Both teams enter this contest at 9-2 on the season. Oklahoma is ninth in the latest playoff poll, with the Cowboys coming in at #10. There is no chance for the winner to jump to the four team playoff, so this is a battle for recruiting turf, knocking off an in-state rival, and Big-12 Championship. The Sooners have won more games than any power-five conference team since the turn of the century with 181. The Sooners got off slow with two losses in their first three games, losing to Houston, and Ohio State, but have run the table since and ride an eight-game winning streak into this contest. They have won all eight games by a stunning margin of 19.1 points per game, and have averaged 49 ppg. Oklahoma State has ripped off seven in a row, but have had three wins by 7, 6, and 1 point. The problem they face is they have allowed 30+ in seven games this season, and Oklahoma has the best offense in the country. Oklahoma State lost to the Sooners at home 58-23 last season, as the Sooners rolled 44 first half points. I don't see a lot of difference here, except this one is in Norman, and could be even uglier. Play on Oklahoma.
