WHAT'S AT STAKE?

It's still early, but this is a must win for the Sooners, whose hopes for a fourth straight College Football Playoff appearance took a major hit with a home loss to unranked Kansas State. Iowa State, which lost by a point in Norman last year after rallying from 21 points down in the fourth quarter, is looking to finish the job and beat the Sooners in Ames for the first time since 1960.

KEY MATCHUP
