🔴Big Monday: Is 8-4 a ‘Successful’ Season for OU in 2025? | SEC & CFP Picks

On this BIG MONDAY edition of Rise & Shine College Football with Jason Watkins & Big Mike Boganowski, we tackle the hot-button question: Is 8-4 really “good enough” for Oklahoma in 2025?
With OC Ben Arbuckle’s high-powered scheme and Washington State transfer QB John Mateer running the show — plus what might be the best defense in the SEC — Sooner Nation has far bigger goals. But with the toughest schedule in the conference, skeptics question whether OU can reach the SEC title game or the College Football Playoff.
We break down the Sooners’ first Fall Camp scrimmage, the defensive hype, concerns about the offensive line, Mateer’s ability to produce in the SEC, and debate whether Brent Venables’ rumored “8-4 floor” is anywhere close to success. Plus, SEC finish predictions and national championship picks in year two of the 12-Team Playoff.
