Las Vegas, TV and Radio Sports Talkers, and even casual fans see OU as a big underdog when they play LSU in the upcoming College Football Playoff game on December, 28th in Atlanta. But, Maybe we need to quit listening to "those guys" and pay attention to the Football Forcaster at the Atlanta Zoo. We introduce you to Yang Yang the Prognosticating Panda at Zoo Atlanta.
You can clearly see in this video that Yang Yang confidently picks the Sooners to beat the LSU Tigers in the Peach Bowl, before chomping on some bamboo. Why even play the game? Let's just put OU in the Championship game...right?
Not so fast. The Sooners are winless (0-2) when animals pick Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff. Flipper the dolphin at the Seaquarium in Miami picked OU to win the Orange Bowl over Clemson in 2015. Clemson won that game 37-17 (ouch!) Pierce the porcupine at the Miami Zoo picked OU over Alabama last year. OU lost that game 45-34. Maybe we'd be better off if Yang Yang picked LSU. Guess we'll have to watch the game and see. Boomer!
