A Big 12 Dalvin Cook, or, dare I say, Leonard Fournette?

Barring any major upsets, though, the field will consist of Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and the Big Ten champion. The Hawkeyes have been doubted all season, despite their undefeated record, but a victory over the Spartans would end all chatter about their playoff worth. The Sooners had two touchdown runs of 66 yards or more, along with another that went for 25 yards.
Oklahoma State (10-1) was also in the College Football Playoff running until Baylor upended them a week ago. They averaged 7.8 yards per play.
As the first quarter dwindled out of sight, Semaje Perine breezed past the OSU defense for a 68-yard score. If OSU beats the Sooners, it would need Baylor University to lose one of its final two remaining games. “Coaches stress getting better every practice and every game”.
Washington also leads the team in receiving touchdowns, with 10 on the season. At one point, Shepard and Mayfield even jumped into the seats to celebrate with fans.
Where will the Sooners play their semifinal? – Chad Kelly threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to lead MS (9-3). He limped to the locker room after the on-field celebration.
Projections on FiveThirtyEight.com give the Sooners a 99 percent chance to make the playoff, but considering the other contenders now outside of the top-four, that might as well be 100 percent.
“We had some runs here and there that I thought were decent”, Yurcich said. I dunno, maybe? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
He didn’t complete any of his three passing attempts and Sooners cornerback Jordan Thomas intercepted one of them and returned it 32 yards for a score midway through the second quarter. Zack Sanchez had one of his worst days in crimson and cream.
The pleasure comes in knowing the Sooners are off this week.
“If he continues this way with no issues, like he’s had yesterday and so far today, then he is expected to play”, Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops said of Mayfield in is weekly press conference. The players need to rest. Yet, college football rarely is that easy to sort through, meaning that an upset by either Florida or North Carolina in their respective championship game would hamper or eliminate their opponent’s playoff selection.
“Especially this late in the season”. “They did a good job and they ran through us”. Iowa will face No. 5 Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game.
