Heading into Week 6, Oklahoma boasted arguably the best win — a 15-point triumph at then-No. 2 Ohio State — of any team in the country.
Now, the Sooners have the most baffling loss of any Top 25 team.
Say what you will about Iowa State and its’ history of spoiling team’s National Championship aspirations. A byproduct of Oklahoma’s 38-31 home loss to Iowa State is the Big 12 champion will have a tough time unseating the champs from the ACC, Big Ten and SEC if either Clemson or Miami, either Alabama or Georgia, either Penn State or Wisconsin and Washington or Washington State finish unbeaten.
