OZ to AA question/advice

Arriving 08:30 in mid-Feb (Saturday) from ICN on OZ forward economy cabin, maybe biz) connecting to AA (first class) domestic at 10:15. Separate tickets. I have Global Entry. I will have checked luggage (hopefully interlined to final destination but I know I need to clear customs and re-check).

Is this doable, assuming everything is on time? Last time I arrived in Chicago (from Europe) I was at my UA gate in under an hour.

Flightstats isn't very encouraging. In Dec and Jan the on-time percentage for OZ236 was only 31% with an average delay of 25 minutes. My AA ticket allows for same day standby which is why I bought it rather than a later flight. But maybe I should switch now and just take the six hour transit instead of 1:45. Thoughts appreciated.
