Projection: likely out
Oklahoma’s profile features a high‑octane offense that led to blowout wins at home and resume‑boosting victories away at Wake Forest and at a neutral site against Marquette, but those highs are countered by damaging setbacks at Gonzaga and at a neutral Nebraska that exposed defensive fragility. Signature wins like the neutral‑site triumph over Oklahoma State show the ceiling, while routine wins over low‑major opponents do little to offset losses away from home. With a conference gauntlet that includes tough road trips to Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Tennessee plus important home dates against Texas, Arkansas and Alabama, the next stretch is where the Sooners can either collect the necessary quality wins to quiet doubts or suffer more poor results in hostile venues that will keep their resume on shaky ground.
