The 2017 campaign has started about as good as possible for Mike Gundy and his Heisman-hopeful quarterback Mason Rudolph. Through the first three games, Oklahoma State has outscored opponents 162-52 (59-0 in Q1) and are averaging an absurd 54 points a contest. The Cowboys are shredding defenses, stifling offenses and look even better than advertised as they enter Big 12 play.

In come Gary Patterson and his #16 TCU Horned Frogs, led by a solid rushing attack and a much-improved defense. TCU has been very impressive in the early stages of the season, highlighted by a 28-7 victory over Arkansas in Fayetteville.
