How the Sooners fare in this final stage of the regular season will determine whether they can capture an unprecedented fourth consecutive Big 12 title and make a push for another shot at the College Football Playoff.

The clash with the Mountaineers in Morgantown is widely considered by many to be a pivotal game that will decide the Big 12 title.
