Oklahoma rides biggest comeback in school history past Baylor

WACO, Texas -- Oklahoma kept its College Football Playoff hopes alive by putting together its biggest comeback win in school history.

The No. 10 Sooners climbed out of a 25-point deficit to No. 13 Baylor to give the Bears their first loss of the season, escaping McLane Stadium with a 34-31 win.

The effort was also the best against a CFP-ranked team in the playoff era. Since 2014, teams were a combined 0-162 when trailing a CFP-ranked team by 25 or more points. The 21-point halftime deficit Oklahoma overcame is the largest a team has overcome to beat an FBS team that entered the game 9-0 or better since NCAA classification began in 1937, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
