Where do Oklahoma Football’s final three opponents Missouri, Alabama, and LSU rank in latest US LBM Coaches Poll after week 10?
The Oklahoma Sooners sit at 5-4 on the season with three games to go. Three games to secure bowl eligibility. Three games to create some positive momentum heading into the offseason. Three games to find out what your squad is made of.
Coming off their 59-14 win over Maine, the Sooners will close the season with games at Missouri, home against Alabama following a bye, and at LSU to close this season.
It was a difficult stretch of games when the schedule was released months ago and it looks even more challenging given the Sooners issues, especially on offense.
Oklahoma will head on the road to take on Missouri this week. The Tigers are coming off a bye week and land at No. 22 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll. They may be without starting quarterback Brady Cook, who injured his throwing hand in Mizzou’s loss to Alabama last Saturday. If Cook can’t play, Eli Drinkwitz will be forced to roll with Drew Pyne.
In five appearances this season, Pyne has completed 63.6% of his passes for 248 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. All three interceptions came last week against the Crimson Tide in relief.
The Sooners will welcome the Crimson Tide to Norman on Nov. 23. Alabama is still fighting for a playoff spot despite losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee. They come in at No. 11 in the nation, moving up three spots in the latest coaches poll.
The LSU Tigers also moved up three spots in the poll to No. 13. They were on a bye this week and will take on Alabama in Baton Rouge this week in a key SEC battle.
Elsewhere in the poll, the Oregon Ducks remained No. 1 in the nation, securing 53 of a possible 54 first-place votes. Georgia was No. 2, followed by Ohio State, Miami, and Texas to round out the top five.

Coach Mike Elko gives an impassioned halftime speech before A&M’s 31-6 second-half run vs. LSU
Head coach Mike Elko is very aware of this new era of never-ending recruiting and NIL. A big part of that is the team’s media department, which captures iconic moments from this season for all of us to view.
During the newest episode of 12th Man Production’s “The Pulse,” Texas A&M’s media team provided footage of head coach Mike Elko’s now memorable halftime speech before the Aggies embarked on a 31-6 second-half run against LSU.
Week 9’s primetime matchup against LSU did not start off as Texas A&M wanted after trailing 17-7 heading into the locker room at halftime. After the position meetings concluded, Mike Elko brought the team together to set the tone for the second half. What really caught my eye was at the end of the speech when he emphasized the need to focus on the task and, and emphasis, the team’s strengths.
A lot of good moments from The Pulse tonight, but the halftime speech Mike Elko gave to his team down 17-7 stood out. pic.twitter.com/ajoRkdWssw
The team ran back onto the field with a revitalized mentality, and the defense made a few big plays, giving the Aggies the ball in LSU’s red zone. That’s when Elko switched to redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed, who scored a rushing touchdown on the very next play, causing Kyle Field to erupt.
Elko keeps checking off challenges and building something that will last for years in Aggieland.

This week’s practice will determine who starts against South Carolina next Saturday night
Texas A&M’s (7-1, 5-0 SEC) Week 9 home win over the LSU Tigers was a surprise to many, especially after the Aggies trailed 17-7 going into halftime before head coach Mike Elko made the change at quarterback to redshirt freshman Marcel Reed.
Unprepared for the change, Reed and OC Collin Klein bullied the Tiger defense into submission on the ground, as the backup duel-threat ran for three touchdowns and led the Aggies to five consecutive scoring drives in the second half.
Weigman’s bad day in the pocket included just six completions on 18 attempts, which led Elko to insert Reed to find some offensive energy, which obviously worked.
However, don’t let this performance fool you into thinking he won’t see the field again.
Returning to Texas A&M’s Week 6 41-10 win over Missouri, Weigman’s solid week of practice and increased confidence led to his best game of the season, completing 18/22 for 276 yards.
It’s fair to note that A&M’s offensive line was much better in pass protection than Saturday’s performance, as Weigman was pressured on 54% of his dropbacks against the Tigers.
For those unaware of Weigman and Reed’s close relationship, it’s clear that both players are always each other’s biggest cheerleaders, as Reed noted after the game:
“He said, ‘Let’s go. You got it.’ We are brothers and teammates. I have his back. He has mine.”
Reed went 3-0 as the starter before Weigman regained the job. His accuracy issues in the passing game are a noted weakness. At the same time, despite his recent performance, Weigman is still seen as the better passer. So, where does Elko go from here after Saturday’s result? It’s likely a similar pathway to the week leading up to the Missouri game.
Here’s the scenario moving forward: If Reed is named the starter early in the week, defenses will be able to prepare for OC Collin Klein’s QB run scheme that frustrated the Tigers’ defense. Even if he is the choice, keeping things under wraps while giving Weigman the chance to earn the job in practice is the smartest route.
Again, knowing if good Weigman or bad Weigman will show up has been the primary issue, but the pass protection needs to improve to allow him to go through his progressions if we’re ever going to see improvement.
At the same time, it’s also fair to see if Reed has improved as a passer, providing a brief glimpse against LSU after hitting junior WR Noah Thomas for a 50-plus yard completion in the 4th quarter.
While continuity at the quarterback position is key for most teams, this system has worked so far.
Texas A&M will travel to Columbia to face South Carolina on Saturday, Nov. 2nd at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on either ABC or ESPN+.

Several Texas A&M players earned high PFF scores, including quarterback Marcel Reed and cornerback BJ Mayes
Texas A&M (7-1, 5-0 SEC) is now the 10th-ranked team in the country after defeating LSU (6-2, 3-1 SEC) 38-23 behind a 31-6 second-half run, as Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed entered the game, immediately utilizing his legs and scoring three rushing touchdowns.
While the Aggies certainly have plenty to clean up after falling behind 17-7, most of the focus has been on head coach Mike Elko, and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s second-half adjustments have been a sight for sore eyes for every Aggie fan scarred by former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s lack of changes when in-game issues occurred.
However, the spotlight will be on quarterback Conner Weigman, who was benched for Marcel Reed after completing just six passes in the first half. The redshirt sophomore is expected to rebound in practice, leading to another interesting decision for Mike Elko ahead of Texas A&M’s Week 10 road game vs. South Carolina.
After the game, Pro Football Focus released the latest grades from the matchup. Here are the most notable grades on both sides of the ball for every Texas A&M contributor:
Offense:
Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed unsurprisingly earned the highest offensive grade (91.5) in just 25 snaps. Despite completing just two snaps, Reed earned the 10th-highest passing grade (88.3) on the weekend.
Conner Weigman, who attempted just 18 pass attempts, was pressured on 54.2% of his dropbacks while receiving a 45.7 offensive grade and 47.0 passing grade.
Across the offensive line, as you can see from Weigman’s pressure percentage, was anemic at best. However, the run-blocking scores were much better, as seven O-linemen earned a grade above 50, and the Aggies racked up 246 rushing yards. Starting left guard Chase Bisontis’s replacement, sophomore TJ Shanahan, earned the lowest offensive grade (44.2), including a 17.7 pass-blocking mark.
Defense:
Starting MLB Taurean York (85.5) and cornerback BJ Mayes (88.6) earned the highest defensive grades, while defensive end Nic Scourton (73.1) led the team with six hurries and one of two Aggies sacks, earning the highest pass-rush grade (71.3). Sophomore defensive lineman DJ Hicks earned the third-highest defensive grade (82.0) and the highest run defense grade (79.9).
York (80.9) and Mayes (89.7) were elite in coverage, allowing just 32 yards through the air. Overall, the defense played one of its best games despite the secondary’s poor performance in the first half.
Texas A&M will travel to Columbia to face South Carolina on Saturday, Nov. 2nd, at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on either ABC or ESPN+

The newest ESPN FPI rankings have Texas A&M up two spots after defeating LSU
Texas A&M (7-1, 5-0 SEC) earned its most significant win of the season against the visiting LSU Tigers on Saturday night, as the Aggies went on a memorable 31-6 run in the second half after trailing 17-7 at halftime.
Led by Texas A&M’s change at quarterback in the second half, backup signal-caller Marcel Reed looked the part on the ground, rushing for three touchdowns. At the same time, LSU’s defense failed to adjust, allowing the Aggies ground game to bully the Tigers into submission.
Defensively, the Aggies secondary clamped up after allowing several chunk gains through the air in the first half, as senior cornerback BJ Mayes notched two interceptions in the third quarter, while Texas A&M’s pass rush recorded two late sacks.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Texas A&M rose to No. 12 after defeating LSU with a 16.7 FPI rating, the sixth-highest among SEC teams. The Aggies are projected to win 9.6 games and have a 3.5% chance of winning out. Sitting at 7-1 and 5-0, A&M currently has a 46.6% chance to make the playoffs and a 6.0% chance to make the National Championship game.
SEC team in FPI
The top-ranked SEC teams in the upper echelon of the rankings include the Texas Longhorns (25.7), followed by Alabama (3rd, 25.0), Georgia (4th, 22.9), Tennesee (21.5) at sixth, and the Ole Miss Rebels ( 22.4) in 7th place.
LSU (16.3) dropped two spots after losing to Texas A&M, and the Florida Gators (10.9) dropped one spot to 23rd during their bye week. Here are the rest of the SEC teams in the rankings:
South Carolina (21st, 11.5)
Missouri (24th, 10.6)
Arkansas (25th 10.4)

Texas A&M deservedily rises to No. 10 in the newest AP Top 25 Poll
Texas A&M (7-1, 5-0 SEC) earned a statement win over the LSU Tigers in primetime in front of over 108,000 in Kyle Field, as the Aggies officially look like a College Football Playoff contender while staying in sole possession of first place in the SEC standings.
Behind the insertion of backup quarterback Marcel Reed, who ran for three touchdowns and led the Aggies to five consecutive scoring drives in the second half, Texas A&M’s rushing attack continues to break down defenses late.
However, second-half defensive adjustments were even more impressive, especially in the secondary after cornerback BJ Mayes recorded the first of his two interceptions on the night, leading to Reed’s first touchdown that started the Aggies’ 31-6 second-half run.
While the Aggies left Kyle Field elated after what looked like a season-defining win, there’s still plenty to fix, as head coach Mike Elko noted during the post-game press conference.
Texas ‘ close win over Vanderbilt was unimpressive around the rest of the country, including the SEC, while Ohio State avoided a home loss to Nebraska in the early afternoon window.
Several top teams were on their bye weeks, while LSU was the only top-10-ranked team to lose on Saturday.
In the latest AP Top 25 Poll, Texas A&M moved four spots to No. 10. Here are the rest of the updated rankings:

After week 9, where do Oklahoma’s remaining opponents rank in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll?
The road to bowl eligibility for the Oklahoma Sooners won’t be a smooth ride. Oklahoma will play FCS program Maine this week. Then they go on the road again to begin a four-week stretch against three top 25 programs in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 9.
Those teams aren’t all in the top 10 like they were several weeks ago, but the Sooners will face challenges over the final month of the season when they take on the Missouri Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and LSU Tigers.
If the Sooners want to reach a bowl game, they’ll have to take care of business against a tough Maine team and then upset one of the three SEC teams remaining on the schedule.
That doesn’t look as daunting as it did a couple of weeks ago. Missouri lost 34-0 to Alabama on Saturday. It’s the second time they’ve been blown out by a ranked SEC team after suffering a huge loss to Texas A&M a few weeks ago. But at home, the Tigers will pose a challenge, especially if Brady Cook is available. Cook left in the first half yesterday after suffering a hand injury. After Missouri’s loss to Alabama, the Tigers fell to No. 23 in the nation.
Alabama hasn’t been the Alabama of old in 2024, but they were much better against Missouri. The Sooners will have an upset on their mind when they welcome the Crimson Tide to town after their second bye week. Alabama moved up one spot to No. 14 after beating Missouri.
LSU has a very good offense, but the defense is still a work in progress. They were outscored 31-6 in the second half by Texas A&M, ending the Tigers six-game winning streak. LSU fell to No. 16 in the nation after the loss.
Elsewhere in the US LBM Coaches Poll, the Oregon Ducks took home 53 of the possible 54 first-place votes in the poll. The Ducks earned an emphatic 38-9 win over Illinois. [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] threw for 291 yards and had four total touchdowns in the win. Georgia is still the No. 2 after their bye week, followed by Penn State, Ohio State, and the Miami Hurricanes to round out the top five.
