STILLWATER — In the hour leading up to the biggest Bedlam game ever played at Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday, an Alamo Bowl representative walked the isles of the press box and handed out fact sheets to reporters.
A sign of things to come for Oklahoma State? It's certainly possible.
A 58-23 loss to Oklahoma eliminated the Cowboys' already slim chances of crashing the College Football Playoff. OSU now joins two-loss Baylor and two-loss TCU in a three-way tie for second place among Big 12 teams.
Head-to-head records create a stalemate, so per league policy, scoring differential among the tied teams is used to eliminate the lowest seed from consideration — TCU at -13 (the Cowboys check in at -10 and Baylor sits at +3).
