Oklahoma football will come into the game trying to get the bad taste of a 48-41 loss to Kansas State out of its mouth.
The Sooners saw their hopes undefeated season come to an end last week and snapped a 22-game road winning streak that dated all the way back to the 2014 season.
The loss dropped Oklahoma football back to No. 10 in the latest AP poll and comes the Saturday before the College Football Playoff committee is scheduled to meet and decide the first CFP rankings. The Sooners will likely have some major ground to make up after the first rankings are announced, but it’s hardly new territory for a program that has come from outside the top four in three of the past four seasons to eventually make the CFP.
