NASHVILLE, Tenn. – SoonerScoop.com has taken over SEC Media Days, looking to find out if Oklahoma is ready to play in college football’s toughest conference.

Oklahoma and Texas are set to join the Southeastern Conference in 2024, following their final season in the Big 12. The Sooners and Longhorns are changing the landscape of college football. And that’s all the buzz at SEC Media Days this week. Scoop caught up with several national media members asking their thoughts on Oklahoma’s future in the SEC, expectations for the 2023 season, and impressions of coach Brent Venables as he enters his second season in Norman. Most of the media agreed Oklahoma will be ready for the move, but have some concerns about the direction of the program heading into Year 2 under Venables. It’s clear, the 2023 season will be pivotal for the Sooners.

On3’s Andy Staples was one of the media members to join Scoop, speaking with reporter George Stoia. Staples has covered college football for the past decade and is considered one of the leading voices in college football. He also played football at the University of Florida in the 2000s. And he previously worked for Sports Illustrated and The Athletic. He has one of the largest college football podcasts in the country — The Andy Staples Show.

Staples believes Oklahoma is ready for the SEC and is one of the top five programs in college football history.

“I think Oklahoma is going to be fine in the SEC,” Staples told SoonerScoop.com. “There’s only been one program that’s been consistently more good and that’s Ohio State… I don’t worry about Oklahoma.”
