8. Oklahoma Sooners
2024 SEC Record: 2-6
Oklahoma had about as bad of a first year in the SEC as Sooners fans could have ever imagined. The Sooners were only able to win two SEC games last season, which is actually quite impressive because they did destroy Alabama at home late in the season.
Oklahoma made out very well in the Transfer Portal this offseason as they snagged quarterback John Mateer and potentially the top No. 1 transfer running back in Jaydn Ott. So the talent Oklahoma was able to add this offseason shows that they mean business and will do anything they can to avoid having yet another bad season.
Oklahoma's tough schedule begins early in the year as the Michigan Wolverins come to town. A win in that game would be exactly what the Sooners need to help propel them to a much better 2025 campaign this year.
