Summary
- Sooners must win their next two games to secure playoff berth.
- Potential first-round playoff opponents include Notre Dame and Texas.
- OU could host a playoff game if ranked 5th-8th, potentially against rivals.
Oklahoma's path to the College Football Playoff is clear: win their next two games against Missouri and LSU. Ranked eighth, the Sooners are positioned to potentially host a first-round playoff game, a monumental event in program history. The possibility of facing historic rivals like Notre Dame or even Texas on their home turf presents thrilling, unprecedented matchups.
While the team focuses on immediate opponents, speculation is rampant about who they might face in the postseason. A first-round game against Notre Dame, a program with 13 national championships to OU's seven, would be a clash of titans. Another exciting prospect is a potential playoff game against Texas, a rivalry that hasn't been played on either campus since 1923.
These scenarios hinge on the Sooners securing victories and favorable outcomes in other rankings. The possibility of hosting such high-profile games underscores the significance of their upcoming must-win contests and the potential for a historic playoff run in Norman.
