Welcome to the “What’s Next?” Series. A key focus of our offseason content where we look at some of the most fascinating teams/storylines for 2026.
The 2025 season marked a turning point for the Oklahoma Sooners.
After several years of frustration, Brent Venables entered 2025 needing tangible progress. What followed was exactly that. Oklahoma surged late, strung together a defining winning streak, and punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff. Even though the Sooners let a 17–0 lead slip away in their semifinal loss, the broader takeaway was clear: OU was officially back in the national conversation.
Now the focus shifts to 2026. With momentum in place, a challenging early schedule looming, and key young talent returning on both sides of the ball, expectations in Norman are climbing once again.
