À propos de cet audio

This episode of the Sooner Nation Podcast is about truth — the kind college football only reveals when the lights are brightest and the stakes are absolute. We open with discussing Oklahoma hosting Alabama in the College Football Playoff — not as a novelty, but as an inevitability. A December night in Norman. A defense built to suffocate. A program finally allowed to play for something real on its own field. This isn’t manufactured hype. It’s Oklahoma colliding with its own history — and daring the postseason to respond. From there, we zoom out to the expanded playoff itself and the backlash surrounding it. The inclusion of James Madison and Tulane didn’t break college football — it exposed it. We unpack why “charity” arguments ring hollow, why brand outrage misses the point, and why honesty — not entitlement — is the real story of the 12-team era. Then we turn forward. The SEC didn’t lie to Oklahoma, and the 2026 schedule proves it. Michigan. Georgia. Texas. Ole Miss. Texas A&M. Missouri. No easing in. No favors. Just a proving ground — one that Brent Venables and this defense appear uniquely built to survive. Finally, we return to Alabama at Oklahoma — the sequel. What changed. What didn’t. And why this playoff game won’t be decided by talent, reputation, or noise, but by refusal. Refusal to blink. Refusal to force it. Refusal to surrender control. This isn’t a shootout. It’s a cage match. And it’s finally happening in Norman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
