SUGAR BOWL: At 10-0 the Cowboys were thinking playoffs, but they lost their last two games to fall out of the picture. Since 1980, there have only been four power conference teams to start the season unbeaten, then lose their last two games heading into their Bowl game. Those teams are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS, so if you're expecting a letdown history says don't. The Cowboys offense has produced over 41 points per game, and have been very consistent, scoring at least 23 points in every contest. Ole Miss finished the season at 9-3, and they are still getting a bump from a huge early season 43-37 win at Alabama. The truth about that game was that Alabama had 29 first downs to their 16, were out gained by 70 yards, but had a +3 in turnovers. They lost big to Florida 38-10, lost to Memphis by 13, and to Arkansas by a 53-52 margin in a shootout. Oklahoma State will have QB Mason Randolph who is now probable after suffering a foot injury. This game fits a Bowl situation which is 84-40 ATS, so the play is on Oklahoma State.
