't think he was quite ready for the NFL, or that he didn't want to be a Lion, and that another year of seasoning would treat him well. Bradford also likely had thoughts of a potential back to back Heisman spinning in his head. All of these were likely contributing factors to his decision to return to school but nothing was more of a factor than his desire to do what he could not last season, win the BCS Championship game. Now after just 5 weeks of college football and just 4 games for Oklahoma that opportunity is shattered.With that out of the way, let's move on to the preliminary Top 25 rankings, where Oklahoma is nowhere to be found.
