For all practical purposes, the Oklahoma football run to the College Football Playoff ended with a loss in Game 2 of the 2020 season.
Of course, one loss does not eliminate a team’s chances of becoming one of the final four college football teams left standing when the final CFP rankings come out, but in the Sooners’ case, that one loss fatally turned into two.
