“You have to make sure when you’re in games like that, you have to relax and take it one play at a time”. However, like Baylor before them, an undefeated finish is far from a guarantee that they’ll still get in. “A BOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (10-0): The Cowboys improved their rushing game by rotating quarterback J.T. Walsh into the mix along with Mason Rudolph”. The Cowboys can clinch at least a share of the Big 12 title with a win.

For now though, the Pokes will need to focus on the Bears and the Sooners.
After his first frustrating week of the season, Baylor receiver Corey Coleman is ready to lead the No. 10 Bears’ bounce-back Saturday at No. 6 Oklahoma State.
“The way I can mathematically figure it, I think we’re still very much alive”, Briles said.
Now the Bears must try to bounce back on the road, where they are 6-14 SU in their last 20 November road games. The Cowboys have allowed only 24.5 points per game and are holding opposing passing attacks to 235 yards per game.
The Baylor Bears suffered their first loss of the season last Saturday night at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners, falling at home 44-34. UCLA brings its high-powered offensive attack to Salt Lake City to face a physical Utes defense. Baker Mayfield has been stellar all season and finally grabbed the attention of the national media with his performance last weekend against the Bears. “You prepare each week, you’re playing each week and you have good hope each week, and belief”. Both games are at home, where they have played demonstrably better throughout the season. They average ten more points 48.8 to 38.4 at home, with their average margin of victory in home games sitting at 29.8.

Two of the nation’s top offenses go head to head. Meanwhile, TCU’s loss came to the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who the Sooners have to play in the next few weeks, TCU’s final game is next week against Baylor. Every other Power 5 conference has a title game, which translates into maximum exposure and perhaps most importantly in the eyes of the committee, the almighty quality win/quality loss scenario. That was anticipated to be the matchup of the year in the Big 12, and it still has a chance at being that, but both teams have lost one game. They might not be the team everyone expected to be there, but they might be the only real shot the Big 12 has. But it’s the Big 12 and there’s no championship game – you just know this is going to get messy. In Oklahoma’s five-game winning streak, he has completed 75 percent of his passes (89 of 119) for 1,207 yards with 12 TDs and two interceptions.
