The recent news about European football teams pursuing a super league has sparked conversation across multiple sports leagues. With the constant discussions surrounding possible College Football Playoff expansion, why not a college football super league? Andy Staples of the Athletic proposed a 15-team super league for college football, so where would that put the Oklahoma Sooners?

According to the Athletic (subscription required), the Sooners were among the 15 teams that would make up the super league. Among the teams listed, Oklahoma joins the Texas Longhorns as the only two teams from the Big 12 Conference. Teams like the Texas A&M Aggies and Tennessee Vols missed the cut but both Nebraska Cornhuskers and Michigan Wolverines did make the top 15.

The super league wouldn’t be a catch-all for teams that missed out on the College Football Playoffs. While some teams were on the outside looking in for the four-team playoff, this would allow more teams to get involved but there would still be arguments for not being in with the 15 other teams. It would be an interesting way to put top teams against each other each week.

The list of all 15 teams:

  • Alabama
  • Auburn
  • Clemson
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • LSU
  • Michigan
  • Nebraska
  • Notre Dame
  • Ohio State
  • Oklahoma
  • Oregon
  • Penn State
  • Texas
  • USC
