After a promising 4-1 start, the Sooners have stumbled through defeats against Texas, South Carolina, and Ole Miss, leaving their record at a precarious 4-4.

In the SEC, stringing together multiple wins is the secret sauce for championship aspirations. While sustained success is elusive, it’s the hallmark of programs that consistently shine on the national stage. Unfortunately for Sam Pittman and the Arkansas Razorbacks, that level of success has remained just out of reach. During Pittman’s five-year tenure, the Razorbacks have managed to win back-to-back SEC games only once—November 2021, when they edged out Mississippi State before stunning LSU. Since then, the team has repeatedly faltered in crucial moments, failing to capitalize on opportunities for consecutive victories. In 2020, Pittman’s first win came against…

The Oklahoma Sooners are in a free fall, suffering their fourth consecutive loss and slipping to a dismal 1-4 in SEC play after a 26-14 defeat against Ole Miss. With a record of 4-4 this season, Brent Venables and his squad are in a race against time to secure two more wins and keep their bowl streak alive, which dates back to 1999. With four tough games left—Maine, Missouri, Alabama, and LSU—the path to a 6-6 finish looks daunting. While the matchup against Maine appears manageable, finding that crucial sixth win will be a serious challenge. In ESPN’s latest…
