Mayfield powers Sooners to Big 12 title, but CFP seems like long shot

NORMAN, Okla. -- With the Big 12 title on the line, Oklahoma lost one Heisman contender to an injury.

Fortunately for the Sooners, they had another.

Behind quarterback Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma overcame the loss of wide receiver Dede Westbrook to coast past Oklahoma State 38-20 on a rainy Saturday to capture its 10th Big 12 championship and clinch a berth in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

By toppling the Cowboys, the Sooners also became the first Big 12 team to run the table in conference play in seven years.
