The Big 12 advertises “Ten teams, nine games…and every game matters..” in its football promotional materials. What it comes down to in 2015, however, is that one game matters most. That game is the 110th edition of Bedlam football: OU vs. Oklahoma State this Saturday night in Stillwater.
The last time both teams were ranked in the top-10 in a game played at Oklahoma State was in 2011. Oklahoma State, with Brandon Weeden at quarterback and Justin Blackmon at wide receiver, came into the Bedlam battle that year with an 11-1 record and ranked 3rd in the nation, and might have been even higher had the Cowboys not lost unexpectedly at Iowa State two weeks before.
