Justanother_0 14 Win over Oklahoma State keeping their heads above water in an otherwise unimpressive resume.

Another team on bye, the Coogs were not quite themselves given the battering Weigman took under center, and while their losses have aged well, not enough has appreciably changed about their performance or their resume to merit a higher position. Worse still is that they're not in control of their destiny for the Big 12, and it's tough to imagine a route where they can find themselves in Arlington despite their performance. Fritz will need to keep his squad focused if they want any shot at postseason glory.
