The Oklahoma Sooners 2024 season begins in 22 days when they take on the Temple Owls. There are issues to work out before the Sooners take the field.
Who starts along the offensive line? How the wide receivers will be deployed?
This is a talented roster that has the personnel to answer questions by Week 1 or, if need be, by Week 4 when they welcome Tennessee to Norman. As college football takes on a whole new look due to conference realignment, this season may be the most anticipated in the last 30 years.
Joel Klatt, an analyst for Fox Sports, released his preseason top 25, and the Oklahoma Sooners came in at No. 15.

Oddly, the Oklahoma Sooners come in one spot behind the USC Trojans. The Fox Sports analyst leans into the idea that the defensive coaching changes will be enough to make up for the loss of [autotag]Caleb Williams[/autotag]. Time will tell, but I’d be surprised if USC finishes this season ranked higher than the Oklahoma Sooners.
Among SEC schools, however, the Sooners are the sixth highest-ranked SEC team. OU comes in behind the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, Ole Miss Rebels, Alabama Crimson Tide and Missouri Tigers. Klatt sees the Sooners a bit more favorably than the SEC media and the US LBM Coaches Poll. Both had OU eighth among SEC schools.
