Aside from the arrival of Week 0 and the soft opening of the 2025 season -- which excludes Oklahoma for one more week -- the big news in college football this week was the announcement by the SEC to add one more game to an eight-game conference schedule that is already the most difficult in the land.
Oklahoma's first two seasons in the SEC have resulted in the Sooners being awarded arguably the most difficult schedule in the country. Now with a ninth conference game coming, OU's league schedule is almost guaranteed not to get any easier, which it would have next season given the current scheduling format.
