What’s at stake in this game?
The 10th-ranked Cowboys (10-1, 6-1 Big 12) head into Saturday night's game against No. 14 Oklahoma (9-2, 5-2) with a one-game lead in the Big 12 South standings. They can clinch their first berth in the conference championship game with a victory. They have won 10 games in the regular season for the first time in school history.
"I like to think that we're the underdogs because I like being the underdogs and I like to do things that people didn't think we could do. Beating OU is definitely one of those things," cornerback Andrew McGee said Monday.
"I like to think that we are, even though we have the better record and we're on top of the Big 12 South. I still like that David and Goliath type of feeling."
This is only the 4th time in the Bedlam series history that Oklahoma State has been posted as the favorite.
And for Oklahoma, they will need a win in Stillwater to reach the Big 12 title game for the eighth time and pursue a seventh championship. The Sooners needed wins in each of their last two trips to Stillwater to reach the title game, which they eventually won.
"We've actually been in this situation nine of the last 11 years, so our guys need to embrace it and that's what we've been doing around here," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "Hopefully we can do it again."
