With Oklahoma almost certain to secure one of the four spots in this season’s College Football Playoff, we thought it would be interesting to see how OU football this season compares with the other Playoff contenders.
We’ve selected eight different offensive and defensive statistical categories to see how the Sooners compare with the top seven teams in the current Playoff rankings (Clemson, Alabama, Iowa. Michigan State, Ohio State and Stanford).
Oklahoma, with the nation’s seventh-best offensive output among FBS teams, will enter the Playoff with the best offensive production both in terms of total offense and scoring.
