Oklahoma will have to wait a bit longer to learn the kickoff time for its penultimate home game against West Virginia.

The contest between the No. 10-ranked Sooners and the Mountaineers was placed into a six-day selection window, it was announced on Monday. 

OU’s regular season finale on Black Friday against TCU has already been announced as an 11 a.m. contest, meaning the Sooners’ Nov. 18 trek to BYU is the only other game this year without a set start time.

Last year, the Mountaineers notched their first win over Oklahoma since entering the Big 12.

A walk-off field goal snapped OU’s streak, as West Virginia won 23-20 on a cold and wet afternoon in Morgantown.

Brent Venables’ Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) have their hands full before even thinking ahead to WVU (5-3, 3-2).

Coming off OU’s first loss of the season, a marquee matchup with Oklahoma State looms.

Saturday will be the last Bedlam contest for the foreseeable future, which in itself would be a massive occasion. But Oklahoma’s hiccup in Lawrence blown the race to play in the 2023 Big 12 Championship in Arlington wide open.

OU, OSU, Texas, Kansas State and Iowa State all have one loss in league play, with Kansas and West Virginia waiting in the wings with two Big 12 defeats apiece.

The emergence of Ollie Gordon as the nation’s leading rusher has helped save Oklahoma State’s season, as Mike Gundy and his coaching staff have turned around a 2-2 start to reel off four consecutive victories.

Bedlam at Boone Pickens Stadium will get rolling at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday, and the game will air on ABC.
