The Oklahoma Sooners finished the 2024 regular season at 6-6, after losing against LSU on Saturday night. It was a bitter end to a very difficult campaign.
As OU awaits their bowl destination, some teams will still be playing on conference championship game weekend. USA TODAY Sports staff writer Paul Myerberg took on the challenge of ranking all 134 FBS teams after Rivalry Week, and he has the Sooners as the No. 48 team in the country.
As a team that is a regular in the Top 25, typically the top 10, this is a far fall for the Sooners under [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag]. In fact, No. 48 might be a generous ranking from Myerberg, as Oklahoma is a .500 team in their first year in the [autotag]SEC[/autotag].
The Sooners fall between 7-5 Pittsburgh (No. 47) and 6-6 Nebraska (No. 49) on the 1-134 list. Their ranking is good for 13th in the SEC behind Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri, Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, Vanderbilt and Arkansas. In fact, only Auburn, Kentucky, and Mississippi State ranked behind the Sooners on Myerberg’s list from the SEC.
With a new offensive coordinator in tow and plenty of roster decisions to make, the road to the 2025 season has already begun in Norman.
