With no OU-West Virginia game this Thanksgiving weekend, Sooner fans must resort to cheering on other teams to enhance OU’s postseason situation.
Here’s a short primer on the games most important to OU.
1. Iowa State-Texas. A Cyclone victory pins loss No. 3 on the Longhorns and could eliminate all sorts of multiple-team tie possibilities. OU should be fine either way, provided the Sooners get to play their final two games and win. But if Texas wins, it gets a little more complicated.
2. North Carolina-Notre Dame. The Atlantic Coast Conference getting two teams in the College Football Playoff -- if you count the Fighting Irish as an ACC team -- is a distinct possibility.
