The Sooners remain a solid favorite to capture a 12th Big 12 championship, but their stock among the chief College Football Playoff contenders took a hit over the weekend after their struggles to defeat an Army team that has not beaten a team in the nation’s top-10 since 1963.
The ESPN Football Power Index, which predicts a team’s performance going forward for the remainder of the 2018 season, gives Oklahoma a 50-percent chance of winning the Big 12, but only an eight-percent chance of winning out. According to the FPI, Texas Tech and Texas have the best chance of unseating the Sooners in the Big 12 title chase.
