Last week we ranked the bottom six games on the 2022 Oklahoma football schedule in counting down from worst to first based on how difficult the game and opponent is expected to be.

Last week it was teams on the OU regular-season schedule ranked 5 through 12. This week we preview the games expected to be the six most challenging, in ascending order.

For the past several seasons, the Sooners’ schedule has been backloaded with the toughest opponents falling in the second half of the season and, in particular, in the month of November.

That same phenomenon is present this season, with four of the six teams Oklahoma will face in the second half of the schedule making up the six biggest games, as we’ve ranked them, on the Sooners’ 2022 regular-season schedule.
