When you play in a conference as competitive as the Big 12, every win is a big one.
Playing in big games is nothing new for Oklahoma. Winning big games, however, has become a problem for the Sooners and Big Game Bob (Stoops), as the OU head coach was called earlier in his Sooner head-coaching career, the past few seasons.
A win at Tennessee definitely would qualify as a huge victory, as would wins over Baylor, Oklahoma State and lesser so Texas.
The game of the year, though, as far as 2015 signature wins for Oklahoma, I believe, will come on Nov. 21, the weekend before Thanksgiving, when OU will play host to TCU and give thanks afterwards for administering one of the big upsets of the 2015 college football season.
Such an upset would definitely upset the applecart as far as the Big 12 race is concerned and leave the Sooners and Horned Frogs in a two-way deadlock for second place in the league standings, one game back of Baylor, with one game remaining. The next to the last weekend of the regular season, includes the much-anticipated showdown between TCU and Baylor that everyone will have had circled on the calendar since the end of the 2014 season as the de facto Big 12 championship game.
