The epicenter of college football this weekend is the state of Oklahoma.
Three FBS games across the state feature five ranked teams and could result in the most important Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game ever played.
On Saturday in Norman, the seventh-ranked Sooners host No. 11 TCU.
Later in the day in Stillwater, No. 4 Oklahoma State faces No. 10 Baylor.
If the Sooners and Cowboys both win, next week's Bedlam game at Oklahoma State will determine the Big 12 champion and maybe a spot in the College Football Playoff. If either the Horned Frogs or Bears win, then their game the Friday after Thanksgiving will still be relevant in the conference and national championship races.
The road teams both have quarterback issues. TCU star Trevone Boykin's status is uncertain because of a sore ankle. Baylor freshman Jarrett Stidham is questionable, which would leave the Bears with a third-stringer starting.
