The Sooners are at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for the next two games, and should OU win both, the Sooners can wrap up a berth in the College Football Playoff. First up is a Saturday morning kickoff against former longtime Big 8/Big 12 foe Missouri.

Oklahoma (8-2) comes in ranked No. 8 in the latest College Football Playoff poll. The Sooners won on the road at Tennessee earlier this month; then last week, upended Alabama for the second straight year, this time a hard-fought 23-21 win inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

And now OU, which lost to Ole Miss in its previous last game at home, can continue its late-season charge.
The Sooners can also gain a measure of revenge after perhaps the most perplexing loss of their ill-fated 6-7 finish a year ago. Trailing in the fourth quarter, OU rallied to take a 23-16 lead, only to give up two touchdowns to Missouri in the final 1:03, the latter a fumble return with 22 seconds left that gave the Tigers a 30-23 win.
Missouri comes into Saturday’s game at 7-3 overall, and the Tigers are No. 22 in the latest CFP rankings. Last week, the Tigers rolled past Mississippi State, 49-27, breaking a two-game losing streak.
This will be the 98th meeting in the series between Oklahoma and Missouri. OU is 67-25-5 all-time, and the Tigers haven’t beaten the Sooners in Norman since 1966.
