Is Oklahoma State now the Big 12’s best hope at wrecking a Red River rematch being the conference title game?
The Cowboys have beaten Kansas State and Kansas, respectively, the past two weeks. Both teams from the Sunflower State were thought to be candidates to slip into the conference title bout, with K-State being the defending champion and KU starting the season 4-0.
The next possibility was West Virginia after four straight wins and its only loss being to a very good Penn State squad Week 1. But the Mountaineers just lost a thriller to Houston, which is maybe the worst team in the Big 12.
