CFP hopeful No. 5 Oklahoma beats No. 9 Texas for Big 12

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kyler Murray had another Heisman Trophy-worthy performance, Oklahoma's much-maligned defense made some big key plays and the fifth-ranked Sooners won yet another conference title. Now the 12-time Big 12 champions wait to find out if all that is good enough to get back into the College Football Playoff. "There's no doubt we have a playoff-worthy team, but I understand that there's other factors there too that we can't control," coach Lincoln Riley said. "We've done all we can." Murray was 25-of-34 passing for 379 yards and three touchdowns as the Sooners beat No. 9 Texas 39-27 in the Big 12 championship game Saturday, avenging their only loss and making their case for their third playoff appearance in four years. Two of Murray's TD throws were to Grant Calcaterra , who had an impressive one-handed grab for an 18-yard score on a third-and-10 play with two minutes left.
