The power and toughness of the SEC was on full display through the opening two weeks of the 2025 college football season, and the Oklahoma Sooners formally joined the party.
The Sooners showed their own power and resolve, delivering a 24-13 statement win over then-No. 15 Michigan on Saturday, one of just four games by SEC teams against ranked teams so far this season. Oklahoma and LSU (over then-No. 4 Clemson to open the season) were both victors in their top-25 matchups.
Florida State, No. 10 this week in the AP Top 25, was not ranked when the Seminoles defeated Alabama in Week 1, but obviously should have been given how they've looked so far.
