Oklahoma is very likely heading to the College Football Playoff.

The No. 8 Sooners did just enough on offense as its elite defense did what it always does in a 17-13 win over LSU on Saturday.

The Tigers had fourth-and-two at the Oklahoma 29-yard line with 1:20 to go, but OU stopped the Tigers after a play-action pass was batted down behind the line of scrimmage.

LSU needed a TD after Oklahoma's Isaiah Sategna III was wide open for the go-ahead touchdown from 58 yards away with 5:04 to go.
