Oklahoma’s best edge on Florida is passing
Each unit against the one it meets, by national percentile this season. A filled dot is the attack and a ring is the defense it meets; the first name is the attack. Further right is better for both.

How they play
Oklahoma fields a struggling offense behind an elite defense, though it gives up the big play.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Oklahoma reads strongest in success rate allowed (top 10%) and EPA allowed (top 11%); the crux lives in rushing EPA, where Oklahoma sits at the 3rd percentile.
Offense · strengths lead
Defense · higher bar = harder to play against
Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Oklahoma is worth +5.3 points more at home than on the road.
Top third of FBS, 69th percentile of 133 programs
83% at home, 62% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (43-9 home, 23-14 away). Interval ±4.0.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Oklahoma has beaten the number by +1.4 more at home than away over 93 games. That is inside the ±6.2 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Memorial Stadium (Norman, OK) seats 86,112 and has averaged 97% full (83,626, 30 games reported). Visitors cover a median 513 miles to get here since 2018 — 46th-longest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 16% of the 2026 roster (17 of 107 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 56 home games since 2018.

Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Lloyd Avant and Tory Blaylock split the carries (78/113 vs 35/113) -- but the job isn't split the same way. Tory Blaylock produces in bigger chunks.

Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 11th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 1st — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.

How Oklahoma’s current staff calls plays, year over year
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Oklahoma’s passing game completes a completion rate above the FBS mean (69.1% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 210-play sample) — mid-pack, 104 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Oklahoma’s defense allows a completion rate above the FBS mean (68.0% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 160-play sample) — mid-pack, 108 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
