The Oklahoma Sooners will face six teams ranked in the preseason AP top 25. Where did OU land?
The preseason AP Top 25 rankings were announced on Monday, placing the Oklahoma Sooners in 10th position. This ranking is just one spot behind their previous preseason standing, which was derived from the US LBM Coaches Poll released on August 4th. Among the Southeastern Conference teams, Oklahoma joins five others ranked in the top 10, alongside nine SEC representatives in the top 25.
Ohio State claimed the top spot, garnering 40 out of the 63 first-place votes. Close behind was Oregon, followed by Georgia, Notre Dame, and Texas. Defending national champions Indiana secured eight first-place votes but finished in sixth place. The Sooners will face six teams ranked in the top 25 from the preseason AP Poll during the upcoming season, including Florida, who ranked 27th with the second-highest vote count.
They are scheduled to travel to Michigan in Week 2 and Georgia in Week 4, with Texas awaiting them in Week 6. The team's early-season performance against these top 16 opponents will be crucial in determining the success of their season.
