The Oklahoma Sooners have been slowly working their way up the national rankings for the past five weeks, but last weekend’s big win over a Baylor team many have had penciled in as top playoff contender since the start of the season, has vaulted the Sooners up five spots to No. 7 this week in the College Football Playoff standings.
It has taken five weeks and a quintet of impressive victories following a midseason loss to Texas – one that just may haunt Oklahoma all the way to Dec. 6 – for the Sooners to become relevant again this college football season.
