Oklahoma, who landed six players on this year's team, earned berths into the College Football Playoff the past two seasons on the heels of capturing Big 12 titles. The Sooners lost to Texas in the regular season Red River Rivalry game in 2018 but topped the Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship Game to earn their second consecutive Big 12 crown. They fell to Alabama in the Orange Bowl semifinal to close out their 2018 season, and lost to Georgia in the Rose Bowl semifinal following the 2017 season.
