Oklahoma football fans just became very interested in how the seasons for Iowa and Notre Dame will close out. The Hawkeyes and Irish, along with Oklahoma State, are the only things standing in the Sooners' way of making the College Football Playoff. With a date against the Cowboys, in Stillwater, looming on the 28th, OU is in control of their own destiny to win the Big 12 (gotta take care of TCU this weekend first) but they need some help.

Notre Dame still has Boston College and a trip to Stanford remaining on their schedule, and Iowa plays Purdue and the travels to Lincoln to play Nebraska. If the Hawkeyes finish the regular season unscathed then they are bound for the Big Ten Championship Game.
