There you have it! Sooners come in at no. 8 in the latest College Football Playoff Ranking and if the game was to end today it would be the Sooners hosting the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. You honestly couldn’t make it any better than that, right? Welllll… There is a world that OU hosts none other than Lincoln Riley and his USC Trojans if things fall just right as well.

But, for now, that isn’t important. What’s important right now is that OU handles business against CFB Playoff 22nd ranked team Missouri Tigers this coming weekend. The same Missouri Tigers that have become quite the thorn in the Brent Venables‘ and Sooners’ side on the recruiting trail, NIL and even on the field, where Mizzou beat the Sooners in the final minute of their 2024 matchup 30-23, in Columbia (MO). Afterward, the head coach of Missouri, Eli Drinkwitz, took a shot at the Sooners and legendary former head coach Bob Stoops, saying, “This will be really disappointing to Bob Stoops, but OU doesn’t always just whip Missouri’s ass right now.”

We discuss all of that, the Sooners’ path to keep their home field advantage, what would cause OU to lose their home field advantage and more in the OUInsider Under the Visor Emergency Podcast powered by Riverwind Casino.
