2. Oklahoma State Cowboys (Record: 9-2)

Much like Oklahoma having to travel through Morgantown for a Big 12 title shot, Oklahoma State had to defeat TCU to earn a place at the table, too. This says a lot about the type of programs being built around the Big 12, but conference representatives have been vocal that the Cowboys’ unfortunate loss against Central Michigan wouldn’t affect its standing, and teams have been treating the Cowboys like a one-loss team.

That being said, it’s clear who had the advantage against TCU on Saturday, but the Horned Frogs’ defense still didn’t allow a complete blowout, despite the 31-6 score.

Quarterback Mason Rudolph has done an excellent job this season, throwing for 3,591 yards, 25 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. With two rushing touchdowns against TCU, that should be an area Oklahoma studies this week in preparation, but the Cowboys have a lot of scoring depth in Chris Carson, James Washington, Chris Lacy, among others, making the offense even harder to contain.

Grab your popcorn, y’all, Bedlam should be a wild one.
