No. 6 Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1 in the Big 12) dispatched in-state rival Oklahoma State Saturday, setting up a rematch with No. 8 Baylor at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Big 12 Championship game in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on ABC.

In a cold, windy night, the Sooners ground out a 34-14 victory over OSU in Stillwater. Meanwhile, Baylor went to 11-1 (8-1 in the Big 12) with a 61-6 rout of bottom dweller Kansas.

The wins set up a scenario where OU or Baylor could wind up in the four-team College Football Playoff.

“We’re just going to try to beat Baylor next week,” OU coach Lincoln Riley said after being asked about OU’s playoff chances.

In the AP Poll, Oklahoma jumped from No 7 to No. 6 and Baylor went to No. 8.  Utah also went up one spot, from No. 6 to No. 5. OU has 1,257 points while Utah has 1,275 –  a difference of only 18 points. Utah plays No. 13 Oregon Saturday in the Pac-12 Championship.

What the Sooners need is for LSU to beat Georgia, Ohio State to beat Wisconsin and Oregon to beat Utah. A Virginia upset of No. 3 Clemson would be a plus. If Georgia beats LSU, that could set up a scenario where the Southeastern Conference would get two playoff teams (LSU and Georgia) along with Big 10 champions Ohio State and ACC champions Clemson. If that happens, the Big 12 and the Pac-12 probably would be shut out of the playoffs.

“It will be a great opportunity and we’ve earned our way into it,” said Baylor coach Matt Rhule said of Saturday’s rematch with the Sooners. “They’re champions. It will be a great week.”

OU quarterback Jalen Hurts is ranked No. 12 in the nation in passing yardage (3,347 total). He is fourth in the nation in percentage completions (72%). He has 31 touchdown passes this year and only six interceptions.

In the 34-31 comeback win over Baylor, Hurts hit 30 of 42 pass attempts (71%) with four touchdowns and one interception.

OU All American receiver CeeDee Lamb had an unspecified injury and didn’t play against Baylor in the first game. Lamb has caught 50 passes this year for 1,035 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer is No. 25 in passing yardage (2,935 total). He is completing 65% of his passes with 20 touchdown passes and only six interceptions.

In the first game against OU, Brewer hit 18 of 29 passes (62%) for 194 yards, two touchdowns and one costly interception in the last minute of the game.

Baylor wide receiver Denzel Mims has caught 61 passes this season for 945 yards and 11 touchdowns. Against Oklahoma, Mims caught six passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns.

Oklahoma’s offense leads the nation with 6,772 yards (564 yards per game). The Sooners average 44.3 points per game while Baylor averages 36.2. Baylor, with 5,341 yards, is averaging 445 yards per game.  The Sooners average 305 yards passing per game while Baylor averages 258 yards. OU gains an average of 304 yards per game on the ground while the Bears average 186 yards.

Baylor leads the Big 12 in total defense, allowing only 18.4 points per game while OU is third, allowing 24.7 points. Oklahoma heads the Big 12 defenses, allowing only 336 yards per game. But Baylor is close behind, allowing only 350 yards per game.

“We’ve just got to play,” said Baylor safety Grayland Arnold. “OU is a good team but it’s about us. We got to get back to the basics, the process and practice hard. We can’t do anything different than what we’ve been doing with our whole process and the whole journey.”

Against OSU, Hurts completed 13 of 16 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown. He also ran 16 times for 61 yards and a touchdown.  Hurts caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Nick Basquine – his first career touchdown reception.

OU running back Kennedy Brooks ran 22 times for 160 yards (7.3 average) and a touchdown.

“The guard/tackle pull play gave us a lot of issues,” said OSU coach Mike Gundy. “We weren’t very effective against the rush.”

“Their quarterback is obviously a great player, and we focused a lot of attention on him,” said OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. “Anytime you play defense against a great offense, when you focus in one area, you do leave yourself open in other areas. We were behind in the running game when it came to stopping the running back. They did a great job of adjusting and running through the running back. We made adjustments in the second half, but I felt like we were behind in that area the whole game.”

Lamb caught two passes for 25 yards in the game and now has more than 1,000 receiving yards for the season (1,024). In his three-year career, Lamb has 2,989 career receiving yards (fourth in school history).

OU cornerback Parnell Motley forced a fumble in the first quarter and recovered the ball. He intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter.

The Sooner defense contained Chuba Hubbard, the nation’s leading rusher and a Doak Walker Award finalist, to his second-lowest season rushing total and to an average of 4.3 yards per carry.

“He had a little bit of room early,” Riley said of Hubbard. “We made a few adjustments, settled in a little bit and defended the run a little better as the game went on. I thought the d-line was pretty disruptive. There weren’t too many clean running lanes, especially after that first quarter. The few times he did get loose we did a good job of getting him on the ground. His longest was 22 yards. If you would’ve told us that before the game, we would’ve taken it.”

Hubbard had 103 yards on 24 carries after entering the game averaging a nation-leading 166.5 rushing yards (6.4 per carry).

“He is at the end of the year where he has had the ball a ton,” OSU offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson said of Hubbard. “We’ve managed him in practice really well, but he is bound to have a little mileage on him at this point. Everybody does. He has got a lot of mileage on his legs. We could have definitely finished out better for him and the rest of the group.”

“We’re in the now and we focus on that now, but we definitely still have strides to make, and I feel as if this defense has stepped up in critical games, but we still can be better,” said OU defensive back Brendan Radley-Hiles. “There’s still room for improvement in every area.”

OU kicked Gabe Brkic made field goals of 42 and 27 yards and all four PATs against OSU. He is the only major college kicker this year to make all of his field goal and extra-point attempts. He is a combined 59 for 59 (14 for 14 on FGs, 45 for 45 on PATs). Brkic has made 14 consecutive field goals, tying the school record for consecutive field goals made in a single season (Scott Blanton in 1992).

Oklahoma has won 21 straight November games (last loss on Nov. 8, 2014, vs. Baylor).
