When the Oklahoma football program becomes part of the SEC beginning in 2024, it could end the in-state rivalry between the Sooners and Oklahoma State known by fans of those two schools as Bedlam.
It is possible that when Oklahoma and Oklahoma State meet in Stillwater on Nov. 4, it could be the final time the two teams meet in quite some time, effectively ending their annual in-state rivalry game, which is 117 games old and first began in 1904.
Some might question if the in-state matchup between the two Big 12 schools should actually be called a rivalry, given Oklahoma’s overall dominance in the century-old series.
