A Red River rematch in the Big 12 championship may be just what Oklahoma needs for a College Football Playoff berth

With all the due respect to West Virginia, the Big 12 might be on the verge of getting the dream matchup for its football championship game.

If Oklahoma can remain perfect against West Virginia and if Texas can avoid a repeat of the 2016 debacle at Kansas, the two Red River rivals and college football bluebloods will meet for the Big 12 title Dec. 1 at AT&T Stadium.

Yes, it would bring tons of attention and reward all those astute ticket buyers who gave the Big 12 a ton of sales the week after Texas beat Oklahoma 48-45 in October at the Cotton Bowl.
