Oklahoma rooting guide for OU’s path to a Big 12 Championship

Using our 2020 Big 12 model we’ve found the perfect combination for Oklahoma in this week’s Big 12 games.

Of the five Big 12 games in week 9, there are 32 different possible combinations of winners. Using our 2020 Big 12 model, now updated with all tiebreaker procedures, we’ve found the perfect combination for Oklahoma this week.

Below lists all five games, with a measure of how each winner would affect Oklahoma’s chance at a Big 12 championship.

If all five teams on the left win, that could be considered a perfect weekend for Oklahoma. All five teams on the right winning would be the worst possible outcome.

The game with the most to gain would be Texas pulling off a road win over Oklahoma State, while the game with the most to lose (besides Oklahoma’s) is Kansas State escaping Morgantown with an apparent upset victory.
