Oklahoma State made a surprise run to the Big 12 title game but got smoked by College Football Playoff entrant Texas. However, the team can finish the season strong with a strong effort in the Texas Bowl against SEC foe Texas A&M.
Texas A&M has made wholesale changes, hiring Mike Elko from Duke, and since then there's been a mass exodus from the roster, leaving the roster shorthanded for its bowl game against Oklahoma State, who as of this writing have nearly all key contributors set to play outside of possibly Doak Walker Award winning running back Ollie Gordon, who entered the transfer portal.
