Entering the Big 12 stretch of the schedule, the Oklahoma football team is ranked No. 3.
The last time the Sooners checked in at No. 3 during the season came in Week 5 of 2014 ahead of playing an undefeated TCU team.
But after peaking in the polls at No. 3 that year, OU's season quickly went off the rails, beginning with a 37-33 loss at No. 25 TCU in its second conference game of the year. From there, OU dropped Big 12 games to Kansas State, Baylor and Oklahoma State.
By the end of the season, OU fell well short of its College Football Playoff aspirations.
