Oklahoma: 2026 Week 12 recap

Oklahoma sits at No. 45 after a significant rating drop this season. The Sooners are 5–4 following their Week 10 road win over Florida (23–7), but GIE has marked them down 2.5 points since last week, reflecting broader struggles that the victory couldn't fully mask. Third-down conversion sits at 39%, and red-zone efficiency is particularly troubling at just 18%—those gaps in execution have compounded over the season. With an expected win total around 6.5 and zero path to the playoff or conference title, Oklahoma faces Ole Miss at home this week in a game that matters more for trajectory than postseason hope. The Sooners need to tighten operation in the red zone and on early downs if they're going to stabilize before the season closes.
