The Oklahoma Sooners' hopes of getting into the College Football Playoff mix received a huge boost Saturday thanks to their 56-28 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers.
The 9-2 Sooners were ranked ninth in this week's CFP rankings, sandwiched between other two-loss teams such as the No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers, No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions, No. 10 Colorado Buffaloes, No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys and No. 12 Utah Utes.
Oklahoma had the toughest matchup among that group Saturday, with West Virginia being ranked 14th.
Playing on a snow-covered field at Milan Puskar Stadium, Oklahoma wasted no time asserting its will.
