Oklahoma defeated Texas in the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday.We know the first reaction. Almost everybody knows what that means for Texas coach Charlie Strong, which is bad. Theres no need to hash that out again.It might mean something worse for the Big 12s College Football Playoff hopes, and the Sooners are at the center of that conversation.MORE: Lets talk it out. Oklahoma is the defending Big 12 champion. The Sooners have the offense to be this years Big 12 champion.And that might eventually keep the Big 12 from the College Football Playoff.The Sooners shot at the College Football Playoff is slim after Linval Joseph Men Jersey nonconference lo ses to Houston and Ohio State,lo ses that were by an average of 15.5 points.Out of conference is the key phrase. In the Big 12, Oklahoma is still the team to beat. They can play in those four-hour shootouts.This one produced a seven-minute stretch in the third quarter where the Sooners and Longhorns combined to produce four TDs on 15.2 yards per play. The Sooners can have four turnovers and still win a rivalry game. They can look good and bad at the same time, but thats good enough to win the Anthony Zettel Women Jersey Big 12 at this point.Why? The offense finally got back on track. Baker Mayfield (22 of 31, 390 yards, three TDs, two INTs) threw TD pa ses of 71, 42 and 47 yards to Dede Westbrook, who finished with 10 catches for 232 yards. Samaje Perine (35 carries, 214 yards, 2 TDs) and Joe Mixon (16 carries, 48 yards) helped ground out the game in the fourth quarter.It might not be enough to save Oklahomas playoff hopes, but they can Chidobe Awuzie Jersey ruin everybody elses in the proce s. They did that to the Longhorns with an offensive onslaught that included TDs on five straight po se sions that spanned the second, third and fourth quarters. Texas fans will start a pool on which day Strong will be fired now.That could be bad news for Baylor and West Virginia the conferences two-best bets to make the College Football Playoff down the line.Remember how Oklahoma got hot after losing to Texas last season? Theres a chance for that again, only this time its coming off a victory and with two lo ses instead of one. A trip to Texas Wayne Gallman Jersey Tech on Oct. 22 is the only real concern before mid-November, when the Sooners take on Baylor at home and West Virginia on the road in back-to-back weeks. Oklahoma could be favored in both of those games.So were saying the Sooners are the best bet to win the Big 12 championship, which is a been-there-done-that-type-deal. Oklahoma has nine Big 12 championships under Stoops, and four of those teams (2006, 2007, 2010, 2012) had two lo ses in the regular season.Would that be enough to get back in the College Football Playoff? Two-lo s teams are rarely forgiven. LSU was the last two-lo s team to be given a title shot, and that was in 2007.Its doubtful, but those two lo ses were in heavyweight fights to teams that will be in the hunt until the end. Oklahoma could win a championship in a Dre Kirkpatrick Women Jersey Power 5 conference in hand, and theres still eight weeks of crazy left in the season. Thats the Sooners best hope, and it might bet the same for the Big 12.Is that better or worse?
