Oklahoma is basically the Republican equivalent to Massachusetts. Pretty much every reasonable district is going to be red, granted, the fifth district could easily be made competitive (it was somewhat competitive before redistricting), but I would still put Oklahoma in the 'gerrymandered by default' camp, unlike Utah.
