USA TODAY Sports predicts Oklahoma Sooners will go 10-2 in 2026

USA TODAY Sports analysts project the Oklahoma Sooners to finish the 2026 season with a 10-2 record, following a successful 2025 campaign that included a College Football Playoff appearance. Analysts suggest potential losses to rivals Texas and Georgia, though the team's schedule allows for a minimum of 8-4. Improving their running game has been a focus this offseason, which could enhance their competitiveness. If the forecasts hold true, Oklahoma would need to win four games to secure a national title.
