After dropping out of the top four following a disappointing home loss earlier in the season to the Iowa State Cyclones, Oklahoma are back on the inside of the provisional College Football Playoff field at #4. If they are able to win each of their three remaining games and finish the season 12-1, they will stay in that field and compete in their second College Football Playoff in the last three seasons.

Similar to Alabama, Clemson and Miami, FiveThirtyEight gives Oklahoma an extremely great chance of making the College Football Playoff if they win out, all other things being equal. However, for those three teams, the chances are greater than 99%. For Oklahoma, the chances are 98%.

The Sooners go up against the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend before a game against the West Virginia Mountaineers to close out the regular season leading up to the Big XII conference championship game in which they will likely take on #12 Texas Christian Horned Frogs.
