In this story:


The path to the College Football Playoff runs through Norman. 

Following Oklahoma’s 23-21 win over Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the Sooners need a pair of wins over Tigers to, in all likelihood, punch their ticket back to the CFP for the first time since 2019.

Up first, OU (8-2, 4-2 SEC) will clash with the Missouri Tigers (7-3, 3-3). 

Eli Drinkwitz’s team is the first challenge for the Sooners, and then Oklahoma will close the season against LSU.

Both teams enter the week riding big wins. 

The Sooners’ victory wasn’t about the margin of victory, but the magnitude. 

Oklahoma snapped Alabama’s 17-game home winning streak and put itself in the center of CFP discussions after the win. 

Brent Venables’ defense forced another flurry of turnovers, and if the Sooners win out, they’ll have a great chance to host a game in the first round of the playoff.

The Tigers built a 21-10 halftime lead, then poured it on in the second half to win 49-27.

Tigers to Know

The Missouri offense is built around running back Ahmad Hardy

He rushed the ball 25 times for 300 yards and three scores against Mississippi State, bringing his season total to 1,346 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.

Hardy is averaging an eye-popping 6.8 yards per carry, and he’s the heartbeat of the offense. 

Receiver Keon Coleman Jr. has caught 56 passes for 600 yards and a score, and the Tigers are hoping to get starting quarterback Beau Pribula back this week. 

Before suffering a lower leg injury, Pribula had thrown for 1,685 yards and 11 touchdowns while also tossing seven interceptions while completing 69.6 percent of his passes. Pribula has also rushed 71 times for 220 yards and five scores in 2025.

Missouri pairs an excellent defense with its explosive rushing attack. 

Linebacker Josiah Trotter leads the team with 61 total tackles. Defensive end Damon Wilson II paces the Tigers with seven sacks, and defensive end Zion Young has also added 5.5 sacks.

The Sooners and the Tigers played one of the SEC’s most chaotic games in Columbia last year. 

Safety Billy Bowman Jr. thought he had won the game for OU with his 43-yard scoop-and-score with two minutes remaining to put the Sooners up 23-16, but Missouri zipped right down the field and former Oklahoma receiver Theo Wease tied the game with a 10-yard touchdown catch from backup quarterback Drew Pyne

Then, OU quarterback Jackson Arnold fumbled the ball and Missouri’s Zion Young scored to seal the 30-23 win for the Tigers. 

Arnold fumbled three times in the game, and Oklahoma lost four total fumbles in the loss.
