OSU Cowboys Get Ready For Baylor

The game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State looks like it could be an elimination game for the conference and the playoff atmosphere, but first the Cowboys need to be focused in this one. TCU travels to Oklahoma on Saturday. The Cowboys came in with a 12-game win streak that ranked – after Ohio State was beaten – as the second-longest at the FBS level of college football and as the second-longest in Oklahoma State program history. TCU suffered a disappointing loss to Oklahoma State and might be without star quarterback and Heisman hopeful Trevone Boykin; it definitely will be without star wide receiver Josh Doctson, who is now out for the season. “We have opportunities, but the only way anything happens for us is if we win this week”.

Walsh neutralized: Oklahoma State used J.W. Walsh with remarkable success for most of its Big 12 slate. Instead of playing for overtime, Gary Patterson opted to go for two and the win, and Kohlhausen’s scrambling toss was deflected by Parker. It wouldn’t hurt to have Stanford defeat Notre Dame. Ultimately, the decision to join a Power 5 conference comes down to revenue, not competition. In either of those scenarios, whichever team wins the Big Ten championship with one loss or less on the ledger should get into the post-season. The Cowboys control their own fate.

Top Big 12 schools became playoff positioned with nonconference games against Lamar, Rice, Southern Methodist, Central MI, Central Arkansas and Texas San Antonio.

MI State came in as a huge underdog, but they had belief. And, if you have been following along, you know the big news doesn’t always come out of games that were predicted to be big games. I don’t think there’s anything to that, I really don’t. They’re not in a good place to take on the roaring Sooners, who are trying to bull their way into the playoffs.

As for the defense of Ohio State, well, they haven’t disappointed. However, the Bears can not be counted out right now considering their one loss is to another top-ranked team.

You can also check in on any of the SBN sister sites and see what other respective fan bases have to say about their particular match ups. Of course this is the most unlikely scenario.

But such is life in the SEC, where nearly all the coaches make at least $4 million and there is little patience for championship droughts. After all that give me MI State! “They’re very hard to stop and very good, and evidently, they’re a lot better team than us”. We jumped out to a 14-point lead nearly from the get-go, and after OSU rebounded to tie it up there, they never got within 7 points again.

Saturday night at 7 p.m. Eastern, No. 16 Navy hopes to continue its winning ways with a road trip to Tulsa.

The rub: all three of those teams – Ohio State, MI State and Florida – will be ranked ahead of Baylor in next week’s CFP poll.

Rudolph, meanwhile, had a successful day passing, completing 13-of-19 for 195 yards and a touchdown. This team has given us so much to be proud of.

-No. 11 TCU at No. 7 Oklahoma: Both teams are fighting to stay alive in the Big 12 title race.

How big is college football these days?
