Oklahoma freshman quarterback Caleb Williams record-breaking performance against Texas Tech earned him national honors as the Davey O’Brien Quarterback of the Week. Williams, who replaced Spencer Rattler, a preseason All-American and preseason favorite to win the 2021 Heisman Trophy, in the first half of the Texas game, was also named the Big 12 Offensive Player […]
Oklahoma basketball fans got their first look Monday night at what will be a virtually all-new Sooner team this season in a striking shooting exhibition and decisive win over Rogers State. The Sooners nearly doubled the score in the exhibition contest against the Rogers State Hillcats, an NCAA Division II program. The 106-57 victory served […]
Hold that thought, Oklahoma football fans. I know what you’re all thinking. One of the most surprising reveals in the initial CFP rankings for 2021 was the positioning of the Oklahoma in the No. 8 slot. And that wasn’t the only surprising revelation. Click here to see the complete Week 10 CFP rankings. It’s easy […]
On Tuesday night, the College Football Playoff Committee unveiled its opening rankings of the 2021 season, and the Oklahoma Sooners (9-0, 6-0) checked in at No. 8. Given how the past nine weeks have played out on the field, it’s a frustrating yet somewhat understandable position to be in for a team that has struggled to win convincingly through the majority of its games. However, three quality opponents remain on the schedule, with the possibility of a marquee rematch in the Big 12 Championship Game. Nevertheless, going forward, the mission for OU couldn’t be more simple: win, and you’re in.

It should be no surprise to see Georgia atop the CFP poll, especially considering how dominant the Bulldogs have looked from a defensive standpoint. Where things can get interesting is if both UGA and Alabama run the table through the regular season, then face off in the SEC Championship Game. A win for Kirby Smart’s Dawgs could knock out Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide, but a win for ‘Bama would likely result in both SEC squads remaining in the final top four, leaving little room for the rest of the national contenders.
Cincinnati is looking to become the first Group of Five team to crash the CFP party since the playoff was introduced in 2014, but simply winning out may not be enough for the Bearcats to finish among the top four with Georgia, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State and Michigan all squarely in contention with five weekends to go.
As long as Baylor can get past the Gary Patterson-less TCU Horned Frogs this Saturday, OU’s trip to Waco on Nov. 13 should be a matchup between top 12 teams. Lincoln Riley and his unbeaten Sooners will have an opportunity to make a major statement on the road against Dave Aranda’s impressive Bears.
Before the 2021 Oklahoma football season, Spencer Rattler was the lead favorite to win the Heisman. After the Sooners’ disappointing play through five games and the opening half against Texas, Lincoln Riley elected to change things up and gave true freshman Caleb Williams the keys to the offense. Rarely do you see a preseason All-American […]
With a 9-0 record and holding down the No. 4 spot in the current national rankings, it would appear Oklahoma football is in good position to make a legitimate run at the 2021 College Football Playoff. A lot can happen over the next five weeks, though, and as far as the CFP selection committee is […]
