For the sixth-straight season, Oklahoma claims victory in the Bedlam series, moving their all-tine record in the rivalry to 90-18-7. Since taking the helm in 2017, Lincoln Riley is now 4-0 in the Bedlam series, while Mike Gundy is 2-14 against the Sooners as head coach.
Once again, the Sooners appear dominant in the series and walk away with a blowout victory as Spencer Rattler throws for 301 yards on 17-24 passing with four touchdowns. Rhamonsdre Stevenson finished with 141 yards on 26 carries.
With the win, the Sooners move into a second-place tie alongside Oklahoma State and Texas (Iowa State remains in first with just a single conference loss). This is particularly significant in terms of tiebreakers because Oklahoma owns a head-to-head victory over both of these teams.
Iowa State’s victory over Kansas State earlier on Saturday knocked Kansas State into fifth place in the Big 12 with three conference losses. So long as the Wildcats remain out of contention, Oklahoma will have an advantage in any potential tiebreakers.
