Could the Oklahoma Sooners win the 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship?
Jason Watkins has spent the offseason outlining his concerns about quarterback John Mateer, offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle and an Oklahoma offense that was too often inefficient, inconsistent and turnover-prone last season.
But what if Jason—and the rest of the Oklahoma doubters—are wrong?
Hours after Jason’s Oklahoma season preview premieres on The Really Flawed Football Show, HOF Top 12+ examines the other side of the argument: the legitimate blueprint that could take Brent Venables and the Sooners from SEC contender to national champion.
Oklahoma may already possess the most difficult championship ingredient to build—a dominant defense. The question is whether Mateer, Arbuckle and a reconstructed offensive supporting cast can become efficient enough to stop wasting that advantage.
In this episode:
• The new HOF Top 12 and First Four Out rankings
• Why the 2026 national championship race appears wide open
• What John Mateer must improve to become a championship quarterback
• How Ben Arbuckle must change Oklahoma’s offensive approach
• Why the offensive line and running game will determine OU’s ceiling
• How Oklahoma’s defense can carry the Sooners through the CFP
• The moment Jason will believe Oklahoma can win it all
• Why Texas’ latest preseason coronation guarantees absolutely nothing
• The seven-part Oklahoma national championship blueprint
Jason is not predicting an Oklahoma national championship—yet.
But if Mateer protects the football, Arbuckle becomes more disciplined, the offensive line stabilizes and the defense performs as expected, the Sooners may be much closer to the trophy than their critics believe.
What must Oklahoma accomplish before YOU will believe the Sooners are a legitimate national championship contender?
