The biggest game of Week 10 features the Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys in Bedlam, fighting for stakes in the Big 12 and Playoff.
Bedlam is here and ESPN’s College GameDay is in Stillwater, OK, for one of the biggest matchups of the Big 12 season. The No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners and No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys both enter the contest with one-loss. Moreover, each squad would effectively be eliminated from College Football Playoff contention with a loss.
Oklahoma State is coming off a big 50-39 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers on the road. West Virginia was bounced from the AP Top 25 after the loss at Milan Puskar Stadium. Senior quarterback totaled four touchdowns and senior wide receiver James Washington was on the receiving end of two of them.
Oklahoma is coming off a win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 49-27, at home. Texas Tech has hit a rough stretch of late, especially with the 22-point loss at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Senior quarterback and Heisman contender Baker Mayfield had another big game with 281 passing yards and four touchdowns with only one interception.
The Sooners have dominated the Bedlam Game through the history of this rivalry. The last time that Oklahoma State claimed a victory was in 2014. Over the past two games, the Sooners have won by a combined 53-point margin. Each of those last two meetings were a de facto Big 12 Championship Game as well.
With the Iowa State Cyclones and TCU Horned Frogs tied with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State at the top of the Big 12 standings, the winner of this game will be shot to the top of the title picture. It will also be a huge boost to the resume of one team.
Now, let’s take a look at three bold predictions for the Oklahoma Sooners against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Bedlam in Week 10.
