CBS Sports' Bud Elliott invented a talent metric to measure national championship chances that's been perfect so far, and the Oklahoma Sooners are one of 18 teams deemed serious contenders for 2025.
The Sooners had the ninth-highest percentage at 70% based on CBS Sports' Blue-Chip Ratio, which measures the percentage of how many four- and five-star recruits made up a program's last four recruiting cycles based on the 247Sports Composite. For the first time ever, all four measured cycles happened under Brent Venables at OU.

Elliott is all in that it's about the Jimmys and Joes, and his formula hasn't failed him yet in 14 seasons.
