By Adam Gibson | Sports Writer

Another college football regular season comes to a close with seven out of 10 Big 12 teams being bowl eligible. Oklahoma and Texas will face off in the Big 12 championship game to decide the Big 12 champion. I have ranked the teams heading into bowl season.

1. Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1) (No. 5 in AP poll)

The Sooners are headed back to the Big 12 championship game after a 59-56 shootout against then-No. 13 West Virginia in Morgantown, W. Va. Despite throwing an interception, junior quarterback Kyler Murray threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 114 more yards and another touchdown.
