Paul Myerberg and Ramon Padilla projected Oklahoma to finish 10-2 during the 2026 regular season. The Sooners went 10-2 and reached the College Football Playoff in 2025, then entered the new season at No. 7 in a national ranking of 138 teams. The analysts did not identify which games Oklahoma would lose. Oklahoma has not gone undefeated in the regular season since 2004, though an unbeaten season remains possible. A return to the playoff would give the Sooners another chance to compete for a national title.
