Updated ESPN Football Power Index loves the Oklahoma Sooners after win over Tulsa

After their win over Tulsa, the Oklahoma Sooners got a big bump in the ESPN Football Power Index.

There’s a long way to go yet in the 2023 season, but it couldn’t have started any better for the Oklahoma Sooners in nonconference play. They’ve outscored their opponents 118 to 25 through three games and are one of the best teams in the nation on both sides of the football.

That’s why they keep moving up in the polls, and the computers are looking at the Sooners favorably. It’s just about who they’ve beaten but how they’ve done it.

Here’s a look at how ESPN’s Football Power Index ranks the Big 12 and their odds to win the conference and contend for the College Football Playoff.
