Honestly, I didn’t think there was any chance Oklahoma State would have been able to rebound from a 2-2 start to the season which included a home loss against Central Michigan, but the Cowboys have since proven that loss was a fluke. They have won seven straight games and are setting up for a huge season finale in two weeks.

With Louisville’s loss, the Cowboys will finally get into the top 10 as I’m predicting the Cardinals will be at least at No. 12 for losing to a previously unranked team.

Mike Gundy’s team is playing its best football of the season and the Cowboys just finished off TCU for a nice 31-6 road victory. Although they haven’t been world-beaters to this point in the season, the turnaround that they’ve had has been impressive.

Mason Rudolph might be the best quarterback in football that no one talks about as he’s passed for 3,591 yards and 25 touchdowns with only four interceptions. If the Cowboys can beat the Sooners on Dec. 3 and win the Big 12 title, there’s a slight chance they could head to the playoff.
