No college team in America is hotter than Oklahoma football is right now.

And therein lies the problem for the 14th-ranked Sooners as they prepare for their longest road trip of the 2020 season and where danger waits in the form of the West Virginia Mountaineers.

West Virginia is playing very good football of late as well, and Saturday night’s primetime contest with the Mountaineers (5-3, 4-3) has all the makings of a trap game for the Sooners, who go into the game riding a five-game conference winning streak and with a potential spot in the Big 12 championship game in the balance.
