Feel free to look up Texas recruiting rankings and how we've done against them if you think that's the end all be all. Furthermore, feel free to look up Iowa's recruiting rankings and see how they fared against Ohio St last year.OSU has out recruited OU almost every single year since 2014.
Average recruiting ranking 2014-2018
OSU - 6.2
OU - 9.6

TCU - 34.6
If we couldn't figure out OU last year, and frankly almost every year since we got in the big 12, OSU has even better and more talented players. Yes, Baker Mayfield could be the outlier but OSU also has a heisman quality QB who is probably better than Mayfield, definitely more talented.
Sure, we can catch lightning in a bottle and win this game but it's hard to be overly optimistic comparing them to the closest/most similar team we have played against OU.
Honestly, though, if you're going to use recruiting rankings to make your judgments about how good teams are then that's good for you but none of that is going to make any difference Saturday at 7. We might as well be getting into an in depth discussion about whether the OSU offensive line outweighs our d line by 36 lbs or 39 lbs.
