When the 2025 college football season kicked off, the national narrative was clear, Texas was supposed to contend for a national championship again, and Oklahoma was expected to be average in its second SEC season.
Six weeks later, everything has changed.
Toby Rowland: “When this year started, Texas was the number one ranked team in the nation. And Oklahoma, I believe, was picked, where were they picked in the SEC preseason poll? 10th?”
Chris Williams: “10, yeah.”
Oklahoma now enters the 121st Red River Rivalry 5–0 and ranked No. 5 in the country, while Texas limps in 3–2 and unranked after a humbling loss at Florida.
It’s a stunning reversal and proof that in college football, a year can change everything.
