SARAH PHIPPS/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesAfter being left out of the top 25 of the preseason Coaches Poll, Oklahoma has not only moved into the No. 12 spot in the Week 4 Coaches Poll, but now is projected to make the College Football Playoff by most major outlets.
It may still be early in the season with a wide array of marquee matchups on the immediate horizon, including eight by Oklahoma against SEC teams currently ranked in the top 25, but the even bigger news for Sooner fans at this early stage is that while the major outlets have Oklahoma in the 12-team CFP field, the same outlets have preseason No. 1 Texas on the outside looking in.
