Oklahoma climbs two more spots in newest College Football Playoff Rankings

Oklahoma’s climb in the College Football Rankings continues. After the 28-24 win against TCU, the Sooners are now eyeing a Playoff bid.

Oklahoma’s climb in the College Football Rankings continues.

The College Football Playoff committee has released its Nov. 26 College Football Playoff Rankings, with the Sooners climbing up to No. 7.

Oklahoma is coming off a 28-24 win over TCU that saw the Sooners need to overcome three turnovers by the offense to add another win to their resume. Brendan ‘Bookie’ Radley-Hiles had a game-clinching interception with under two minutes to go in the game that highlighted a stellar night from defensive coordinator Alex Grinch’s defense.

Just two weeks ago, Oklahoma fell to No. 10. The Sooners rose to No. 9 last week and now find themselves right in the thick of things at No. 7.

Here is how the rest of the top-10 of the College Football Playoff Rankings rounded out:

  1. Ohio State
  2. LSU
  3. Clemson
  4. Georgia
  5. Alabama
  6. Utah
  7. Oklahoma
  8. Minnesota
  9. Baylor
  10. Penn State

Oklahoma’s opponent on Saturday, Oklahoma State, came into this week’s Rankings again at No. 21. Iowa State fell one spot to No. 23, who the Sooners beat 42-41 earlier in November. Baylor, who Oklahoma beat 34-31 two weeks ago and will face in the Big 12, climbed up to No. 9 from No. 14.

The No. 7 Sooners and the No. 21 Cowboys kickoff Bedlam at 7 p.m. CT.
