Projected seed: 9

That standing matches a résumé that pairs high-end road and neutral victories with an uneven stretch against quality conference foes. Oklahoma has signature neutral-site wins over Marquette and Oklahoma State and eye-opening road triumphs at Texas, Vanderbilt and LSU that show it can win away from Norman, but the résumé is blunted by heavy defeats at Tennessee and Mississippi State, a home setback to Florida and multiple losses to elite conference opponents such as Kentucky and Arkansas. In the selection picture those strong road and neutral results supply the upside while the damaging setbacks create a clear weakness, so avoiding further bad losses and replicating those best road and neutral performances is the clearest path to moving up.
