Projected Wins

Team Thesis

Oklahoma Quietly Builds a CFP Semifinal Case Around Mateer and an Elite Defense. The story in Norman isn't a quarterback change or a coaching hire.

32% to start 5-1 or better. Bowl path 93%. Collapse risk 22% (6 or fewer wins). Schedule is front-loaded by +0.5 wins through the first six. Biggest shift Wk4: 94% to 31%.

Bull Case

9-3

If the new receivers click with Mateer early, this is a team built to chase a CFP semifinal.

Bear Case

6-6

If the offense needs a half-season to gel, 7.6 wins and a solid-but-unspectacular finish is the more likely outcome.
