Projected vs. what happened
Projected score: SP+, from before kickoff. "Expected" in the game numbers is the average of the offense's numbers and the defense's numbers allowed, in their games before this week. An edge held when the game went the way it pointed.
What we published before kickoff: the pick, the matchups and every stat as it stood going in.
How we picked it
Three ratings look at a team in three different ways. The numbers' pick is the team at least two of them favor.
Where the game is won
The ratings split and average out to about 50-50, with Florida ahead by a hair. Florida's best matchup is its run defense, 33rd in EPA per rush allowed, against Oklahoma's run game at 131st. Oklahoma's way back in is its early-down defense, 14th in SUPLEX allowed, against Florida's early-down offense at 93rd.
Each row puts one team's unit against the unit it faces, by national rank out of all FBS teams. An edge is a gap of 25 spots or more.
Injuries and availability
Oklahoma
FloridaStatuses come from the conference availability reports and team news, as of the date shown. "Hasn't played" means a regular (the main passer, a quarter of the carries or 15% of the catches) with no pass, carry or catch in his team's last two games, from the play-by-play. That can be an injury, a benching or a suspension. Linemen and defenders don't show up in that check.

RatingsEven 5–5
On a neutral field, SP+ has Florida 0.3 points better (31st to 33rd). PRIME has Oklahoma by 1.4 instead. The two ratings split on Florida's defense: 50th in SP+, 78th in PRIME. Elo, which only sees results, has Oklahoma ahead (30th to 44th).

TurnoversFlorida 6–0
Florida is +0.3 in turnover margin a game and Oklahoma is −1.0. At about five points a turnover, that's roughly a 6-point edge for Florida.
