4. Oklahoma State Cowboys (Record: 2-1)

The craziest thing about Oklahoma State is that hadn’t been for that unfortunate call against Central Michigan, the Cowboys would be 3-0, and undoubtedly in a three-way race with TCU and West Virginia.

With a test against a good Pittsburgh team on Saturday, the Cowboys proved that even through a weather delay, good things happen when you have a short-term memory. Oklahoma State did Big 12 things on offense with bursts here and there defensively, but this was the perfect opponent for the Cowboys before conference play begins.

Next Game:

Sat, Sep 24 Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Waco, Texas 6:30 p.m.
