4. Oklahoma State wins Bedlam

Oklahoma has owned this series, winning 11 of the last 13 meetings between the rivals. The game is in Norman this year and Oklahoma has been playing lights out this season since their early stumble. Oklahoma State has silently made their way up the rankings and are currently ranked tenth in the CFP rankings. If it wasn’t for a bad call way earlier in the year against Central Michigan, Oklahoma State may be playing for a spot in the CFP as a one-loss team.

The Big 12 doesn’t have a championship game, yet with the way the year has gone, the winner of this game effectively wins the Big 12. While it seems very unlikely that the Big 12 will have a team in the CFP, this is still a rivalry game and a chance to make a New Year’s Six bowl are on the line. While Oklahoma has owned this rivalry as of late, and Baker Mayfield’s stats are off the charts (3,381 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, eight interceptions) The Cowboys have a legit chance at the upset. The offensive power sits with the Sooners, but unlike a lot of Big 12 teams, Oklahoma State has a rather good defense.

They will have to find a way to stop Mayfield and Westbrook, and if they can their chances increase. The Cowboys have the 14th best offense in the country scoring over 40 points a game. They will be putting up points.

First team to 30 points wins this game. That should be Oklahoma State if they can contain Baker Mayfield. That is obviously not easy at all. If they can do that, they will win the game and the Big 12.
