John Mateer threw two touchdown passes, and No. 8 Oklahoma defeated No. 23 Missouri 17-6 on Saturday to inch closer to a College Football Playoff spot.

Missouri football lost for the fourth time this season, all against ranked teams, as it fell to Oklahoma behind a lackluster offensive day.

The Sooners did just that Saturday, getting a pair of second-quarter touchdowns and relying on their defense to finish things off as Oklahoma moved even closer to garnering a College Football Playoff berth with a 17-6 win against Missouri at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The Oklahoma Sooners reaching the College Football Playoff would be a joy. The Sooners may feature the best defensive front in the country, one that creates chaos and puts the offense in good position. Then quarterback John Mateer can dazzle with sidearm throws or reckless runs.
