The final two weeks of the regular season are upon us. It’s crunch time for the conference title and College Football Playoff contenders. While the playoff is out of reach for the Sooners, they still have an outside shot at a Big 12 title game berth.
They’ll need to take care of their own business against BYU and TCU over the next nine days. But if the Sooners finish strong and get a little help, one final trip to Arlington is certainly in the cards.
But at the moment, they’re on the outside looking in, and that impacts where they’re heading in USA TODAY Sports’ latest bowl projections.
Let’s take a look at where the Big 12’s projected postseason landing spots.

All-Time Series: Badgers lead 4-2
