How many US LBM Coaches Poll top 25 teams will Oklahoma face in 2026?

The University of Oklahoma Sooners currently sit at a challenging position in the 2026 season. Following their recent 41-13 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, they are 2-2 overall (0-1 in the SEC). This disappointing start, particularly with road defeats in Ann Arbor and Athens, has the season on a precarious path. With a majority of the remaining games featuring ranked opponents according to the US LBM Coaches Poll, the Sooners' task becomes increasingly daunting.

Notably, they will face top-ranked teams including No. 1 Texas in the upcoming Red River Showdown, No. 8 Florida, No. 12 Ole Miss, No. 16 Mississippi State, and No. 25 Missouri. Each of these games presents significant challenges, especially considering the Sooners' offensive struggles this season, averaging just 12.3 points per game over the past three weeks.

As Oklahoma enters its bye week, the team faces numerous questions on offense and may not gain sufficient time to devise an effective plan before their next high-stakes matchup against Texas. Despite still receiving votes, the Sooners find themselves among the lower half of the poll, just outside the top 25 teams.
