The Oklahoma Sooners have been road dogs over the last couple of seasons. In 2025, they picked up road wins at two of the most difficult places to play in college football, beating Tennessee at Neyland Stadium and Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
But the Sooners also have one of the toughest places to play, according to rankings released by EA Sports ahead of the release of College Football 27. Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium came in at No. 11 in this year's rankings. That's three spots lower than how GFOMS ranked in College Football 26.
The Sooners went 7-1 during the regular season with the lone loss to Ole Miss on a dreary day in Norman. Oklahoma also lost at home during the College Football Playoff after jumping out to a 17-0 lead over Alabama.
This year, the Sooners will need to be great at home once again. After facing UTEP and New Mexico in nonconference play, Oklahoma will play Kentucky, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M at home this season.
Brent Venables squad will also have to travel to three of the most difficult places to play in college football in 2027. Michigan Stadium, home of the Wolverines, ranks No. 12 on the list and will welcome the Sooners to town in Week 2. Oklahoma also plays at Georgia in Week 4. Sanford Stadium ranks as the No. 4 most difficult place to play. In November, the Sooners will travel down to the Swamp to take on the Florida Gators in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, which landed at No. 7 according to EA Sports College Football 27.
College Football 27 is set to be released worldwide on July 9, 2026 with early access available to MVP+ members on July 2 and on July 6 for those who purchase special editions of the game.
