Oklahoma one win closer to CFP

John Mateer threw two touchdown passes and No. 8 Oklahoma defeated No. 22 Missouri 17-6 on Saturday at Norman, Okla., to inch closer to a College Football Playoff spot.

Mateer completed 14 of 30 passes for 173 yards and ran for 60 yards. Isaiah Sategna caught three passes for 109 yards for the Sooners (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference), who likely will make the playoff field with a win at home against Louisiana State next Saturday.

Oklahoma held the Tigers (7-4, 3-4) to 301 yards and shut them out in the second half. The Sooners claimed their third straight victory over a ranked opponent and their fifth over a team that was ranked when they played.

at No. 1 Ohio State 42, Rutgers 9: Julian Sayin threw two touchdown passes despite missing his top two receivers, Bo Jackson rushed for 110 yards and a pair of scores, and the Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) shook off a slow start in which they led the Scarlet Knights (5-6, 2-6) only 14-3 at halftime.

at No. 3 Texas A&M 48, Samford 0: Marcel Reed threw three touchdown passes in the first quarter before sitting down early in the second as the Aggies built a huge early lead. Texas A&M is 11-0 for the first time since going 12-0 under coach R.C. Slocum in 1992.
