Facing one of the most difficult college football schedules this season, it was always a strong possibility for Brent Venables that a hot start would ultimately see his fate determined in the playoff race by the end of November. Saturday’s comeback attempt against No. 8 Ole Miss fell short, 34-26, resulting in No. 13 Oklahoma’s second loss with four games remaining against ranked teams. He went 5-0 to start this month, but the loss to Texas was a precursor to what could happen when the offense doesn’t sustain drives, which the Rebels’ loss exposed again. Oklahoma (6-2) managed just 342 yards of total offense and only 13 carries, 76 fewer than their season average. A few productive catch-and-run plays by Isaiah Sategna and Xavier Robinson early were quickly countered by a 65-yard scamper in the third quarter. With a chance to tie the game via a touchdown and two-point conversion midway through the quarter, the Sooners stalled at the Ole Miss 30-yard line after consecutive incompletions from John Mateer before regaining possession with 1:03 left and nothing remaining. With a last gasp, the visitors reached and fell at the finish line with a failed Ave Maria attempt. The Rebels set up their first SEC road win against an opponent under Lane Kiffin. There was always a reluctance for Oklahoma in various week-to-week playoff projection updates this season on CBS Sports for multiple reasons — Mateer’s unexpected hand injury and how he was rushed back to the board for half. If a potential three-loss team is to get one of the final seven at-large spots, Oklahoma has a shot from the schedule, but what is more likely is a brutal November takeover. Oklahoma’s remaining schedule features top-25 wins against Oklahoma, Michigan and Auburn, and three wins of the final four games will give more momentum than most alternatives when the selection committee meets at the beginning of December. But the only three loss team in the playoff was last season’s Clemson, which did under ACC champion. Prior to the 12-team expansion, only four three-loss teams finished in the top twelve of the final polls on four previous occasions — four teams absent (Utah, Kansas in 2022; Utah in 2021; Washington in 2018). They reached the quick 12-quarter bracket with 10 wins, but their a 3-1 finish and a 9-3 season overall, with a 9-3 performance, with a 12-quarter win bracket, however with a 3-1 finish and a 9-3 season record overall, 12-team per conference 10 team 3. expands “Everything is easier when you expect it to be easy, and that’s why I think it’s difficult for you to want your guys to play with an even mind when everything is not going right,” Venables said this week of his team’s harrowing expansion. “Or when things get a little difficult, I don’t want guys to panic, I don’t want guys to leave, ‘Oh God, what are we going to do now?’ skirmishes”
