Projection: next four out

Oklahoma's resume presents a mixed bag that puts them on the outside looking in. Their strong victories over teams like Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan showcase their capability against quality opponents, while losses to top-tier teams like Alabama and Tennessee expose inconsistency, particularly in high-pressure situations. The defense is a significant concern—ranked poorly, it has struggled against high-octane offenses, as evidenced by the blowout losses to Alabama and Auburn. However, they have opportunities ahead, including crucial matchups against lesser-ranked teams that could bolster their standing if they perform well. Improving defensive intensity and securing wins in must-win scenarios will be vital for changing their trajectory as the season progresses.
