Kirk Herbstreit: Oklahoma Will Need to ‘Raise the Bar’ Before Move to SEC

When Oklahoma makes its move to the SEC in 2025 they will no longer be viewed as the Top Dog in their conference year-in and year-out. The 14-time Big 12 champions will likely be seen as the third-best team in the conference when they enter, barring a major turnaround in Baton Rouge that could see their projected finish overall slide to the four spot.

Conference realignment: Kirk Herbstreit predicts college football will have three power leagues

Conference realignment remains in full swing after USC and UCLA announced in late June they would join the Big Ten in 2024, a move bound to only widen the gap between the Big Ten, SEC — the latter adds Oklahoma and Texas in 2025 — and rest of college football. But as consolidation of the sport seems inevitable given current trends, longtime college football analyst and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit thinks there will be room for a third power league alongside the Big Ten and SEC at the table when the current phase of realignment ends.
