Projection: next four out
Oklahoma’s résumé is built on an offense that can overwhelm opponents and has delivered a signature neutral win over Marquette and a true road victory at Wake Forest, but that upside is offset by a lopsided trip to Gonzaga and a neutral setback to Nebraska that will stick with selection committees. The nonconference form shows the ability to blow teams out, yet defensive lapses and a handful of iffy neutral results leave questions about consistency away from home. Upcoming neutral tests against Arizona State and Oklahoma State and brutal road assignments at Kentucky and Vanderbilt are the kinds of opportunities that could validate the profile, while home dates with Alabama and Florida and other league matchups give the team multiple chances to add quality wins. How Oklahoma defends and performs in those marquee settings will determine whether the offense is enough to carry them or whether the damaging losses and uneven road play keep them on the wrong side of the cut line.
