SEC NOTEBOOK Sooners face another big challenge

Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy leads the nation with 1,346 rushing yards as Oklahoma’s top-ranked rush defense aims to secure a critical College Football Playoff spot.

  • On Saturday, Missouri visits No. Oklahoma in Norman at Noon ET/11 a.m., with Oklahoma needing wins in its final two games to secure a College Football Playoff berth.
  • Missouri's Ahmad Hardy has anchored the Tigers' attack this season, leading the nation with 1,346 rushing yards, 15 touchdowns, and a 6.83 yards-per-carry average, backed by a top-20 defense.
  • Oklahoma's defense ranks fourth nationally against the run, allowing 82.2 yards per game, but its offense managed just 212 yards in last week's win, the fewest winning total since 2001.
  • For right now, the Southeastern Conference has five teams in the College Football Playoff , but the chance for six teams is dwindling with two weeks remaining in the regular season.
  • A handful of weekend results could reshape CFP access and seeding, as chaos from unexpected losses by No. Notre Dame and others could open alternative paths and affect at-large CFP berths.
