After a slip up, the Oklahoma Sooners dropped out of the college football playoff picture temporarily. However, receiving quite a bit of help, Baker Mayfield and the rest of the crew remain in the conversation.

As far as Oklahoma State is concerned, the Cowboys sit just inside of the top ten as well. Routing the Baylor Bears over the weekend, OSU moves up to No. 10 overall with a single loss. There are plenty of arguments to be made. Yet, much football is left to be played at this point as well.
Regardless, the Big 12 places four programs inside the rankings this week. The West Virginia Mountaineers replace Texas Tech after handing the Red Raiders their second loss of the year.
With eight unbeaten teams in the top twenty-five, who shall prevail when it’s all said and done. Let us know in the comments below!
