Oklahoma wins out
If Oklahoma wins out and Georgia loses, do the Sooners get in?
The Big 12 has typically been a more difficult conference than the Pac 12, so it’d be easy to understand why the No. 7 ranked Sooner could leap the No. 6 ranked Utes although both teams remain at one loss.
Oklahoma barely beat Baylor, having to march from down two scores to defeat the Bears.
However, the two will once again meet in the Big 12 title game. Already having beat Texas, two victories over Baylor would likely combine to display a better resume than that of Utah’s.
I’d also be surprised to see a Big 12 champion not get in over a two-loss Georgia or a one-loss Alabama. OU QB Jalen Hurts is a Heisman candidate, and his dominance may boost Oklahoma’s chances.
Oklahoma may be a team that, as long as LSU wins the SEC, will control their own destiny.
