The final week of the regular season is here — and for Oklahoma, it’s no longer about survival in the SEC. It’s about arrival. In this episode of the Sooner Nation Podcast, we break down why Saturday’s matchup against LSU is bigger than a rivalry and heavier than a Senior Day — it’s a moment of validation for Brent Venables’ program and a gateway to the College Football Playoff. Oklahoma enters the weekend at No. 8 in the CFP rankings, riding a three-game streak over Tennessee, Alabama, and Missouri — and now controls its own destiny. Win, and a playoff spot (and potentially a home game in Norman) becomes reality. We examine: What’s changed inside Oklahoma’s program Why Venables’ “Relentless” culture is no longer theoretical How the defense has become the backbone of this run Why John Mateer’s leadership matters more than the stat sheet The matchup advantages that favor Oklahoma Why the Sooners are positioned to cover the spread — and control the game This isn’t about projections. It’s about preparation. It’s about identity. It’s about whether Oklahoma is ready to take its seat at the table where championships live. Saturday isn’t supposed to be loud. It’s supposed to be lethal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
