included in at-large discussion?
5 more wins for Oklahoma means they would need to beat at least 2 of the following:
- #1 Texas
- #6 Ole Miss
- #11 Missouri
- #4 Alabama
- #14 LSU
In other words, if they won the 5, they'd have beaten some highly ranked teams and their losses would be to teams also in the playoff discussion. It doesn't mean they'd be in, it just means they're merit discussion.
