For all but two teams, the 2023 college football season has come to a close. That means it’s time to look ahead to the 2024 season.
After making significant improvements on both sides of the ball in 2023, the Sooners jumped from six to 10 wins in Brent Venables’ second season. But now they move to the SEC and are breaking in new coordinators on both sides of the ball.
Additionally, they’ll have a completely new offensive line from the group that started for the majority of the season and a new starting quarterback after Dillon Gabriel left for Oregon.
Jackson Arnold takes the reins at quarterback for the Sooners. Despite his Alamo Bowl performance, the ceiling is very high for Arnold and the Sooners offense.
But they’ve got a difficult schedule in 2024, in particular when they get to SEC play. But how would you rank their opponents in 2024? Here’s how we ranked them here at Sooners Wire.
Alabama Crimson Tide

When: Nov. 23
Where: Norman
Alabama may not have been the dominant force that they’ve been in years past, but they still made the College Football Playoff and were a few plays away from making the national title game. Alabama is still Alabama and Nick Saban is still one of the best coaches in college football. With Jalen Milroe returning, Alabama will be a force again in 2024.
