With an 0-4 College Football Playoff record, Oklahoma has the talent to get there, but can they overcome the proverbial hump?
CBS Sports writer Ben Kercheval says the Sooners are close.
Oklahoma is on a list of six teams that are believed to have rosters that can take home a national title during the current four-year recruiting cycle. Other teams that are listed include Texas, Florida, Penn State, USC, and Texas A&M.
With a blue-chip ratio of 62%, the Sooners are closer to a national championship than some Oklahoma fans may think. Getting matchups against LSU, Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson in the College Football Playoff has not helped the Sooners chances. However, Oklahoma’s semifinal opponent is 1-3 in the national title game (2019 LSU).
With Spencer Rattler presumably taking the reigns this upcoming season with offensive weapons like Kennedy Brooks and Charleston Rambo and Alex Grinch in year two of a defensive renaissance, and a consistent development of highly ranked recruiting classes, the Sooner’s immediate future looks bright.
