Projection: likely out

Oklahoma’s body of work shows clear upside and clear damage, which is why its standing looks tenuous. A neutral win over Marquette and a true road victory at Wake Forest are signature moments that show this team can beat quality opponents away from home. Those highlights are offset by a heavy defeat at Gonzaga and poor road performances that include an uncompetitive trip to Mississippi State and conference setbacks at Texas A&M and South Carolina. The offense can pour in points but the defense has surrendered lopsided outcomes, turning winnable games into losses and eroding the resume. The remaining slate offers realistic chances to repair the profile, with a home rematch against Missouri and a home test with Texas A&M presenting the clearest opportunities, while trips to Kentucky and Tennessee are stiff hurdles. Unless Oklahoma picks up multiple impactful road or neutral wins in those spots the bad losses will carry more weight than the signature victories.
