Oklahoma, West Virginia and Oklahoma State are in a tight, three-way race, heading down the home stretch with the finish line in the Big 12 football championship in clear view.
After losing two of their first three games in 2016, the Sooners have reeled off seven consecutive wins against Big 12 opponents and have returned to the top 10 in the Associated Press rankings, at No. 8 this week. OU owns a one-and-a-half-game lead over West Virginia in the conference standings, and travels to The Mountain State this weekend, where the Big 12 leaders will go toe to toe with the 10th-ranked Mountaineers, with the conference crown on the line.
