3. Oklahoma State Cowboys (Record: 3-2)

Oklahoma State’s victory over the Texas Longhorns wasn’t just big because the Cowboys won, it was big because it exposed a lot of flaws in the Longhorns which will be very helpful to teams moving forward.

The Cowboys’ special teams dominated Texas by blocking three extra point attempts, which helped give Oklahoma State its first win over the Longhorns in eight seasons. Quarterback Mason Rudolph continues to improve this season, and connected on 19 of 28 passes against the Longhorns for 392-yards, and three touchdowns. The run game put up 163 total rushing yards, for a total of three rushing touchdowns, as well.
