10) Oklahoma handles the Mountain Folk
I don't want to hear any crap about how West Virginia was overrated, their defense isn't that good, and their offense is pedestrian. OU hasn't shown a propensity towards playing well at home in recent years, and that was a good win over a quality opponent
Oklahoma came out of the gate fighting (literally and more on that later), staking a 24-7 halftime lead and slamming the door shut in the 4th leading to a 44-24 win against a good Mountaineer squad on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Aside from one really bad interception, Baker Mayfield was again the difference, going 14 of 25 for 320 yards and 3 scores. 25 attempts. 320 yards. Many of which came on big plays and fantastic play calls. West Virginia was hellbent on bringing pressure against both the pass and run. Whether it was Lincoln Riley's play calling or Mayfield checking at the line, the receivers were running open on huge plays when the line gave Baker time to deliver the pass.
