Yes, the Oklahoma Sooners still have plenty of opportunity to prove themselves, but a loss to Ole Miss on Saturday could seal the Sooners’ College Football Playoff fate before Week 9 of the college football season really even gets going.
The No. 13 Sooners host No. 8 Ole Miss at 11 a.m. CT Saturday in Norman for a matchup between two 6-1 teams fighting to keep their postseason dreams afloat. However, even though they enter the game with identical records, a loss could be detrimental for the Sooners, but not the Rebels.
