Can Oklahoma’s offense be fixed—and where do the Sooners go from here?

JP and Travis break down the frustration following Oklahoma’s loss at Michigan, from the abandoned running game to John Mateer’s missed opportunities and Ben Arbuckle’s offensive approach. Why did OU move away from heavier personnel, and what needs to change to put this offense in position to succeed?

The guys discuss coaching accountability, why Elijah Thomas needs more opportunities, whether Jonathan Hatton can spark the backfield, and the injuries and continuity issues surrounding Bill Bedenbaugh’s offensive line.

Plus, what Oklahoma needs to show against New Mexico before facing Georgia and Texas, your questions, and why the season’s story is still being written.

Oklahoma is officially back inside the AP Preseason Top 10—but does No. 10 accurately reflect how good the Sooners can be?

We break down OU’s placement, the teams ranked above and around the Sooners and the biggest surprises throughout the preseason poll. Which programs belong in the national-championship tier? Who is being overrated? Which overlooked teams could climb quickly?

We also examine what Oklahoma’s preseason expectations and difficult SEC schedule could mean for its margin for error in the College Football Playoff race.

Is No. 10 too high, too low or just right for Brent Venables and the Sooners?

Can Lane Kiffin win big immediately at LSU, or is the hype surrounding his first Tigers team getting out of control?

The SEC SMOKE crew breaks down LSU’s 2026 roster, Sam Leavitt and the offensive ceiling, the talent and lingering questions on defense and a difficult schedule filled with season-defining matchups.

We also give our LSU floor and ceiling, discuss whether the Tigers are legitimate SEC Championship and College Football Playoff contenders and deliver our final verdict on whether LSU is properly rated—or overhyped. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Could Oklahoma reach Atlanta and play for the SEC Championship in 2026?

Brett Ciancia, creator of Pick Six Previews—rated America’s most accurate college football preview magazine—joins JP and Travis Davidson to explain why he projects the Sooners to face Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.

They take an in-depth look at Oklahoma’s roster, returning experience, schedule, biggest strengths, lingering questions and the players who could become MVP candidates during the 2026 season.

What gives OU an edge in a loaded SEC? Which position groups will determine the Sooners’ ceiling? And does Oklahoma have what it takes to contend for both an SEC title and another College Football Playoff appearance?

It’s a numbers-driven, national perspective on why expectations for Brent Venables and the Sooners could be much higher than much of the college football world realizes.
