Despite the loss to Baylor last Saturday, there’s still a strong probability that the Oklahoma Sooners will go bowling in 2022. It won’t be a New Year’s Six bowl like many projected to start the season, but Oklahoma will likely get another game that helps them build toward the 2023 season.
As things stand now, USA TODAY Sports’ Erick Smith projects eight Big 12 teams to bowl games. Iowa State is back in the bowl hunt after their win over West Virginia.

For the Sooners, they need just one more win to be bowl eligible. Their final three against West Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech each have the potential to be winnable games, but if there isn’t any improvement on defense, they could also be losable games.

Most recently, the Bulldogs picked up a 31-23 win back in 2016.
