We can bemoan the Liberty and Texas Bowls all we want (and maybe we should), but what we can’t bedowngrade is Mike Gundy and OSU’s ability to win postseason games at an astonishing clip.
First, OSU is third all-time among teams with 20 or more bowl appearances in winning percentage (I’m sneaking Boise in with 19 appearances after this season because their Fiesta Bowl W over OU should count as three).
Here’s your top 10 (min. 20 appearances).
Utah: 17-5 (77%)
Boise: 12-6 (66%)
Oklahoma State: 19-10 (66%)
USC: 34-18 (65%)
Ole Miss: 24-13 (65%)
Syracuse: 16-9-1 (64%)
FSU: 28-16-2 (63%)
Alabama: 41-26-3 (62%)
Penn State: 29-18-2 (61%)
Georgia: 31-21-3 (59%)
That’s a good list.
