Power Five playoff team may be nearly impossible

The easiest way for a Power Five conference to produce a playoff team is to have one of its teams go undefeated.

Once again, that might be nearly impossible for the Big 12.

The cannibalistic conference is already down to two unbeaten teams in No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 12 West Virginia. Both have daunting games ahead, too.

The Mountaineers visit No. 25 Texas Tech this weekend, and one-loss Texas will see the Sooners on Oct. 6.
