Bedlam has more at stake than college football playoff in Oklahoma

There’s still a lot of interest for tonight’s game for many reasons. Running back Samaje Perine could torch the Cowboys’ defense and do substantial damage via the ground. The Bears are coming off a win at previously undefeated Oklahoma State, a week after they lost at home to the Sooners. Patterson has stewed for the last 14 months about Baylor’s 61-58 victory in Waco that ultimately cost his team a shot at the CFP last season. The Sooners have an 84-18-7 advantage in their instate series. Oklahoma State was known then as Oklahoma A&M. As one of two remaining unbeaten teams, they’ll head to the Big Ten championship game next week in the middle of the College Football Playoff race.

If the Sugar Bowl were to take Oklahoma State over the Frogs, TCU would find themselves in the Alamo Bowl against a Pac-12 opponent. He missed last Saturday’s 30-29 loss at Oklahoma, but threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns on Friday, including a ideal strike for a 25-yard TD to Jarrison Stewart on TCU’s first drive.

Oklahoma State is 4-2 ATS in its last six games.

The two quarterback system Oklahoma State uses could remind many Oklahoma fans of the two quarterback system the Sooners used to use with Blake Bell being a short yardage QB, as the “Belldozer” was a tank in those situations. It was especially hard to swallow considering the high-quality quarterback play both of these teams are used to having. On top of all of that, they had to play on a grass field that visibly deteriorated as the game went on.

Rudolph has had several big-time performances – he has passed for more than 400 yards three times this season. He has tossed 21 touchdowns and over 3,500 yards passing. For those that are looking to watch this Big-12 clash, the game can be watched online via a live stream. “It’s his running that got us where we were in the game”. He did pass all the concussion tests and Stoops said that Mayfield has practiced all week. But the key player that Oklahoma needed was Mayfield.

This year’s Horned Frogs were all about offense as quarterback Trevone Boykin spent much of this season in the very center of the Heisman Trophy discussion.

But a 10-win season sounds meaningful, too. Louisiana Tech, meanwhile, is off perhaps its worst outing of the season, a 17-15 road victory over lowly Texas-El Paso. Stidham had been playing for fellow injured signal-caller Seth Russell, who had neck surgery earlier this season. If Alabama defeats Florida, they’re headed to the College Football Playoff.

TO WIN THE BIG 12: For Baylor to claim a third consecutive conference title, it has to win its last two games (against TCU, then December 5 at home against Texas), and No. 9 Oklahoma State has to win Bedlam at home against No. 5 Oklahoma on Saturday night.
