Oklahoma Sooners face toughest 2025 college football schedule

The Oklahoma Sooners are navigating a challenging start to their inaugural Southeastern Conference (SEC) season, currently holding a 3-4 record with eight games remaining. Despite facing tough competition, including opponents averaging a NET ranking of 41, Oklahoma has secured three wins against ranked teams and is looking to improve their performance against No. 7 LSU. Following this matchup, their schedule eases significantly, with only three of the remaining games against teams ranked in the top 57. Meanwhile, the Sooners' 2025 schedule is projected to be one of the toughest in college football, with eight ranked opponents including a significant nonconference game against Michigan. The team's performance in this critical season is under scrutiny as they aim to exceed last year's disappointing 6-7 record. Coach Brent Venables will need to rally his players to meet expectations and secure a more favorable outcome in the upcoming season.
