The Oklahoma Sooners' 2026 football schedule is loaded, and the Foxx Den crew is going game by game to predict every win and loss. Can OU win in the Big House against Michigan? Can Brent Venables and the Sooners survive road trips to Georgia and Florida? And what happens when Oklahoma and Texas meet again in the Red River Rivalry?We break down the entire Oklahoma football schedule, including UTEP, Michigan, New Mexico, Georgia, Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Missouri. The crew also debates SEC vs. Big Ten football, Oklahoma's College Football Playoff chances, whether 9-3 would be good enough, and just how high the Sooners' ceiling can be in 2026. The episode specifically revolves around different final-record predictions—including 8-4, 9-3 and 10-2 scenarios. ⏱️ EPISODE BREAKDOWN00:36 — OU's 2026 schedule begins01:39 — UTEP season opener02:27 — Oklahoma at Michigan08:04 — SEC vs. Big Ten debate09:43 — New Mexico trap game?10:35 — Oklahoma at Georgia11:46 — Red River Rivalry vs. Texas15:52 — Where will OU stand after five games?16:45 — Kentucky trap-game debate18:48 — Mississippi State19:16 — South Carolina20:48 — Oklahoma goes to The Swamp22:02 — Ole Miss could be dangerous24:20 — Texas A&M comes to Norman26:22 — Oklahoma at Missouri27:39 — Is 9-3 good enough for OU?28:18 — What if OU-Texas is undefeated vs. undefeated?29:47 — Should Red River ever move?

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our three-part 2026 SEC preview with deep dives on Georgia, Vanderbilt, Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. Georgia enters the season with perhaps the cleanest case of any contender in the conference, while Texas has all the talent to make a run at the SEC title but also enough lingering questions, plus a brutal schedule, to make us hesitate. How much separates the league’s best teams, and which concerns are worth taking seriously? We also dig into the growing Oklahoma hype and whether even marginal offensive improvement could make the Sooners significantly more dangerous, the latest attempt to build a functional offense around LaNorris Sellers at South Carolina, and a new era at Kentucky with Will Stein taking over for Mark Stoops. Vanderbilt begins life after Diego Pavia, while Tennessee forces us to reconsider whether we’ve been overlooking a roster that may be much closer to contention than we initially thought. And then there’s Florida. Ty goes all in on Jon Sumrall, a loaded Gators defense and a roster he believes is capable of making real noise in the SEC. Plus: Gunner Stockton’s continued toughness, buff John Mateer, Forrest Gump back in the SEC, Dan's Tennessee marriage, Simone Biles playing linebacker, and Jon Sumrall’s potential for postgame hijinks.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT explains why sleeping on Alabama and Kalen DeBoer could backfire, and breaks down how Oklahoma's elite defense gives the Sooners a legitimate path to winning the SEC. JT also discusses why Arthur Smith could fix Ohio State's biggest offensive weakness, how Miami may have gotten even better despite losing major NFL talent, and whether Auburn deserves more respect alongside Florida as a potential Year 1 breakout under Alex Golesh. Plus, JT explains why Gary Patterson could be the missing piece that finally gives Lincoln Riley and USC the defensive credibility needed to make the College Football Playoff. Can Alabama silence its doubters, Oklahoma conquer the SEC, Miami finish its national championship run, and USC finally break through?

Which developments are legitimate? Who is separating himself? And what could it all mean for Oklahoma when the Sooners begin another SEC grind? There's plenty of tea in this episode.

SEC Network analyst and former Alabama Crimson Tide and NFL standout Roman Harper joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation about Alabama football, Oklahoma football, NFL training camp life and more. Roman addresses his recent criticism of the time of day Kalen DeBoer chooses to hold Alabama practices and explains why practice conditions can matter when building a tough, championship-caliber football team. Is Alabama physical and mentally tough enough under DeBoer to compete for an SEC Championship and return to the College Football Playoff? Harper also breaks down Alabama's loaded secondary and the elite defensive backs who could make the Crimson Tide defense one of the best units in college football. Plus, Roman discusses Oklahoma and whether an improved Sooners offense can help Brent Venables' defense by controlling the football, sustaining drives and keeping the defense off the field. The former NFL safety also shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about NFL training camp, including the reality of “camp eyes,” life inside an NFL locker room and what players experience during the grind of preseason camp.
