The West Virginia Mountaineers (8-2) will host the Oklahoma Sooners (2-3) for what will serve to be a critical clash that determines who will play for the conference credentials in the Big 12 Championship. This one is a match-up of two top-10 teams, and it will be televised for national audiences on ESPN on Friday night with a kick-off time of 8:00 PM ET. Since joining the Big 12, the Mountaineers have never defeated the Sooners. Oklahoma has won six straight against West Virginia and has covered in their previous four against the men from Country Roads.

<h2>
Oklahoma Sooners at West Virginia Mountaineers Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Oklahoma Sooners </b>
</p>
<p>
The Sooners come in off a 55-40 victory against the Kansas Jayhawks last week in Norman that saw Oklahoma fail to cover a lofty 35-point line. The Sooners have won five straight since falling to their arch-rival Texas in the Red River Showdown, but they have failed to cover in their last three outings.

<p>
<b>West Virginia Mountaineers </b>
</p>
<p>
The Mountaineers come in on the heels of being headline material when they fell prey to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, Oklahoma when they were upset by the Pokes in the final minutes of regulation. West Virginia at one point held a double-digit lead over their counterparts, but Oklahoma State clawed its way to the front. The final tally was 45-41, Pokes.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Oklahoma<br />
</h2>
<p>
Oklahoma relies solely on their offense to win games as it is the best in the country in terms of scoring (49.5 points per game) and total offense (576.3 yards per game). Their defense has been virtually non-existent, but that has been alright because they have had a clear-cut advantage more or less in the points department. However, West Virginia can give this team a run for its money as the Mountaineers sit in the top-10 in total offense (502 yards per game), passing yards per game (340 yards per game), and points scored (40.9 points per game). This is not a team you want to find yourself laying points in a true shootout.

<h2>
Reasons To Back West Virginia<br />
</h2>
<p>
Home field advantage will be instrumental in this contest, and fortunately for West Virginia, this one is played at home before their faithful where they are undefeated on the season (5-0 home record). When you combine location with a favorable match-up and the motivational angle of getting over the proverbial Oklahoma bump, the Mountaineers are in prime position to stage the upset.
