  • Power Five non-conference games in the playoff era (since 2014): 5
  • Power Five non-conference road games in the playoff era (since 2014): 1
  • number of home-and-home series with different BCS/Power Five opponents (since 1998): 10

Over the last decade, Oklahoma tends to play one lower tier team, one mid-level team, and one traditional Power Five powerhouse in their non-conference schedule. The Sooners have upcoming Power Five home-and-homes with UCLA, Tennessee, Nebraska, Michigan, and LSU.
