Oklahoma, TCU unconcerned about perceived Big 12 bias

However, when Oklahoma State then controlled its fate in the Big 12 a short while later, the Cowboys faced a team – wait for it – which played both a backup quarterback and multiple quarterbacks on a significant Saturday.

MI State minimizes the playbook with a third-string quarterback, playing ground and pound to secure a huge victory and jump back into the College Football Playoff race. 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.

On Johnson’s first drive, he faced third-and-8 from the Baylor 21-yard line and rushed for 10 yards.

How much can they take?: Oklahoma State’s defense was vulnerable in the first quarter, but it held BU to a field goal in the second and forced two turnovers. Mississippi State is coming off a brutal loss to Alabama (and teams don’t play well after playing the Tide, apparently) while Arkansas returns home after handily defeating LSU.

No matter what Oklahoma does next week here in Bedlam, it’s just another game unless the Sooners get help down the road. If your looking to gamble on a few college football games this weekend you’ve come to the right place. Iowa will have its day against Ohio State or MI State, and Oklahoma State has two more top 10 ranked opponents they could win against.

One week after having their undefeated season spoiled, the No. 10 Baylor Bears ruined No. 6 Oklahoma State’s unblemished record in Stillwater.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy told the players that their 12-game winning streak that dated to last season was something to be proud of, and reminded them that there’s plenty still to play for. In the next three weeks, they could face three teams inside the top 12 in the CFP rankings (#9 MI State, #12 MI, and potentially #5 Iowa in the Big Ten title game). Meanwhile, the Cowboys also find themselves in a dire due or die position and can not accept a loss this late in the season, if they hope for a shot at a national championship. It tried previous year to parlay a questionable portfolio into landing two teams in the first playoff.

Baylor Bears QB Jarrett Stidham, who replaced Seth Russell, has suffered a back injury in the Bears’ loss of the season, to Oklahoma last Saturday and his physical condition for this week’s game against Oklahoma State is still uncertain.

The Bears still gained 700 yards.

“We couldn’t stop anything”, Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said. The quarterback situation for the Buckeyes has been a week-to-week question, as neither Cardale Jones nor J.T. Barrett has been almost as good as they were last season. Marcell Ateman has 33 catches for 590 yards and 5 touchdowns.

For OSU, the TCU start was the antithesis of the Baylor start. That gap will close after the Sooners complete their schedule against TCU and Oklahoma State. The call was reversed.

For the season: 106-7 head up (93.8 percent), 31-22-2 against the spread (57.1 percent). Two attempts later, he found Jay Lee, inching the pass between two defenders, for a 39-yard touchdown.

The Bears led 24-14 at halftime and opened things up in the third. He ran seven times for 36 yards in the first half against Oklahoma State, and failed to avoid contact several times. It was the fifth time the Cowboys trailed at the half in their past eight games. What most people aren’t seeing is that the committee evaluated the Frogs based on how the team plays without Trevone Boykin.

West Virginia at Kansas: Winless Kansas nearly pulled off a miracle upset of TCU last week but didn’t have the offensive firepower to take advantage.
