The Sooners, with a 6-2 conference record, had one conference game remaining, against West Virginia, on December 12, but it was canceled. West Virginia shut down its football operations for seven days to get virus infections under control.

Since those two consecutive conference losses, the Sooners have won six in a row, including a 27-14 victory over Baylor pm Saturday, December 5.

Iowa State, which lost to Oklahoma State, 24-21, on October 24, last won conference championships in football in 1911 and 1912. The Cyclones tied for Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) titles in those years. The MVIAA later became known as the Big Eight Conference. 

Oklahoma is seeking its sixth consecutive Big 12 championship in football.
