Oklahoma Sooners to win the SEC football title this year?….and Texas the National Championship? OHIO STATE/TEXAS prediction…..

Sports fans, college football fans, and all my friends that read my articles, I have the Oklahoma Sooners winning the Southeastern Conference football title in 2025.  That is an opinion that most will not agree.  The team from Norman was awful in 2024 with an offense that could not move the all with any sort of success.  It ended  with their 2nd losing season in three years, a 6-7 with a bowl loss to the Navy.  A better than average defense coupled with a brand new offense led by new coaches and players will give OU the needed firepower to win the games needed to get into the SEC Championship game and win the title.  It can be done.

Nationally, right now, Texas, has to be the team to beat in 2025, will be the Sooners opponent in the title game in Atlanta.  And yes, I have UT losing this week to Ohio State in Columbus, and the Horns will lose again, maybe twice in conference.  Yet I have Texas coming back in the playoffs and winning the National Championship, taking apart Penn State to complete a great season.  

My views will met with various distain and compliments will be hard to get for what I have just posted.  Yet, as we all have one, mine is just as good as anyone’s.  And that is the way I see it sports fans.
