OU football bowl projections 2023: Sooners jump into College Football Playoff picture
Business is picking up for the OU football team.
The Sooners stormed into the bye week with an epic 34-30 win against Texas on Saturday in the Red River Rivalry. OU (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) jumped from No. 12 to No. 5 in the Associated Press poll and to No. 7 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.
As the lone undefeated team in the Big 12, the Sooners appear primed to make a run to the league title game and perhaps the College Football Playoff if they can get to 13-0 or 12-1. The postseason floor for Brent Venables' squad, according to most projections in Week 7, is a New Year's Six bowl.
Here are the latest 2023 bowl projections for OU heading into next week's game against UCF.
