Kelley Ford's KFord Ratings projected the win total that every team needs to enter the discussion of being an at-large bid into the College Football Playoff in 2025, and based on this, the Oklahoma Sooners can actually afford to slip up more than you might think thanks to a loaded schedule.
KFord Ratings does not guarantee CFP appearances with this win total, but to legitimately be considered in December, the Sooners need to notch at least nine wins, according to KFord Ratings. That would hypothetically give the Sooners three losses to give while needing a 9-3 record.
OU joined fellow SEC programs Texas, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, South Carolina and Auburn that also need to reach that threshold.
